In a recent BBC piece it was claimed that two glasses of wine were enough to hit the daily sugar limit of a typical adult (30g). I thought it sounded a bit unlikely so I did a bit of my own research and dug out the original report into the sugar content of wines by the Alcohol Health Alliance (see above) As is plain to see if you pick the the highest sugar content wine, a Moscato (which frankly most people will never have heard of) then you may get close to that figure, however wines that would more commonly be drunk by people like a red Shiraz or Merlot contained only traces of free sugar (i.e. none). I wish the BBC would take more care to provide useful information (being a public service) and not pump out sensationalist headlines that are pure click-bait.
