> The median life span of taurine-treated mice increased by 10 to 12%, and life expectancy at 28 months increased by about 18 to 25%. A meaningful antiaging therapy should not only improve life span but also health span, the period of healthy living. We, therefore, investigated the health of taurine-fed middle-aged mice and found an improved functioning of bone, muscle, pancreas, brain, fat, gut, and immune system, indicating an overall increase in health span. We observed similar effects in monkeys.

I don't think any studies have shown red wine to have a clear casual impact like that, even just in mice.



10-12% of a mouse's life is 5 or 6 months. Assuming it's going to extend human lives by 7 years and not 6 months is being optimistic at best.
