Density 29 · +0 vs Beverages median

Rose wine scores 29 of 100 on the Nutrient Density Score, placing it in the Low band and ranking 28 of 60 in the Beverages category. As an alcoholic beverage, it carries no standout vitamin or mineral contributions in this scoring, reflecting its role as a fermented grape beverage rather than a nutrient source.

It is typically served chilled in a glass alongside a meal or on its own, with 30 grams, roughly one fluid ounce, used as the reference serving here. Its sugar and sodium are both low, at 3.8 g and 5 mg per 100 g respectively, though at 83 calories per 100 g the calories still add up across a full glass, and alcohol itself contributes no nutrients worth noting.

In the kitchen and how to use it

Rose wine is made by giving red grape skins brief contact with the juice before pressing, producing a pink-hued wine that sits stylistically between a red and a white. It's served chilled in a standard wine glass, poured as an aperitif or alongside lighter fare such as salads, grilled fish, charcuterie, or summer picnics, and its dry-to-off-dry profile and light body make it a versatile pour for warm-weather meals and casual gatherings.

Store unopened bottles lying on their side in a cool, dark spot to keep the cork from drying out, and once opened, recork and refrigerate the bottle, aiming to finish it within a few days as the flavor fades with air exposure. Per 100 g, rose wine carries 83 calories, 3.8 g sugar, and 3.8 g carbohydrate, with sodium at just 5 mg per 100 g, so among alcoholic drinks it reads as a lower-sugar, low-sodium pour rather than a low-calorie one. A standard fl oz serving in this data is 30 g, though the calories still add up across a full glass or bottle.
