Abstract:

Consumers awareness of the energy value of wines leads to a more conscious approach to the
wine products choice, considering the rational nutrition principles. Excessive consumption of
alcoholic beverages can pose a threat to the human health. The purpose of the research carried
out by the authors was to determine the energy value of different types of wines by an interna-
tional method developed by the International Association of official analytical chemists.
A man determined physical and chemical parameters in the wines: the volume fraction of ethyl
alcohol, the mass concentration of the reduced extract and sugars. The wine condition is a determining energy value factor: for table wines, this indicator is 59-158 kcal and increases from
dry to sweet, while the contribution of ethyl alcohol to the value of the indicator can reach
93.0 %; the energy value of liqueur wines varies in the range of 79-208 kcal. Carbohydrates,
represented by simple sugars, provide up to 45.0 % of the caloric content; differences in the
indicator for dry wines of the two groups range from 20.0 to 50.0 %. The researchers carried
out the systematization of liqueur wines depending on the type in order to increase energy
value: Sherry → Marsala → Madeira → Port wine → Сahors wine → Tokay → Muscat → Malaga.
