Another polyphenol to red wine

A group of French chemists find in red wine a compound called acusitimine A. This compound is considered to be used in anticancer drugs.

Acusitimine A was first discovered sixteen years ago on the surface of the oak trunk. It is no coincidence, therefore, its presence in red wine, since the research has been done with aged wine in oak barrels.
