I am wondering on the grams of sugar in a regular glass of wine

It depends completely on the type of wine. In a dry wine most of the sugar has been converted to alcohol, in a sweet wine there will be a lot more residual sugar.
Look in the winemakers notes and you'll see the sugar listed as RS or residual sugar.
Take for example these two wines from the same winery, a Cabernet Sauvignon with 2.2 grammes per liter (liter = 1000ml) and a dessert wines with 135.0 g/l
A standard glass is one sixth of a bottle, a bottle is 750ml, so a standard glass is 125ml.
Thus the Cabernet has 0.275 grammes, and the dessert wine has 16.875 grammes. (Divide g/l by 1000 and multiply by 125.)
However, how sweet or dry the wine tastes in the mouth is affected by other things, such as the amount of acid and tannins.
And if you are concerned about weight gain, remember that alcohol has many calories.
The tasting notes for the two wines used as an example are at http://www.kleinconstantia.com/cabsauv.htm and http://www.kleinconstantia.com/vindeconstance.htm
I have been answering wine questions here for many months and I cannot remember having a question about sugar in a glass of wine before, and now this is the second question in two days. Coincidence?

It really depends on the type of wine. Haha, and what you classify as a regular glass!
Generally speaking, the dry wines (Sauvignon blanc, chardonnay, verdehlo, to name a few - there are plenty of dry reds as well) have next to no residual sugar at all. Except they do contain negative calories. Dessert wines, sangrias, sweet sparkling and the like have quite a lot, and should be avoided if you're trying to cut back on sugars or carbs. So if you asked for diet reasons, ie. carb counting and the like, in moderation, why not?
Anyhow, here's a great link with most Q's on wine sugar and calories answered...

this question is impossible to respond to with out understanding how great the wine glass is and how lots sugar is interior the wine. in case you be attentive to the two, then that is undemanding arithmetic. First locate out how lots sugar is interior the wine. that is measured as RS (residual sugar) in grammes according to liter. flow to the vineyard internet site of the wine you have an activity in and look for the winemakers notes on that wine. there's a great variance interior the quantity of RS in a wine, from a million-2 g/L in a dry wine to 135g/l or greater in a candy dessert wine If there are x g/L interior the wine, and the wine glass is a usual 125ml (i.e. one 6th of a usual bottle or one 8th of a liter) then the grams of sugar according to glass is x divided via 8

There is NO sugar in wine, it has been converted into alcohol.

Depends on how dry it is.
A merlot has the least, I think.
