America's number one selling white wine is chardonnay and Kendall Jackson is one of the top selling wine brands in the USA. This makes this particular wine extremely popular.

In a 5oz (125ml) glass of Kendall Jackson chardonnay the total percentage of sugar is 0.5%. This is considerably low for a glass of wine and is mainly due to Kendall Jackson chardonnay's lower alcohol content in comparison to other white wines.
Other statistics for a 125ml glass of Kendall Jackson chardonnay are;

  • 0% fat
  • 0% protein
It is not compulsory to include nutritional information on a bottle of wine. It is, however, compulsory to show the alcoholic volume of the beverage by % on the label.

The sweetness of this wine comes from the carbohydrates that have not turned to sugars within the chardonnay. These carbohydrates come from the grapes that are used in making the wine. The particular chardonnay grapes have lower carbohydrates that can in turn change to sugars, this is also the reason for the lower alcohol % as alcohol is derived from the sugars in the wine.

The guidelines for assessing whether a food or drink has a high or low sugar content is that below 5% is low sugar, between 5% and 15% is average and anything above 15% is said to have a high sugar content.

To lower your sugar intake you can try to consume low sugar variation of the food and drinks. Having too much sugar in your diet can result in health problems such as diabetes and high sugar food and drink should be consumed in moderation.
