Eeeh, it is like you first need to distinguish degrees proof and Alcohol by volume...

Alcohol proof is a measure of the content of ethanol (alcohol) in an alcoholic beverage. The term was originally used in England and was equal to about 1.821 times the percentage alcohol by volume (ABV).[citation needed] The UK now uses the ABV standard instead of alcohol proof. In the United States, alcohol proof is defined as twice the percentage of ABV.

The measurement of alcohol content and the statement of content on bottles of alcoholic beverages is regulated by law in many countries.

And then...

Wine Alcohol Content
White wine generally is on average 10% ABV; however, it can range from as little as 5% to as much as 14%. Moscato white wines have less alcohol, at 5-7%, while pinot grigio wines may contain 12-13% alcohol, and chardonnay may have 13-14.5%. Red wine has more alcohol, ranging from 12% to 15%
