HI Mary – this isn’t our experience nor what the research tells us. The fermentation process helps to naturally preserve the wine and some prefer the taste of a wine that is aged a bit longer:)

I know it’s better because it’s organic and less preservatives etc… BUT Is there a risk that it contains more yeast or bacteria, especially over time (say if the bottled date is a few years ago)?? I obviously know nothing about wine — please help! Thanks!!

]]> By: Sedary https://healthygut.com/scd-legal-alcohol-part2/#comment-359688 http://scdlifestyle.com/?p=148#comment-359688 The official BreakingtheViciousCycle.info site states that wine bottlers are allowed to add cane sugar to their wines before bottling. THIS is why some wines are illegal. IF they contained only sugars from grapes, they would ALL be legal. You will just have to contact each company about their bottling practices. It is possible to get away with cheating on the diet after awhile but the true reason for the diet is not only to repair damage but to kill off the offending pathogens. Therefore, do NOT drink any wine to which cane sugar has been added.

They have several brands that would fall under the safe category and the neat thing is that one can go to there website and they list the nutritional facts for each bottle they create. My favorite wine of there is Big Bold Red and it has on only 2 carbohydrates per 5 ounce glass of wine. Here is there website http://www.discoveryellowtail.com/wine/big-bold-red.php

I’ve never seen anything that would suggest ABV could tell the amount of dryness of a wine.

]]> By: Brian https://healthygut.com/scd-legal-alcohol-part2/#comment-129325 http://scdlifestyle.com/?p=148#comment-129325 Someone just told me that any wine that is 12% ABV or more is considered dry. Would this be an appropriate guide when looking to an SCD legal wine?

Hi Hans – the very small amounts of sugars contained in fruits and honey are SCD legal. Its the man-made and processed stuff that is bad news.

]]> By: Hans Schuman https://healthygut.com/scd-legal-alcohol-part2/#comment-80730 http://scdlifestyle.com/?p=148#comment-80730 Hi – isn’t the sugar from grapes fructose which is SCD legal?

]]> By: Lisa https://healthygut.com/scd-legal-alcohol-part2/#comment-53425 http://scdlifestyle.com/?p=148#comment-53425 Interesting! I would have assumed that all Rieslings are too sweet to be legal. The “Late Harvest” Rieslings are called Spatlese and Auslese. They are very sweet.

If no other sweeteners have been added, then aren’t we just getting natural sugar from grapes? Wouldn’t that be a monosaccharide?

Thanks Sandy!

Hi Margaret,

Great question – I think it is best to wait until you really see some healing, or have a week or so of good poops. Listen to this podcast where I go more indepth on this very issue https://healthygut.com/the-scd-lifestyle-podcast-19-conquer-scd-like-a-mad-scientist/

]]> By: Margaret Stone https://healthygut.com/scd-legal-alcohol-part2/#comment-21025 http://scdlifestyle.com/?p=148#comment-21025 Hi,
I’m on week one of doing it right, with great results. This morning I had a regular poop with a little forse necessary.
Just reading this very useful articel on wines. At what point is it safe to add dry wines?

]]> By: Steven Wright https://healthygut.com/scd-legal-alcohol-part2/#comment-27 http://scdlifestyle.com/?p=148#comment-27 @ Terry – Great point I forgot about Malbec wines, personally I usually enjoy Malbecs more than Merlots.
