I apparently have a new superpower. I'm immune to sunburn. In all seriousness even though the title of the article clearly implies that research found drinking wine protects against sunburn, the researchers found no such thing. Instead, "They found that flavonoids in the grapes can stop the chemical reaction that causes cells to die and therefore skin damage." And they found it "invitro" meaning a test tube. Nobody put wine drinkers in the sun to see what happened. So I wouldn't down a bottle of Burgundy and go to the beach, if I were you. Well, actually I would but I wouldn't do it without sunblock.
