I can't do Concord grape juice, I'll stick with red wine.

Abstract
Concord grape juice contains polyphenol compounds, which have
antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and influence neuronal
signalling. Concord grape juice supplementation has been shown to reduce
inflammation, blood pressure and vascular pathology in individuals with
CVD, and consumption of such flavonoid-containing foods is associated
with a reduced risk for dementia. In addition, preliminary animal data
have indicated improvement in memory and motor function with grape juice
supplementation, suggesting potential for cognitive benefit in ageing
humans. In this initial investigation of neurocognitive effects, we
enrolled twelve older adults with memory decline but not dementia in a
randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial with Concord grape
juice supplementation for 12 weeks. We observed significant improvement
in a measure of verbal learning and non-significant enhancement of
verbal and spatial recall. There was no appreciable effect of the
intervention on depressive symptoms and no effect on weight or waist
circumference. A small increase in fasting insulin was observed for
those consuming grape juice. These preliminary findings suggest that
supplementation with Concord grape juice may enhance cognitive function
for older adults with early memory decline and establish a basis for
more comprehensive investigations to evaluate potential benefit and
assess mechanisms of action.
