Strongest Wine Drinks

274 wine drinks tracked, averaging 4.8g carbs and 123 calories per serving. Wine's carbs track sweetness (a bone-dry wine can be nearly carb-free while a dessert wine is not), but calories track alcohol too - a higher-ABV dry wine can out-calorie a lower-ABV sweet one even with fewer carbs. Sorted by ABV (highest first), then score.

How To Use This Ranking

Use ABV as the first filter

This page is sorted to surface the strongest wine choices first. Start with the top ten, then compare score and calories.

Check serving size before you order

The current shortlist reaches a ceiling of 12.0% ABV, so confirm the pour size before treating a high-proof pick like a standard serving.

Cross-reference carbs separately

Strength and carbs move independently, so a high-ABV pick is not automatically low-carb. This shortlist still averages 3.5g carbs per 5 oz serving.
