Two years ago, a group of friends were enjoying a glass of wine in the Mosel region in south-west Germany when their conversation turned to the health benefits of the drink. During the fermentation process of making wine, by-products are often discarded as waste and the friends reasoned that since these by-products contain the goodness of wine in an even more concentrated form, and without the alcohol, shouldn’t it be more often used and consumed by humans? One of the friends was Bernd Diehl, the 48-year-old co-owner of a German chemical analysis company called Spectral Service. He proposed a method of turning the by-products into a powder preserving as many of the natural, healthy properties of wine as possible – the proteins, B vitamins, minerals and polyphenols, which are thought to prevent heart or circulation diseases, inflammation and thrombosis. As well as developing wine powder, the company also wants to test their powders in different kinds of products – in both food and drink, as well as in make-up. Skin creams using the powder are rather effective and some wine properties can be good for the skin, including having anti-wrinkle effects.
