The overall objective of this study is to investigate the effects of different types of red wine on markers of endothelial function and platelet aggregation.

Potential participants are provided with information about the study and potential risks. Once participants decided to participate in the study, they will be scheduled for a health screening visit which determines eligibility to the study entry. If participants are eligible, they will be randomized in a three-way crossover study design to receive three interventions (control, red wine1, and red wine2) with the one-week washout period. On the study day, participants will be assessed for baseline measurements, provided with the designated beverage, and followed up for the measurements at 2 and 4 hours after the consumption.
