Wine or Grapes

My friend told me that a recent study reveals that wine can actually be instrumental in preventing skin cancer.  I said, "Good deal!"  Then she added, "But you can get the same effect from eating grapes."   I said, "No Carol Rose-- I've eaten grapes and I've drunk wine, and they DO NOT have the same effect!" 
Well I'm all for protecting my skin, so let me share some of my secrets for doing so.  I am quite fond of the following remedies.


These are all California blends, and their names are so seductive-sounding.  PromisQous (the label adds that it refers to multiple partners--meaning several grapes) is one of the most pleasing to my palate. Menage a Trois (pairing of three red grapes) and Hot to Trot from the 14 Hands Cellar.  I can't find a real definition for the word 'Apothic', but the vintner claims it refers to a mythical place where delicious wines were made.  I do know that all of these wines suit me well as far as taste and price are concerned.  Paired with a juicy steak, they are perfect!
