Is the alcohol content of Italian table wine less than bottled wine?

That's a bit of a tricky question! There's no simple yes or no answer. Here's why:

* "Table Wine" is not a specific category: The term "table wine" is often used to refer to everyday wines, usually lower in price. It's not a legally defined term.

* Alcohol content is regulated: The alcohol content of wines is regulated by the country of origin. In Italy, wine typically has an alcohol content between 10% and 14%, but this can vary.

* Bottled vs. Unbottled: The container (bottle or not) doesn't directly affect alcohol content.

So, what's the takeaway?

* Don't assume: You can't make a direct comparison based on "table wine" vs. "bottled wine."

* Read the label: The most accurate way to know the alcohol content is to look at the label.

It's possible to find both high-alcohol and low-alcohol wines in both bottled and "table wine" categories.
