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.
Table wine usually has anywhere between 7 and 15% alcohol by volume, and fortified wine has between 15 and 22% alcohol by volume.
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.
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.

Wine to Water was created in 2003.

You can use equal parts dry sherry/pale sherry wine; not the cooking wine... the drinking wine. :)
In 2010, France and Italy were the top wine producers by volume. Each country produced over 4,500,000 liters.
