White Wine

Also listed as: Wine, white, dry

White Wine is higher risk. Keep portions small and occasional, especially during a flare. A typical 240 g serving has about 5 mg of purines, about 1% of a ~400 mg working daily target.

Units

A typical serving is about 240 g, which delivers 5 mg of purines, or about 1% of a ~400 mg working daily target.

Even a large serving stays well within a ~400 mg working daily purine target.

Only part of these purines counts toward gout: the 5 mg here counts as roughly 2 mg toward your gout risk.

Portion size is what matters most here, and it’s easy to misjudge by eye. A kitchen scale makes it simple.

Why grade D

Higher risk. Keep portions small and occasional, especially during a flare.

Alcohol raises uric acid and slows how your kidneys clear it. It is an independent gout trigger regardless of purine content.

Good to know: Wine has low purines; ethanol still inhibits urate excretion.

Make it safer

If you want a drink without the flare risk, these grade well and skip the alcohol.
