Don't dump that wine yet Joe.
The label on my jar of vitamins says........"each tablet contains 3
milligrams of copper (150% of the minimum daily requirement)." If your wine
contains 3 milligrams of copper per liter, one 750 liter bottle of wine
would contain 2.25 milligrams of copper or just about the MDR of copper.
I would drink the wine. But, I would make sure I didn't drink more than 3
or 4 bottles per day.
