Recent studies have shown that resveratrol (3,5,4'‐trihydroxystilbene), a phytoalexin related to grape disease resistance, could occur in American and Bordeaux wines. It was also suggested that resveratrol might have cardioprotective activities in humans, as a result of drinking wine. We report here the presence of this compound in Burgundy wines. Analysis of resveratrol in wine was carried out using gas chromatography and gas chromatography—mass spectrometry.
