February 18 is National Wine Day

(KYMA, KECY/CBS) - New research was recently completed in time for National Drink Wine Day on February 18.

A study from Britain was conducted about which wine has more than the daily recommended sugar limit.

The answer: two glasses of wine.

"I think for a lot of people, they think of alcoholic beverages as kind of, you know, not counting or not really thinking about what's in it," said Registered Dietician Alissa Rumsey.

Britain's Alcohol Health Alliance discovered a single bottle of wine could have as much as 60 grams of sugar, more than a glazed donut.

"High sugar intake over the long term is associated with an increased risk of certain diseases like cardiovascular disease and diabetes," explained Rumsey.
