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.

Oxidative stress reflects an imbalance between an organism’s excessive production of oxygen radicals and its reduced capacity to detoxify. Oxidative intermediates, such as OH•, O•2−, and NO•, attack cell components and cause inflammation, cancer, ageing, and metabolic diseases [1,2]. It has been commonly accepted that the prevention of oxidative stress benefits human health [3,4]. For example, the ingestion of natural plants such as vegetables, fruits, and tea [5–10] has been well identified to counteract the amount of oxidative stress that cells encounter and to reduce the incidence of diseases related to oxidative damage [11–14]. The positive effect of a phytogenic diet on human health can be mainly attributed to the abundance of bioactive flavonols with pharmaceutical properties.<ref name=gaofan>Gao Y, Fang L, Wang X, et al.
