White Table Wine: Complete Vitamin Profile

White Table Wine: Considered a good source of vitamins?

White table wine is not a good source of vitamins. This is because the fermentation process of making wine removes any glycerin, which may contain some vitamins; additionally, most grapes used for white wines are low in vitamin content or have already experienced some loss of water-soluble vitamins during pre-processing. Any beneficial compounds present in the grape skins are removed during processing and as such, few beneficial compounds remain in finished white wines. Additionally, when sulfur dioxide (added to wine to help maintain freshness) is added to white wines, much of the valuable antioxidants that would normally be found in red wines can be removed; this results in conversion of healthy compounds into unhealthy products.

In short, while some white wines may contain small amounts of vitamins from residual sources, they cannot be classified as a good source of these essential nutrients. Better alternatives include consuming foods rich in antioxidents such as fruits and vegetables and using nutritional supplements where necessary.
