My first response accidently went only to Mike, not to the list. A little Googling shows it is sold in a 750 mL bottle and is 5.5% ABV 1/4 of a bottle is 187.5 mL, the real serving size; the 60 fl oz is rounded. I am pretty sure it is supposed to be 185 g and Occam's razor scratched off the "1". At least that is the simplest explanation.

To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, October 4, 2011, 3:52 PM I assume the alcohol by volume is relatively low (wine diluted by fruit juice). Also it contains unfermented sugar. The sugar would contribute to SG being higher than water, the alcohol to being lower. SG is probably fairly close to 1, plus or minus. They might have omitted a digit in printing (185 g) or made some other error. 8 g of carbs is only 32 calories, leaving 68 calories (roughly 10 g) of alcohol. Do they declare ABV on the front label? I get roughly 6.7% ABV from my crude numbers. --- On Tue, 10/4/11, Michael Payne <[email protected]> wrote: From: Michael Payne <[email protected]> Subject: [USMA:51194] Suspect Nutrition data?

A direct conversion of fluid ounces would have been 177 ml or the same in grams if it were water, so something is wrong with this picture. Alcohol has a relative density of 0,8 so the true conversion from 177 ml to grams would be around 141,6 grams. Mike Payne
