Muscadine Wine - Can it Really Standup to Traditional Wines?

Red Wine

[Here is a secret - we love muscadine grapes! Not for the taste, but for the incredible health benefits. This post is another in our series - "Exploring the Muscadine Grapes - A Gift from Mother Nature". If you are new to Muscadines - you need to read our Muscadine Grapes Special Report]

If you have been following our articles on muscadines you know that we love the muscadine grapes. Our love affair is not exactly with the taste of muscadines but with its nutrients. Muscadines tend to have a very sweet flavor and they are much less subtle then traditional grapes.

Will Muscadine Wine ever be Mistaken for a Fine Wine?

With great apologies to all our friends in the south who do a terrific job growing muscadine grapes – no, Muscadine Wine will never be in the same category as the top fine wines. Don’t get us wrong, Muscadine Wines have come a long way over the past several years and their taste has greatly improved. It is just our opinion that muscadines just don’t make the world’s best wines. Maybe it is the ellagic acid, the tough skin or the extra chromosomes – but there is something that makes muscadine wine have a different taste than traditional red wine.

What Muscadines Lack in Taste They Makeup For in Nutrients

While Muscadine Wine may not compete on flavor, it absolutely wins on nutrition. Muscadine Wine will deliver more resveratrol and ellagic acid than any other wine in the world. As we have discussed in our previous articles on muscadines, the muscadine grape is like a gift from Mother Nature – packed full with incredible nutrients and health benefits.

Muscadine Wine a Good Way to Get Muscadines – But Not the Best

One of the very interesting aspects of the Muscadine grape is the different nutrients found in the muscadine skin, pulp and seeds. All parts of the muscadine grape have healthy nutrients, so the best approach is to find a way to take muscadine skins, pulp and seed. Since Musadine Wine does not use the muscadine seeds, it provides some nutrients, but not everything the muscadine has to offer.

Look for Whole Fruit Muscadine Supplements to Get Everything the Muscadine Has to Offer

We are starting to see some high quality Muscadine supplements that are made with the skin, pulp and seed. You also want to make sure the muscadines were not sprayed with any pesticides, as this will reduced their nutritional content. The Perfect ResGrape Resveratrol is a favorite of ours and a great way to make muscadines a part of your diet. If you still want your Muscadine Wine, try using some muscadine wine to wash down the Perfect ResGrape capsules!
