This question does not really contain enough information to be properly answered. We don't know the percentage of other ingredients (mainly sugar is important) in the bottle. The density of alcohol is less than water and the density of sugar is more than water. In the end, a good bottle of wine should have a density close to that of water. With a density slightly less than water it tends to be a dry wine, and with a density slightly greater it tends to be a sweeter wine (which makes sense since sugar is heavier than water, so a greater weight implies more sugar.)
To attempt to answer your question we must make some assumptions about water and sugar content. On this website [1] the author claims that dry wine has a sugar percentage of about 0.25% and a sweet wine can be as high as around 0.9-1.1%. We'll use the author's example of Yellow Tail Merlot which has 0.5% sugar.
dH20 - density of water is 1000 grams/liter
dEthanol - density of ethanol is 789 grams/liter
dSugar - density of sucrose (the sugar in wine) is 1587 grams/liter
If the wine is 13% alcohol and 0.5% sugar, then the water content is 86.5% water.
Therefore:
.13*789+.005*1587+.865*1000 = 975.5 grams/liter
so that would be a rough estimate of your density. I can't make any claims as to how realistic this value is; wine contains many other ingredients that will impact the density, but now you can at least calculate a rough estimate for yourself, if you can figure out the sugar content for your specific wine.
An important note:
The wine industry doesn't use density; they use specific gravity. The specific gravity of a liquid or solid is the ratio of the density of the liquid or solid to the density of liquid water:
Specific Gravity = density of Material X / density of H2O
Specific gravity is technically unitless, but some people create units for it anyways. Check out wikipedia for more details.

What else can I help you with?
How many grams of ethanol are in a 0.7 liter bottle of wine?
Assuming 12% alcohol content in wine, there would be 84 grams of ethanol in a 0.7 liter bottle of wine. This is calculated by multiplying the volume of wine by the alcohol content percentage and the density of ethanol.
How much ethanol is in a typical bottle of wine?
A typical bottle of wine is about 10% alcohol. There are different types of wine with all different amounts of ethanol, but a typical bottle of wine is 10% alcohol.
What is the alcohol content of a bottle of wine labeled as containing 15 percent wine?
The alcohol content of a bottle of wine labeled as containing 15 percent wine is 15.
A bottle of wine states that it is 11.5 alcohol What is the approxmate density of this wine?
You cannot calculate the density of a complex fluid like the mix of water, ethanol and sugar by a simple weighted average. Here are some estimations. The density of wine is close to that of water, dry wine is less, sweet wine is higher. Water has a density of 1.000 Kg/L Ethanol has a density of 0.789 Kg/L Sugar has a density of 1.587 Kg/L So wine with 13% alcohol by volume and 0.5% sugar by volume has a density of 0.13*789 + 0.005*1587 + 0.865*1000 = 975.5 Kg/L
What is the recommended serving size for a bottle of wine with 16 percent alcohol content?
The recommended serving size for a bottle of wine with 16 percent alcohol content is about 5 ounces.
How much percentage of ethanol is there in wine?
usually 9 to 13 percent by volume. 11.5 percent is average. fortified wines are higher. alcohol by volume times 0.8 equals alcohol by volume.
2 drinks of wine will it show up in a urine test the next day?
A serving of wine is five ounces of 13-percent-alcohol wine. If that's what you mean by a drink, you'll be fine. OTOH, if a "drink" of wine is a whole bottle of Cisco (18-percent alcohol--a 12-ounce bottle contains about two ounces of alcohol) you would NOT be fine the next day.
How many cm3 of ethanol per liter does wine contain?
Ordinary (non-fortified) wine will contain around 130 cm^3 of ethanol.
How long does a open bottle of wine last if you put a spoon in it?
A bottle of an opened white wine is OK for about a week. A bottle of an opened red wine can last about a month. How do you put a spoon in a wine bottle?
Has your wine cork disintegrated, causing any issues with your bottle of wine?
No, the wine cork has not disintegrated and there are no issues with the bottle of wine.
Can you explain why there is beer in a wine bottle"?
Beer is not typically found in a wine bottle. If beer is in a wine bottle, it may be due to a mistake in packaging or labeling.
How many calories in a bottle of moscato wine 7 percent alcohol?
Primarily, the alcohol level. A four ounce glass of wine at 12 percent alcohol has about 120 calories; the same size with a wine 14 percent alcohol has about 140-160 calories; a 16 percent alcohol wine, about 160-190 calories.
