How Much Sugar Is In Prosecco?

19/7/2015

21 Comments

 
We all know one of the quickest ways to lose weight is to cut down on alcohol because it is often packed with hidden sugars.  You might be surprised to learn exactly how much is in our alcoholic drinks.

Guidelines suggest men shouldn’t consume more than eight teaspoons (32g) of sugar a day or women six teaspoons (24g) a day.

Luckily, as Prosecco lovers we are quaffing one of the lowerer sugar content drinks, with a quarter of a teaspoon of sugar per glass.

Here’s a league table of sugar content (figure shown is the number of teaspoons):

Pint of Guinness or stout - 5
Pint of premium lager - 3.5
568ml bottle of Magners pear cider - 8.5
Pint of Strongbow dry cider - 3.5
175ml glass of mulled wine - 11 
175ml glass of medium sweet wine - 2.5
Vodka and Red Bull - 7 
Gin and tonic - 5.5 
Vodka and Coca Cola - 6.5 
Sambuca shot - 4 
Amaretto shot - 4 
50ml glass of Baileys - 2.5 
50ml glass of Port - 3 
50ml glass of sweet sherry - 2 
Smirnoff Ice - 7.5
Barcardi Breezer - 5.25

Interesting reading, and a good reason to stick to the sparkles!

Kurt - I'm pretty sure it's the sugar!! higher sugar content = higher calories

Shame people can't just be nice - why bother commenting if they are just going to be nasty?

I find Prosecco a bit dry but my tip is to add a teaspoon of sugar and then it's more like Babycham. You don't seem to be able to get that any more.

I drink three glasses of wine a day. One for the Father. One for the Son and One for the Holy Spirit. Well, once in a while I have One for myself. I have no plans to change. Uncle Tim

Honestly surprised. Had to double check and this isn't that far off. Other factors of course as alcohol contributes to adverse health in a lot of other ways depending on individual factors. They tried a diet Guinness but it failed miserably... sadly
