Depends.

Most still red wines (Cabernet, Merlot, etc.) have 0 grams of sugar per liter (g/l).

However, fortified red wines (dessert wines, port, etc.) have residual sugar, from 110g/l to 220g/l.

In comparison, most grocery store Riesling has about 10g/l of sugar.

Can diabetics drink red wine?

I'm sorry but I really think you should research your answer before putting it up here. If a diabetic with type 2 is going to drink alcohol at all - red wine is better and always with food NOT wine wine as you suggested here. 'It is best for diabetics to drink white wine and not red, because the red has more sugars in it than white wine. White wine also goes better with fish which is also good for diabetics to eat.'
