In the following table are drinks (wines, teas, coffee and others) collected in Italy and analysed for antioxidant activity by Italian researchers. (Please see at the bottom of the page for the source of the data. ) Estimates of total antioxidant capacity in the beverages was carried out with three methods, FRAP, TRAP and TEAC.
