Innovative wineries have perfected the art of decreasing the amount of alcohol in their wines, while still maintaining exceptional flavours and aromas. Look for bottles that list 0.5 to 9% alcohol by volume (ABV) on their labels.
Here’s a handy fact: if you’re interested in a low-sugar wine (5 g of sugar or less per litre), look for one from a country or region with cool climates or vineyards at high altitudes. Those conditions tend to yield grapes that are naturally lower in sugar.
You’ll find the ABV (for alcohol content) and g/L (for sugar content) listed right on the lcbo.com website description or store shelf label.
