This is because theres increasing concern about the trend of rising alcoholic levels. Table wines used to hover around the 12% mark: now its rare to find them below 13%, and wines with 14 or 14.5% alcohol are commonly encountered. And its not all that unusual to see wines tipping the scales at 15%. This feature takes a broad-perspective look at this topic, asking why it is that these rising alcohol levels are a concern, and then looking at what can be done about them.
A large glass of wine contains as many calories as an ice cream. We often drink wine with a meal. But did you know that a large glass of wine (250ml) with 13% ABV can add 228 calories to your dinner? Thatâs similar to an ice cream or two fish fingers. A standard glass of red or white wine (175ml) with 13% ABV could also contain up to 160 calories, similar to a slice of Madeira cake.
