Alcoholic Beverage, Wine, Table, Red, Mouvedre: Ounces (oz) to Grams Conversion
Mourvèdre (also spelled Monastrell or Mataro) is a full-bodied, dark-fruited red wine grape with high tannins, moderate acidity, and often a meaty, earthy character. As a table wine it has a density of 0.994 g/ml—essentially the same as water for practical conversion purposes. A cup weighs approximately 235 g; a tablespoon weighs about 14.7 g. The near-water density is typical of all dry table wines regardless of variety; alcohol (less dense than water) and dissolved sugars (denser) roughly cancel out in dry wine. In cooking, Mourvèdre is used in braises, stews, and red sauces where its tannic grip and robust flavor hold up to long cooking times. Any full-bodied dry red wine can be substituted by weight without changing recipe hydration.

FAQ
- Does the type of red wine affect its gram weight per cup?
- Very little. All dry table wines cluster around 0.990–1.000 g/ml because the density reduction from ethanol (~0.789 g/ml) is roughly offset by dissolved sugars, acids, and minerals. The difference between a light Pinot Noir and a full-bodied Mourvèdre is under 5 g per cup—negligible for any cooking purpose.
- How many grams is 100 ml of Mourvèdre wine?
- At 0.994 g/ml, 100 ml of Mourvèdre table wine weighs approximately 99.4 g—essentially 100 g for practical purposes. Round to 100 g/100 ml for any recipe calculation involving this wine.
- Can I substitute a different red wine variety and use the same gram conversion?
- Yes. All dry red table wines have densities within 1% of each other (roughly 0.990–1.000 g/ml), so the gram conversion from this page applies to Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Grenache, Malbec, or any other dry red with no meaningful error.
