Like you I am a lover of wine. I developed my interest in wine in university when my friends would host wine and cheese parties, which were not only fun because of the new people I met but also because of all of the different types of wine I was exposed to. 
Easiest Way To Calculate The Alcohol Content Of Your Wine

Did you know that you can easily calculate the alcohol content of your beer or wine if you know your specific gravity (S.G.) readings at the beginning and end of the beer/wine making process?
To calculate the approximate value of the alcohol content in your beer/wine use the following formula:
Approximate Alcohol Content (%) =
Starting S.G.- Ending S.G.
0.0074
For example:
Starting SG = 1.090
Ending SG = 0.995
% Alcohol = 1.090 - 0.995 = 12.84
0.0074
> You can therefore say that the approximate alcohol content of this batch of wine is 12.84%
Note: This method assumes that difference in specific gravity is solely due to the conversion of sugar into alcohol
