“…The use of alcoholic drinks with herbal extracts is also documented in European pharmacy since the 1 st century CE [3]. In the late Victorian period, a marketing strategy of wine sellers re-launched the "special wines for the use of invalids" which contains coca, quinine or other plants with tonic effects [4]. During time, a wide range of herbs and tree resins were used to prepare medicinal wines and the recipes varied from country to country, from culture to culture and continued until nowadays [5,6].…”

Two variants of medicinal wine were prepared, through the maceration of sage leaves (Salvia officinalis L. Lamiaceae) and sea rush rhizomes (Juncus maritimus Lam. Juncaceae) in natural red wine for 21 days. The ratio of dried plants added to wine was 0.1 % w/w for each in the first extract (medicinal wine 1) and 0.25% w/w for each in the second one (medicinal wine 2). The extraction conditions were similar in both products. Subsequently the two macerates were filtered and subjected to analysis (total polyphenols content Folin-Ciocalteu), monomeric anthocyanins content, polymerised compounds percentage, polyphenolic acids by HPLC and antioxidant activity (PHOTOCHEM). The two medicinal wines contain high amounts of polyphenols but also anthocyanins from the wine. Both medicinal wines contain higher polymerised compounds percentage given to the red wine most likely due to the polyphenol oxidases from dried plants. The increase of the antioxidant activities of the two macerates rendered to the raw wine corelates well with the increase of polyphenol amount
