Now try to think of a dish that contains all of â¦ the groups: grain product, vegetables and fruits, milk and alternatives, and meat and alternatives. A pizza is an example of a mixed dish. It can have all four food groups!
For wine, the sugar comes from grapes. The riper the grape, the more sugar in the fruit there is to convert to alcohol. Sometimes when grapes are not as ripe as winemakers would like, they add cane or beet sugar before fermentation is complete to achieve a higher amount of alcohol, a process called chaptalization.
Calories in Wine Come From Carbs and Alcohol. Wine is made of mostly water, alcohol, carbohydrates and trace minerals(1). The carbohydrates come from residual sugar left in wine. Dry wines have less than 3 grams/Liter and sweet wines typically range from 20-150 g/L (some can have up to 300 g/L!). A late harvest dessert wine may have about 150 g/L of sugar compared to Coca-Cola at 111 g/L and Maple Syrup at 700 g/L(2).
