Red wine is reported to reduce the incidence of heart disease, lung cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. There is also some evidence that red wine may be effective for reducing insomnia amongst tinnitus patients. Grape skins are full of melatonin, which is the key hormone created in the body at night time promoting sleep. White wines do not contain high levels of the hormone as their skins are removed for wine making. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Chianti are the wines which contain highest levels of melatonin. 

A study in 1998 into the therapeutic effects of melatonin on tinnitus has shown that 46.7% of patients who had 3mg melatonin tablets nightly for 3 weeks reported an overall improvement in tinnitus compared to 20.0% improvement in the placebo group. Melatonin has few side effects and appears to be quite helpful in tinnitus management [[i]].
