How much alcohol does wine have and how much do you need to drink to get drunk?

Answer 1

Most wines are anywhere from 9% alcohol to 15% alcohol, so they have more alcohol in them than beer (unless you're talking about certain types of very strong European beer). How much it takes to get drunk depends on your body weight and your tolerance to alcohol. Some people can get very tipsy on one glass of wine, but other people can drink a whole bottle and not even feel it. WARNING: Don't ever drink to get drunk. It's a good way to get yourself killed -- either by drinking and driving or by drinking so much that you get alcohol poisoning and go into an alcohol-induced coma.

Answer 2

The average bottle of wine is 11-13%. It depends on the person on how much you have to drink before your drunk but to be legally drunk; say a bottle of wine has 5 - 5.5oz glasses 1 glass contains as much alcohol as about 2 beers so I wouldnt recomend driving on mor than 2 glasses

Answer 3

As a general rule, wine has between 10 to 15 % alcohol by volume. The old measure was Proof. It depends on your ethnic origin, your metabolism and also your alcohol tolerance. Heavy drinkers need more alcohol before they get intoxicated. As The Travelling Gourmet, I give Wine masterclasses and organise special wine and food events, and I have seen people inebriated on 3 glasses of wine. Of course, it should be realised that alcohol should be enjoyed in moderation and is only healthy in moderation.

It depends on the type of wine. Some wine has a lot - like 13% and some has very little - like 6%. I'm only 5' 2" and I can drink an entire bottle of the 13% and not get drunk. (I'm Catholic!) :-D Depends on your tolerance. I also find that red makes me more tipsy than white.

Answer 5

Most wines are like 12% alchohol. It depends on how much you can handle, if you drink often or not. Some people can get a nice buzz from like 2 glasses. Personally, I need about 4-5 to get even close to a buzz! Drink up!

Highest for an unfortified wine is 17% after that it is classed as a fortified wine.
Tolerance to alcohol is a personal thing and depends on many factors: health, consumption of food, mood, age etc.

The bottle lists how much alcohol it has. Even so-called non-alcoholic beers and wines still have some alcohol in them, so minors cannot purchase them.

How much it takes to get drunk depends on the individual. Some people can get drunk with just one sip of something, while it takes someone else quite a bit before they feel any effects.

Answer 10

Wine has an alcohol content of around 10-15%. 4oz of wine is roughly equal to 1 12oz can of beer or 1 1oz shot of hard liquor. How much it takes to get drunk varies on size and tollerance of the individual.
