Look at the label on any bottle of wine, and you'll see how much alcohol it has. Except for some very rare examples, the law requires it.

I prefer wines with 13 percent or so. They appear to me to be better balanced. They work better with food and don’t intoxicate as fast. But most red wines these days are about 14.5 percent or more. Occasionally a lot more.
