This is why alcohol contains lots of calories – 7 calories per gram, which is almost as many as a gram of fat. Plus, additional calories can be in added mixer drinks, such as cola or tonic water. Purewine has been invented and developed by winemaker James Pennington BSc BApp Sc to allow wine consumers to enjoy wine without preservatives. James spent his early years as a science teacher but always wanted to use this knowledge in a practical way. He began in the wine industry over 30 years ago, starting off developing vineyards and ending up as a qualified winemaker. During this time he became aware of the many problems that people had when enjoying a wine and set himself the task of finding a solution. It takes an average adult around an hour to process one unit of alcohol so that there's none left in their bloodstream, although this varies from person to person. And the more you drink, the longer it takes – so, six units of alcohol would take the average person six hours to process. For example, wine that says "12% ABV" or "alcohol volume 12%" means 12% of the volume of that drink is pure alcohol.
For example, a pint of strong lager contains 3 units of alcohol, whereas the same volume of lower-strength lager has just over 2 units. Finally the bottling stage – chances are the wine is poor quality as it has been made from cheap low grade fruit. It will be very low in natural antioxidants so will need extra preservatives added – yet more huge doses of sulphites. A lot of wine is bottled in the UK to save a few pence on transport so is brought over here in inflatable bladders inside tankers, much like oil. These bladders are permeable and let in the air so huge amounts of sulphites are added so the wine will withstand the journey. If you drink at home, a good way to avoid accidentally pouring too much and limit how many units of alcohol you have is with a measuring cup. Get one from the Drinkaware shop today. Regularly having just one or two heavy drinking episodes a week will increase your risk of death from long-term illness and from accidents and injuries. 1

As an example, a pint of average strength beer (4% ‘alcohol by volume’, or ABV – see below for explanation) has about two units in it, while a single measure (25ml) of typical spirits is one unit. Unfortunately that is not the case and wine is one of the most controversial of all food stuffs when it comes to additives – it is just about the only food or beverage on the market that doesn’t have to list it’s ingredients on the label – have you ever wondered why? The (EU) authorities explain it away by saying “it’s complicated”– wine production is huge business in the founding EU countries of course. But they don’t tell you the reason why it’s complicated – that somewhere around 60 different additives are permitted in mainstream wines and over 40 are now permitted in EU Certified Organic wines. If these factory produced wines stated their ingredients on the label the chances are the vast majority of people would never buy another bottle again. We're supposed to be keeping an eye on how much we drink, but how many of us really know what a unit of alcohol is? Pubs and bars used to commonly serve spirits (like vodka, gin, rum or whisky) in 25ml measures - that’s about one unit of alcohol per measure. But these days many pubs and bars have switched to 35ml or 50ml measures – meaning you might be having a lot more alcohol without realising. Understanding how many units of alcohol you drink is a great first step to looking after your health. But what is a unit, and what does it mean? What is an alcohol unit?
We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return. The UK’s Chief Medical Officers advise that, if you choose to drink, it’s safest to drink no more than 14 units a week (for both men and women). It’s also important to spread any drinking over three or more days, with several drink-free days and no bingeing. One unit equals 10ml or 8g of pure alcohol, which is around the amount of alcohol the average adult can process in an hour.
Shipping Method
Have a glass of water after every alcoholic drink – this will help to prevent you becoming dehydrated.
