Now that's a can of worms! Good luck sorting that one out; I have no idea!2

Well if food labelling laws applied to wine you would know how much sugar was in it!0

Whoops that sounded a little harsh, sorry that wasn't the intent! We have a neighbour who is a Winery and he often brags about the content of his grapes and it does make me wonder if food labelling applied we would have more of an idea of how many sugars and kilojules are in the product. The grape grower waits until the sugar content is a certain level before picking and sending off to eventually end up in bottles.
From www
The amount of sugar in wine grape influences potential alcohol content after fermentation, and the amount of residual sugars remaining in the wine. The Total Soluble Solids (TSS) in wine grapes is normally 99% sugars (glucose and fructose).
So I guess it is everything in moderation!

There is a wine label "Early Harvest"...from memory it's a Lindeman's variety. It's both lower calorie and lower alcohol for that reason!0

You know, I once read an article from some random website that said the resveratrol in red wine may enhance the effects of chemo against cancer cells.............wow did I take that one and run with it...LOL No, I didn't really believe it but it sounded good.

I would so love to want a glass of red wine (although I know I probably shouldn't). The idea so appeals but the chemo tastebuds and tummy say "no".0

Happy to say wine was just about the only thing that tasted normal to me. Thank goodness for small mercies right.?3

Hi all there are good antioxidants in other red food sources such as black olives,cranberries blueberries even chocolate
Look up web site for Better heath food channel ... the higher the alcoholic content the higher the kilojoule content
so not just a sugar topic to consider
Enjoy the smaller glass of red maybe
