trans-Resveratrol shows an impact on platelet aggregation and vasodilatation, and through its effect on the antioxidant status, regulates gene expression and decreases the total lipid concentration (cholesterol and triglycerides) [115]. Although less potent, cis-resveratrol, trans-, and cis-piceid also improve the antioxidant activity [116, 117]. Piceid absorption is enhanced by the presence of its sugar [118]. trans-Resveratrol inhibits the initiation and growth of tumors. It inhibits cyclooxygenase, ornithine decarboxylase, and angiogenesis [119, 120]. trans-Piceid is a weaker inhibitor of ROS production [121]. As flavonoids, trans-resveratrol alters the synthesis of eicosanoids (mediators of inflammation) and decreases the leukotriene/prostacyclin ratio by modifying lipoxygenase activity [120–122]. Estrogenic activity has recently been reported for some stilbenes, especially trans-resveratrol. cis-Resveratrol appears less potent [120, 123].<ref name=coljer/>

The relationship between alcohol consumption and cardiovascular events or all-cause mortality is described as a J-shaped curve, whereby maximum benefit is achieved at a moderate consumption level (Roerecke & Rehm, 2012; Sierksma & Kok, 2012).<ref name=zapmar>Zapata PJ, Martínez-Esplá A, Gironés-Vilaplana A, Santos-Lax D, Noguera-Artiaga L, Carbonell-Barrachina ÁA.
