Wine, red

Red wine is an alcoholic drink made by fermenting grapes. The figures here describe a mixed sample of wines from different countries. It mainly provides water and alcohol, with small amounts of carbohydrate and protein. Per 100ml, it contains 315 kJ of energy, 11g of alcohol, 0.2g of sugars and 0.1g of protein.

Alcohol contributes energy, so a low sugar content does not mean that a drink is low in energy. Alcohol also affects judgement and coordination, and drinking it carries health risks. Red wine is not a significant source of most vitamins. Full nutrient figures, including its mineral content, are in the tables below.
