Protein

• Fruit is not generally considered to be a protein source. Therefore, the lack of protein in a 5-oz.serving of Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay is none. Five oz. is the so-called "normal" serving size for wine, which is barely more than 1/4 cup of liquid.

Carbohydrates

• Carbohydrates are the nutritional elements that metabolize in the blood as glucose. The inherent sugar content in wine grapes is the most prominent source of carbohydrates in white wine. The relative tartness of the chardonnay grape makes Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay extremely low in carbohydrates, a mere 3.01g per serving, which equals just 1 percent of the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI).

Fats

• Grapes are a prototypical low-fat food. If your dietary concerns are based on fat considerations, as is the case for cardiac patients, grapes can be considered an unlimited food. This also applies to Kendall-Jackson chardonnay. The lack of alcohol content in the wine also makes it a good taste alternative for any diet regimen.

Vitamins and Minerals

• The vitamins listed on the Nutritional Facts label are vitamin C, vitamin A, calcium and iron. In all these cases, the nutrient value of Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay is none, or zero. This is not a bad thing; for any type of diet, one serving can replace any diet soda, providing a source of variety for your palate.

Clinical Proof

• A 2004 study by M. Flechtner-Mors and colleagues that was published in the "International Journal of Obesity and Related Metabolic Disorders" found that abstention from alcohol made no difference in weight loss. The study participants who drank moderate amounts of white wine while following a calorie-restricted diet lost the same amount of weight as those who drank grape juice on the same diet.
