About This Style
What These Profiles Represent
U.S. wine standards describe grape wine and red wine as labeling categories, while table-wine alcohol ranges and varietal names depend on product labeling and jurisdiction. For case review, the most useful fact is usually the specific bottle or menu item, not a broad red-wine average.
Red wine strength varies by grape variety, region, vintage, and producer. A 5 fl oz serving at 12% ABV is one U.S. standard drink under the NIAAA definition, while higher-ABV reds such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Zinfandel, Amarone, or fortified-style table entries can exceed that reference dose.
The red-wine profiles on this page include mainstream supermarket wines, import labels, regional appellation wines, and vintage-specific products. The geography map follows producer country and product-catalog origin information, not consumer popularity. Any For BAC simulation, use the selected product, actual pour size, ABV on the bottle, and timing facts rather than assuming the subtype average applies.
