I found this on the Wine Spectator site:
"Q: Could you tell me how Port, Tawny Port, and Cabernet Sauvignon compare as far as sugar content goes? -Martin
A: Each wine is going to vary a bit from producer to producer, but here is some general data from the USDA nutrient database: "red table wine", a category which includes Burgundy, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, contains .62 g of sugar per 100 g of wine (.91 g per 5 oz. serving), while "sweet dessert wine", a category which includes marsala, port and Madeira, contains 7.78g of sugar per 100g of wine (4.6 g of sugar per 2 oz. serving). For more information on styles of port..."
A sweet white wine has the most sugar content. It has about 16grams of sugar. A red wine has no sugar.
Desset wines have the highest sugar content. This would include wines such as Port, Muscat, and Sherry as well as other late-harvest wines. The color and the sugar content are not connected.
A red wine that is sweet and not dry is typically a dessert wine, such as a Port or a Lambrusco. These wines have a higher residual sugar content, giving them a sweeter taste compared to dry red wines.
Red wine typically has an alcohol content ranging from 12 to 15.
