Alcoholic beverage, wine, table, all
Whole food · Beverages
Table wine is a light, alcoholic beverage derived from fermented grapes, offering a clean, crisp taste with subtle notes of fruit, earth, or oak depending on the variety. Its nutrition profile is minimal, providing about 83 kcal per 100ml with negligible protein, fat, or fiber, and a small amount of residual sugar.
💚 Why it's loved
People love table wine for its complex flavors and the way it complements a meal, from a crisp Sauvignon Blanc with seafood to a bold Cabernet with steak. It's deeply woven into cultural traditions, from Italian family dinners to French bistros, symbolizing celebration and conviviality.
⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
The primary concern is its alcohol content, which can impair judgment and is high in empty calories; those monitoring blood sugar should note the 0.79g sugar per 100ml can add up. To counteract, practice strict portion control (a standard 5oz/150ml glass), avoid drinking on an empty stomach, and alternate with water.

FAQ
What's the difference between table wine and dessert wine?
Table wine is typically dry (low sugar) and meant to accompany a meal, while dessert wine is sweet and served after dinner. Table wine usually has 8-14% alcohol, whereas dessert wines can be higher.
Does the color of wine affect its nutrition?
Red, white, and rosé table wines have very similar calorie and sugar profiles per 100ml. The main difference is in antioxidant content, with reds generally having more due to skin contact during fermentation.
Is wine gluten-free?
Yes, pure wine made from grapes is naturally gluten-free. However, some flavored wines or those processed with gluten-containing additives may pose a risk for those with severe celiac disease.
