Participants were randomized to view a wine product in one of four conditions: (1) control (no label), (2) Nutrition Facts table (NFT), (3) textual nutrition information, (4) Alcohol Facts table, and were asked "How healthy would it be to drink this wine regularly?" (7-point Likert-type item, very unhealthy to very healthy). Logistic regression compared the likelihood of rating the product as "a little healthy/healthy/very healthy" between conditions.RESULTS: Compared to the control (16.5 %), those in the NFT condition had higher odds of rating the product as "a little healthy/healthy/very healthy" (28.3 %, AOR = 1.97, 95 %CI,1.57,2.47), as did those in the textual nutrition information condition (23.8 %, AOR = 1.60, 95 %CI,1.27,2.02). There were no differences between the control condition and the Alcohol Facts table condition (18.8 %).CONCLUSIONS: Nutritional information on alcohol products may lead consumers to falsely believe products are 'healthier'. Label design and features that make alcohol products distinct from non-alcoholic food and beverages may reduce unintended impacts.PMID:41308701 | DOI:10.1016/j.ypmed.2025.108475
