Nutrition labeling of wine, beer, and spirits: a regulatory morass. My monthly (first Sunday) San Francisco Chronicle column deals with the quite astonishingly complex and consumer unfriendly rules for labeling alcohol beverages, in answer to this question: Q: I like to read nutritional information on the foods and beverages I consume.
Why is there no such information on alcoholic beverages? A: You want to know the alcohol, calories and ingredients in your wine, beer and liquor? Good luck. Some alcohol drinks label some of this, but so inconsistently that it’s hard to make sense of it. Remember Prohibition? Absurd as it may seem, the labeling rules differ for wine, beer and distilled spirits. Listing other ingredients is voluntary and some winemakers are placing ingredient lists on labels – mostly grapes, but sometimes oak products. Concentrate hard on what comes next. Wines from 7 to 14 percent must list alcohol and may list calories, unless they are labeled “light” or “table,” in which case they do not have to list either. I’m not done yet. What to do? GMO FOODS.

What we learned: The average daily caloric intake per capita in the United States is 3,754, while in Ethiopia, it is 1,858, and the recommended caloric intake for adult females is 2,000 calories per day. Since a Big Mac, large fries, and a large chocolate milkshake from McDonald's is well over 2,000, this will make us think twice next time we're at the drive-thru.
