Best Answer

The intoxicating effect of alcohol is based on alcohol content measured as a percentage of volume. The higher the percentage of alcohol the stronger the beverage and more intoxicating compared to the same volume of lower percentage beverage.

In the case of most wine and beer, wine often has more alcohol by volume than beer.
