Is a glass of sherry a day good for you? A small glass of sherry 3 to 4 ounces per day may have some benefits like relaxation and antioxidants, but also risks due to alcohol content 15 to 20 percent, with sherry being fortified wine with higher alcohol than table wine, so daily sherry may increase calorie intake and liver risk if overconsumed, with moderation key, with health guidelines recommending no more than one drink per day for women and two for men. Sherry contains antioxidants from grapes and may have heart benefits similar to red wine in small amounts, with fino sherry being dry with low sugar, but sherry also contains alcohol which in excess causes liver disease, weight gain, and addiction, with 3 ounces sherry having about 70 to 90 calories and 10 to 15 grams alcohol. So is a glass of sherry a day good for you? In moderation, one small glass 3 ounces of dry sherry occasionally may be okay for healthy adults, but daily may not be recommended for everyone, with benefits minimal compared to risks, with doctors advising limited alcohol, with sherry being high alcohol fortified wine, so daily consumption may increase risk of liver disease and dependence, with better to drink occasionally not daily, with dry sherry better than sweet cream sherry which has high sugar 10 grams per glass, with moderation and consulting doctor important, with no alcohol being healthiest.
