i love red wine is it very fattening?

Answer 1

It isn't that wine is fattening but it is high in sugars/fructose, different red wines are made from a conglomeration of regions throughout the world, the grapes/processing of determine the sugar quantity/sugar depletion from the body of the wine itself so if you drink a red that comes from a more a dry region chances are the wine will be light bodied and low in sugar vs a region where it is humid and moist would be higher in sugar, soils are rich and shape the flavor of the grape. Here's an example of what would be lower in sugar vs. higher. Here's whites: Pinot grigio high, white zinfandel,high, chardonnay moderately low region pending, REDS: Amorane, high, due to conglomeration of grape mixture, malbec, high due to processing, Cab- moderate, Merlot- low, Chianti- very low, syrah- very low, pinot noir, moderate, ripasso's- moderate, HOPE THIS HELPS. I specialize in wines so I wrote this post in la-men's terms even I need it that way at times, HAPPY NEW YEAR

PS you can tell alot by color, deeper the red-richer the wine, usually high in sugar, the more shallow the color in the reds, low in sugar, dry taste, you'll get it, find a wine store go in with 50 bucks tell she/he your tastes' and start to sample thats how your palate will grow
