Red wine has negligible purines but its alcohol content can raise gout risk in a dose-dependent manner, with light intake sometimes showing modest protective effects.

Your feedback
Good for you

Light to moderate consumption may offer a modest protective effect in some studies due to polyphenols and antioxidants, and it lacks the high purines or fructose found in beer or sugary drinks.

Bad for you

The ethanol in red wine increases uric acid production in the liver, reduces renal excretion of uric acid, and promotes dehydration, which can trigger flares especially with heavier intake.
