Red Wine CONTAINS great antioxidants, but is not itself an antioxidant. Resveratrol, OPC's, polyphenols - they're all in red wine. Because red wine is sealed off by the cork, it's a better antioxidant vehicle than most because the antioxidants aren't oxidized prior to uncorking the bottle.
The site www.benefits-of-resveratrol.com/antioxidant-facts.html is a great source of information on that. As well, they have a page called Chemical Composition of Wine (http://www.benefits-of-resveratrol.com/chemical-composition-of-wine.html) where you can see all the antioxidants listed.
As an added FYI:
An antioxidant is any molecule that is stable with or without all its necessary electrons. A free radical, on the other hand, is a molecule that is unstable when it loses an electron.
The purpose of an antioxidant is to donate one of its electrons to the unstable free radicals. Once it has done that, both molecules are stable.
An unstable free radical causes damage to nearby healthy cells when it "bounces" around looking for an electron to steal. A damaged healthy cell is the cause of aging, illness and disease.
Antioxidants, therefore, are nature's solution to that problem.
