Are wine, cider and perry useful sources of vitamin C?
Grapes, apples and pears contain vitamin C. Does this remain intact when you ferment them? Typically how much would a 750 ml. bottle of wine contain? Yeast contains B complex vitamins, which are water soluble. So you'd expect them to remain dissolved in the wine even after it's been clarified. Does wine contain B vitamins?
Answers:
Wines are already fermented so now the chemical takes effect. I know of that wines are rich in flavanoids. These flavanoids are more commonly known as antioxidant activity. Wine's grape skins are rich on this. Also wines contains resveratrol. Nutri facts for you....
