Is red wine a healthier choice than white wine? Uncorking the cancer risks

Researchers found no clear evidence that red wine mitigates cancer risk, and instead observed a distinction in skin cancer risk. White wine consumption was associated with an increased risk of skin cancer compared to red wine, particularly among women. Heavy wine consumption may correlate to high-risk behaviors.

E-tongue can detect white wine spoilage before humans can

A recent study found that an e-tongue can detect signs of microorganisms in white wine within a week after contamination, four weeks before a human panel notices the change in aroma. This technology has the potential to augment traditional methods and allow winemakers to catch and mitigate problems sooner.
