How Much Sugar Is in a Glass of Wine?

How Much Sugar Is in a Glass of Wine?

The sugar content of wine varies enormously — from 0g per glass in a bone-dry Brut Nature sparkling wine to over 8g per glass in an off-dry rosé or medium white. Most people don't realise how much commercial wines contain because sugar isn't required to be labelled on wine bottles in the UK or EU.
