I believe most of the health benefits from drinking wine are also found in grape juice

No, it actually has to do with the effect the alcohol has on your blood and in return, your heart.
Alchohol does have some benefits. But, I believe what Trisk was refering to was the flavaniods in wine/grape juice that prevent the oxidation of "bad cholesterol" that leads to the formation of plaque on artery walls. Also, antioxidents in grape juice have been shown to linger in the blood stream longer than the antioxidents in wine.

But, I do a glass of the ol' vino every now and again. In fact, I'm enjoying one now.

My sugestion - never drink pop (even diet). Can't find anything good about it.
