LONDON: A group of specialists has warned that drinking two glasses of wine in one day can cause you to exceed the recommended daily sugar intake.
The Alcohol Health Alliance UK (AHA), which includes over 60 health organisations, examined the calorie and sugar content of 30 bottles of red, white, rose, fruit, and sparkling wine available in the UK. Not only was there a broad range of sugar and calorie content among wines, but consumers were also "kept in the dark" about what they were drinking because critical information was absent from most labels. The investigation stated that consumer information was "woefully inadequate," researchers said.
Adults should take no more than 30g of so-called free sugars per day, according to government standards. According to the UK Alcohol Health Alliance study, consuming two medium glasses of wine provided nearly the entire quantity. But it wasn't just the sugar level that was excessive; the study found that just two medium-sized glasses of the most calorie-dense wines had more calories than a McDonald's burger.
