beverages

Red Wine

-0.5

Moderate consumption provides resveratrol and polyphenols with anti-inflammatory benefits, though alcohol itself has pro-inflammatory effects.

Ingredient score breakdown

Resveratrol

-0.8

Polyphenol activates anti-inflammatory pathways and provides cardiovascular protection.

Polyphenols

-0.6

Flavonoids and anthocyanins reduce oxidative stress and inflammatory markers.

Alcohol

+0.9

Ethanol metabolism produces inflammatory compounds and can damage gut barrier integrity.

Why this score

This score is ingredient-based and weighted by DII-inspired evidence. Foods with added sugar, refined starches, and heavy processing trend higher; foods with fiber, omega-3, and polyphenols trend lower.

FODMAP note

Red wine is low FODMAP in small amounts but can trigger symptoms in alcohol-sensitive individuals.
