If you’re unsure how to find a low-sugar wine that tastes great to keep your sugar intake low, there are a few things to look for when ordering a shipment from your club. Though wine bottles rarely have nutrition facts that indicate the grams of sugar per glass, there is a helpful data point on every label. The ABV, or alcohol by volume, of a wine bottle, can provide a helpful hint to the sugar content. As a general rule, wines with a lower ABV have lower sugar levels.
Second, it’s an excellent strategy to avoid dessert or fortified wines, or any bottle with flavor notes that include words like “sweet”, “dolce”, “doux” or “late harvest”. You’re better off looking for the word “dry”. This applies to reds, whites, and sparkling wines. The price and availability of wine can be another indication. Inexpensive, large bottles or boxes may mean more added sugar and artificial flavorings. It can be worth it to pay a little more for higher-quality products.
