nutritional values in merlot...

[Jerry D Mead]

You can call Elisabeth Holmgren at Wine Institute in San Francisco at (415) 512-0151...tell her Jerry Mead suggested you call (and hopefully she won't hold it against you)...she can provide you with all the information you need.

There may be some of that information at WI's website....www.wineinstitute.org

Re sugar...in dry table wines (especially reds) there is rarely more than .2% fermentable sugar remaining...which is almost nothing.

And there was some recent study which showed that for some reason wine calories don't add pounds...Dr. Bucko who hangs out here may remember if I'm remembering correctly.
