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.
One drink = 5 ounces of standard wine (12% alcohol). This is most table wines: white, red, rosÌ©, champagne. One drink = 3-4 ounces of fortified wine (17% alcohol). This is wine with 13% or more alcohol content, such as sherry or port.
