Possibly: There have been studies, the best known one from harvard stating that 1 glass of red wine with your meal may be good for cardiovascular health. There is an antioxidant in grapes called resveretrol that may be reason.

Red wine: There is some data to suggest that a glass of red wine a night can help but far from definitive.
