Household Ingredients Compared › Wine (Singapore)

Wine: what's actually in it?

Wine is the thinnest ingredient list in this project: most wine labels do not print a full ingredient list at all. What they do print is the grape variety, the country/region of origin, the ABV, and the allergen statement "contains sulphites" (sulphur dioxide). That is what this page panels — the grape and the sulphite statement, exactly as the source gives them, with the source flagged. It does not invent a recipe for a wine, and it does not present tasting notes as ingredients. Red, white and rosé are kept as separate groups, and vintages are not treated as separate products unless the list differs.

This page does not give a health score or a "best" pick. It shows the ingredient list as printed and flags what to notice.

The headline, in 30 seconds

Every panelled wine is grapes plus sulphites. Yellow Tail Shiraz is Shiraz grapes, contains sulphur dioxide/sulphites; Yellow Tail Cabernet Sauvignon is Cabernet Sauvignon, contains sulphites; Bread & Butter Cabernet Sauvignon is Cabernet Sauvignon, contains sulphur dioxide/sulphites. No other ingredient is printed on the sources checked.
Blends are stated as percentages where the source gives them. Gato Negro Cabernet Sauvignon is 95% Cabernet Sauvignon with 5% Syrah (per a retailer listing); Sula Shiraz is 85% Shiraz and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. Those are varietal compositions, not full ingredient lists, and are flagged as such.
All five panels are flagged non-SG lists. No FairPrice ingredient section was retrieved for any wine in this pass — the panels rest on UK/US retailer listings (Tesco, OneStop, Ocado, Publix). The SG bottle must be checked before publish, because the same brand can be bottled in different countries with a different label.
ABV is quoted only where the source states it. Yellow Tail Shiraz 13.5%, Yellow Tail Jammy Red Roo 12%, Gato Negro Cabernet Sauvignon 13%, Jacob's Creek Reserve Shiraz 13.8%. Where a source did not state ABV, this page says so.
Nutrition is mostly not printed for wine. No per-100 ml nutrition panel was verified for any panelled wine, so there is no sortable nutrition table on this page — the grape and sulphite panels are the comparison for this pass.

Panelled with verbatim lists: 5 products. Seen-but-not-verified: see the list below. No prices are shown here: they change weekly and would go stale. This site compares ingredients only.

Yellow Tail Shiraz — flagged UK listing

Pack size: 750 ml · Made in: Australia (as printed)

Ingredients (OneStop (UK retailer) — NOT an SG pack list): Shiraz. Contains Sulphur Dioxide/Sulphites. Alcohol By Volume: 13.5.

The retailer's specification sheet for the same product lists the "ingredients" field as a tasting description ("juicy red berries with hints of vanilla and spice") — that is not an ingredient list, and it is not quoted here as one. The panel is the grape variety plus the sulphite statement, as the retailer lists them. Suitable for vegans, per the listing. Red wine ABV 13.5% (UK listing) UK list — verify SG pack

Yellow Tail Cabernet Sauvignon — flagged UK listing

Pack size: 750 ml · Made in: Australia (as printed)

Ingredients (Tesco (UK retailer) — NOT an SG pack list): Cabernet Sauvignon. Contains Sulphites.

Tesco lists the grape variety as Cabernet Sauvignon and the allergy information as "Contains Sulphites", with Casella Family Brands Ltd as producer. No ABV was stated in the retrieved listing, so none is quoted here. The SG bottle must be checked before publish. Red wine UK list — verify SG pack

Bread & Butter Cabernet Sauvignon — flagged UK listing

Pack size: 750 ml · Made in: United States (California) (as printed)

Ingredients (Ocado (UK retailer) — NOT an SG pack list): Cabernet Sauvignon. Contains Sulphur Dioxide/Sulphites.

One grape, one allergen statement — the whole panel. No ABV was stated in the retrieved listing, so none is quoted. The SG bottle must be checked before publish. Red wine UK list — verify SG pack

Jacob's Creek Reserve Shiraz — flagged US listing

Pack size: 750 ml · Made in: Australia (as printed)

Ingredients (Publix (US retailer) — NOT an SG pack list): Shiraz. Contains sulfites. 13.8% alcohol by volume.

The listing also gives technical figures (5.9 g/L total acid, 3.58 pH, 4.5 g/L residual sugar as "G/F") — those are wine-analysis figures, not nutrition, and are quoted here only as printed in the note, not tabled as nutrition. The SG bottle must be checked before publish. Red wine ABV 13.8% (US listing) US list — verify SG pack

Gato Negro Cabernet Sauvignon — flagged varietal composition, not a pack list

Pack size: 750 ml · Made in: Chile (as printed)

Ingredients (Liquor Barn / Tallink (retailers) — varietal composition, NOT a pack ingredient list): Cabernet Sauvignon 95%, Syrah 5%. Alcohol 13% vol. (Tallink lists the same product as Cabernet Sauvignon with sugar level 4 g/l.)

No ingredient list was retrieved for this wine — the panel is the retailer's stated blend composition (95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Syrah). A second retailer describes the same wine as "monovarietal, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon", which conflicts with the 95/5 blend — the conflict is stated here, not resolved, and the SG bottle must settle it. Do not read either figure as a verified pack list. Red wine Blend conflict flagged ABV 13%

Seen but not verified — do not panel until checked

Yellow Tail — other varietals (Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Rosé, Jammy Red Roo) — Jammy Red Roo is described as Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, contains sulfites, 12% ABV (Publix US listing); the other varietals had no retrieved ingredient or grape-variety panel in this pass. Each varietal is a separate row when panelled.
Jacob's Creek — other varietals (Classic Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Moscato, Sparkling) — Only the Reserve Shiraz had a retrieved grape/sulphite panel; the Classic range had no retrieved list.
Gato Negro — other varietals (Merlot, Carmenère, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Rosé) — Only the Cabernet Sauvignon blend composition was retrieved; other varietals need their own panels.
Concha y Toro Frontera / Casillero del Diablo, Santa Carolina, 19 Crimes, Penfolds Koonunga Hill, Lindeman's, Wolf Blass, McGuigan, Hardys, Echo Falls, Barefoot — Major SG-sold wine brands with no retrieved SG ingredient or grape-variety panel in this pass. Their SG bottles need pack checks.
Champagne / sparkling wine / prosecco / cava — Different product type (sparkling wine); no SG pack lists retrieved in this pass. Not panelled here — noted so it is not mistaken for a missing still-wine row.
FairPrice, Cold Storage, Giant, Sheng Siong, Don Don Donki, Mustafa, Meidi-Ya, Le Petit Depot, RedMart, Lazada and Shopee wine ranges — Checked only through the search results above in this pass; no FairPrice ingredient section was retrieved for any wine, and the full wine shelves were not paginated in full. Cold Storage publishes no ingredient list on any product page.

Nutrition — what the numbers say

All figures in the table are as sold, per 100 g or per 100 ml unless the Basis column says otherwise. Click a column header to sort low to high; click again for high to low. Rows marked "not stated" always sort last — a dash is missing data, not zero. Per-serving-only figures are in a separate table below and are never sorted against per-100 figures, and are never converted to per-100 by guessing.

Salt and sodium: salt = sodium × 2.5. The table shows sodium as printed (in mg) with the salt equivalent in brackets. Sodium is not presented as salt, and salt is not presented as sodium. Where a source printed salt only, the sodium figure is the arithmetic conversion (salt ÷ 2.5) and is flagged as converted.

Total vs added sugars: most Singapore packs list total sugars, not added sugars. A total-sugars figure is never labelled here as "added sugar". Where a source states an added-sugars figure separately, it is noted. The ingredient list remains the evidence for added sugar (sugar, sucrose, glucose syrup) versus naturally occurring sugars.

Open Food Facts is a community database and is flagged as secondary where used: the pack and the retailer nutrition section take precedence if they disagree. Figures marked "not stated" were not in the source retrieved; they are not estimated, borrowed from another variant, or copied across flavours.

No per-100 g/ml nutrition panel was verified in this pass for any panelled product, so there is no sortable nutrition table on this page yet. The ingredient panels are the comparison for this pass; figures are not estimated here.

Seen but not verified (nutrition): no per-100 ml nutrition panel was verified in this pass for any panelled wine. Wine labels in Singapore do not generally print a nutrition panel; the Jacob's Creek technical figures (5.9 g/L total acid, 4.5 g/L residual sugar) are wine-analysis figures quoted in that product's note, not nutrition, and are not tabled.

How to read a wine label — the jargon, in plain English

Sulphites / sulphur dioxide: A preservative used in almost all wine, declared as "contains sulphites" / "contains sulphur dioxide". It is the one allergen statement printed on nearly every wine label.
Grape variety (varietal): The grape(s) the wine is made from — Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and so on. A wine named for one grape may still be a blend; check the stated percentages.
ABV: Alcohol by volume, as printed. Quoted here only where the source states it; a missing ABV is stated as missing, not guessed from another market's listing.
Blend vs monovarietal: A blend mixes grape varieties (e.g. 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Syrah); a monovarietal wine is made from one variety. The Gato Negro panel shows why the distinction needs a pack check — two retailers disagree on it.
Residual sugar (g/L): Sugar left after fermentation, sometimes printed in wine technical data (e.g. 4.5 g/L for Jacob's Creek Reserve Shiraz). It is not the same as the "sugars" column on a nutrition panel.
Vintage: The year the grapes were harvested. The same wine in different vintages is the same product for this page unless its list differs.

What this page is not

Not a health score, and not a "best" pick. The groups on this page are different products, and this page does not rank them.
Not a taste test, and not a price comparison. Prices change weekly; ingredients change less often, but still change.
Not complete. The products in seen-but-not-verified are not yet panelled, for the verification reasons given, not hidden. No page claims 100% completeness.

Sources and method

Checked 12 November 2026 from: UK retailer listings (OneStop — Yellow Tail Shiraz; Tesco — Yellow Tail Cabernet Sauvignon; Ocado — Bread & Butter Cabernet Sauvignon; all flagged non-SG); US retailer listings (Publix — Jacob's Creek Reserve Shiraz, Yellow Tail Jammy Red Roo; Liquor Barn and Tallink — Gato Negro Cabernet Sauvignon blend composition, flagged); NEXT specification sheet for Yellow Tail Shiraz (tasting description in the ingredients field — noted, not quoted as a list). No FairPrice ingredient section was retrieved for any wine in this pass. Full per-fact source list is in the accompanying research notes. Where a full pack list could not be verified, the product is in seen-but-not-verified instead of being panelled.
