Wine spritzers are a lower-impact alcohol option for gout due to dilution but still carry risks from ethanol.

Added by vblinden

Good
  • Diluting wine with sparkling water reduces the amount of alcohol and any natural sugars consumed per serving compared to straight wine, and wine has fewer purines than beer.
Bad
  • Any alcohol impairs kidney excretion of uric acid, potentially raising levels and triggering flares, even if the spritzer is less risky than beer or sugary drinks.
