The point is that a standard serving of any booze has about the same amount of alcohol - 12 oz of beer, 4 ounces of wine, and a shot of hard liquor are all about the same in terms of getting you drunk.
For wine, reds generally have more alcohol than whites. A white may have, say, 10%, and a red 15%, so drinking three glasses of white can be the same as drinking just two glasses of red.
The exact % is written clearly on the label.

depends on the wine. the bottle i had yesterday was 14%
"The United States requires that alcohol by volume information be included on wine labels. For TABLE WINE, the United States requires a minimum alcohol level of 7 percent and a maximum of 14 percent. The label variance can be up to 1.5 percent. For example, a wine stating "Alcohol 12.5% By Volume" can legally range anywhere from 11 to 14 percent."
as for getting drunk off of wine, it depends on your tolerance. wine has a higher alcohol content than beer so dont sip on it like you're drinking a beer.

Wine is stronger than beer, but weaker than liquor. Wine has about twice the alcohol per ounce as beer (about 12 to 14 percent). So -- yes, you can very easily get drunk on wine. Every six ounce glass is equal to one beer or one shot of booze. Red wine causes the most hangover.

It differs from wine to wine but most wine is about 12% alcohol

depends what kind of wine it is...Wine can have from 7 per cent alcohol to 14 percent and then there are fortified wines which can be up to 21 percent alcohol...Hard liquor from the liquor store is 40 percent alcohol and beer is around 4.5 to 7 and some rare one are 10 percent. You figure it out...

I think wine has even less alcohol content than beer, or about the same. So you would have to drink a few glasses to get intoxicated
