a high wine fiber diet?

A research team from the Spanish National Research Council recently published an article in the American Journal of Enology and Viticulture on their discovery that following water and alcohol, the third most prevelant component in wine is fiber.

Of good news is that it is soluble fiber, the type most lacking in the diets of people in industrialized countries. The downside (perhaps) is that the amount of fiber is fairly low: about 1 gram per liter of red Spanish wine and 0.2 grams per liter of white.

A wine from Jumilla, in southeastern Spain, was found with 1.4 grams of fiber per liter. So, perhaps a Jumilla High Fiber Diet is in order!
