Tag: High sugar wine

According to the USDA, an average 5-ounce serving of dry table wine contains only 1 to 2 grams of sugar. This debunks the common misconception that there is a lot of sugar in alcoholic wine, though the exact amount depends heavily on the wine's style and winemaking process.

White wines range in sweetness from bone-dry to lusciously sweet, with the sugar content depending on grape ripeness and the winemaking process. Some of the most popular white wines with a high sugar content include Moscato, late-harvest Riesling, and Sauternes, which can contain significantly more sugar than their dry counterparts. Understanding residual sugar (RS) is key to identifying which white wine is high in sugar.
