Effects of White Wine Consumption on Weight in Rats: Do Polyphenols Matter?

Table 1

Caloric value, ethanol, and phenolic content of the tested white wines.

	Ethanol content	Caloric value	Total phenolics	Flavonoids	Nonflavonoids
	vol % (g/L)	kJ/mL	mg GAE/L	mg GAE/L	mg GAE/L
Standard wine	13.0 (102.3)	3.04	305 ± 3	3	302 ± 2
Polyphenol-rich wine	13.3 (105)	3.12	2850 ± 35	2477	373 ± 3

Caloric value of tested wines is calculated as the product of ethanol concentration and caloric value of alcohol (29.7 kJ/g). Data on phenolic content are averages of at least three independent measurements and are shown as mean ± SD. Concentration of flavonoids is calculated as the difference between mean concentration of total phenolics and nonflavonoids and is expressed without SD; GAE: gallic acid equivalents; , Student’s t-test.
