What a load of bunkum - what is "wine extract" - what is "distilled" thru
my body after drinking several bottles?

Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins (OPC) are extracts from grape seeds, french
maritime pine bark as well as red wine, cranberries, blueberries,
bilberries, tea (green and black), black currant, onions, legumes, parsley,
and the herb hawthorn.

As well as the usual claims in respect to antioxidants, some manufacturers
suggest that OPCs "may" be beneficial in relieving such discomfortures such
as chronic venous insufficiency, a condition closely related to varicose
veins. In both of these conditions, blood pools in the legs, causing aching,
pain, heaviness, swelling, fatigue, and unsightly visible veins. Fairly good
preliminary evidence suggests that OPCs can relieve leg pain and swelling.
However, no studies have evaluated whether regular use of OPCs can make
visible varicose veins disappear, or prevent new ones from developing.

As usual with such supplements, much available data is anecdotal and
suggestive, and claims made are vague.

There are more acceptable ways of promoting your blog than popping up, off
topic in an existing thread, in a newsgroup to which you have never made any
previous contribution.
