Apricot Wine

KristinaB83

I picked up a bottle of Chizay Wine Berry Apricot wine. It's 11% alcohol by volume.
I'm trying to find nutritional information for it, but I've had no luck.
Has anyone come across this stuff before? Know what the info is? or know what the most comparable thing is in the food database?
Any help would be appreciated.

I've never heard of it. In Ontario we have a sweetness grading system for how much sugar a wine contains.
If it's a 0 (zero, very dry) you can just count the alcohol. A wine grade 1, 2, or 3 has an increasing amount of sugar remaining.
From the sound of that wine I'm guessing it's sweet, and if it is, I'd log it like a sweet white wine (yuck).

Hmm...
So for a 6 ounce glass, would I log 11% alcohol ( about 19g), and then log 89% juice? Does that sound right?

Do you have a smartphone with a barcode scanner? If you do, and the bottle has a barcode on it, that should be able to bring up the nutritional information on it.

I'd just add 120 kcals and move on.
Enjoy your wine.

I think I may be taking this a little too seriously.
I'll just log it with the 14% apricot wine in the database. I don't plan on drinking more than a glass or two of it anyway so I guess it isn't a huge deal if it's not exact.

Thank you for your help

You're welcome.
If you're of 20-40 kcals, run up and down the stairs a few times. (Before the wine)

I tried that but it came up with nothing =(
