Abstract		Recent findings regarding the importance of oxydised low density lipoproteins for development of atherosclerosis are presented. In this respect, a putative protective effect of flavonoids, present in the red wine, which act as antioxidants is described. The author points out that moderate red wine consumption seems to be good for health, but warns against danger of heavy drinking. However, some possible negative effects of flavonoids and antioxidants in general have also been reported, which argue for caution in advising wine consumption as a health promoting activity.
