Which is healthier between red wine and white wine?

Because the cardio-productive compounds in grapes are found in the skin and seeds, it was thought for a long time that red wine was healthier because the skin and seeds are not removed before the pulp is made .

But recent studies have found that the flesh of the grapes might be just as healthy as the skin, so white wine might be healthier than was previously thought.

Though both red and white wine will increase your HDL (good cholesterol)level, red wine does contain higher levels of phenolic antioxidants than white wine.
