Here’s a drink billing itself as “the first beverage to provide the health benefits of red wine, without the alcohol.” As we head into the holidays, perhaps this is a trend that should get a little attention – particularly for designated drivers!

Embodiâ„¢ is a non-alcoholic red win alternative, offering the antioxidant benefits of red wine – actually, each 8 oz. bottle reportedly has the same health benefits as two glasses of red wine. They tell us that, “The secret to Embodi is a special pomace extract made from the seeds, stems and skins of the red wine grapes. This extract contains the full-spectrum of polyphenols antioxidants found in red wine.”

Polyphenols are natural plant compounds that have been scientifically proven to help the body support cardiovascular wellness and healthy cellular growth.

The beverage comes in three flavor blends – Tropical Revival, Berry Renewal and Citrus Resurgence – all offering the same red wine health benefits. Let’s see . . . flavor variety, no hangover, less expensive, and you don’t have to be over 21 to try it. Sounds like they are on to something.
