there is so little difference that it is seldom even considered in normal applications. However, if you are dealing in very large quantities, you will find that sweeter wine is heavier and drier wine is lighter than water.

No, wine is not heavier than water. Both wine and water have a density very close to 1 g/cm³, meaning they have the same weight per unit volume.
Millilitres equal grams of weight with water only....so in a cheffing situation for water, wine, vinegar etc. you could use a direct conversion....it's only when you use liquids that are heavier than water like oil that it makes a difference.....I hope this makes sense.

The MASS of 1 liter of wine is slightly less than 1 kilogram. By definition, a liter of water (under certain assumptions about temperature and pressure) is exactly equal to 1 kilogram of mass. Wine is a mixture of mostly water, along with some alcohol, and minute quantities of other substances. Because water is the primary component, one would expect the mass of wine to be very close to that of water. But alcohol is somewhat less dense than water, so that part of the mixture has less weight than if it too was water. Therefore, because of the alchohol component of wine, the total density of wine must be slightly less than water, and therefore the mass of a given volume of wine will be slightly less than that of an identical volume of water.
The alcohol by volume percentage in this wine is 13.5.
Table wine usually has anywhere between 7 and 15% alcohol by volume, and fortified wine has between 15 and 22% alcohol by volume.
The alcohol by volume percentage in red wine typically ranges from 12 to 15.
1.5 liter of water weighs 52.91094 ounces. Water I said. Wine is more than water. 64 ounces are in a magnum 1.5 liter has a volume of 50.72103305 fluid ounces.
The average alcohol by volume (ABV) of red wine is typically around 13-15.
The alcohol content of a 5.5 wine is 5.5 by volume.
The typical alcohol by volume (ABV) range for normal wine is between 11 and 14.
You cannot calculate the density of a complex fluid like the mix of water, ethanol and sugar by a simple weighted average. Here are some estimations. The density of wine is close to that of water, dry wine is less, sweet wine is higher. Water has a density of 1.000 Kg/L Ethanol has a density of 0.789 Kg/L Sugar has a density of 1.587 Kg/L So wine with 13% alcohol by volume and 0.5% sugar by volume has a density of 0.13*789 + 0.005*1587 + 0.865*1000 = 975.5 Kg/L
Specific gravity of dry wine is less than water, therefore 750ml of wine weighs 745g. (Alcohol is lighter than water). Sweet wines weigh slightly heavier because of the sugar content dissolved in the wine.
