Oh no! They can't take away my wine!

According to an article I just read many wines have metal in them in unsafe levels. They raise warnings for "THQ" levels above 1 for seafood...and some of these wines have 50-200 per glass! According to the article: "The levels of vanadium, copper and manganese had the highest impact on THQ measures, researchers said. Excess intake of metal ions has been linked to neurological problems like Parkinson's disease." The scientists deemed wines from Brazil, Italy and Argentina to be safe. If I were to get Parkinson's disease I'd have trouble holding my wine glass :(
