You can expect most cases of wine to weigh around 35 pounds (16 kg). This would be for a standard case of 12 bottles (25 oz / 750 mL each). Each wine bottle weighs about 3 pounds each.
Heavy glass bottles typically account for over 50% of total weight of a wine bottle. In addition, the packing materials and box add to the weight.
If you're carrying wine in a vehicle this will affect your overall carry weight for towing. Or if you're planning on shipping wine, finding the right box that fits will weigh much less and lower your overall costs.

San Pellegrino Sparkling Water | 28.8 pounds |
Perrier Sparkling Mineral Water | 29.5 pounds |

Búho Soda Mango Passion Fruit | 34.2 pounds |
Mexican Coke | 34.6 pounds |
To Conclude
The weight of a case of wine can vary from different wine manufacturers and companies. This will have different values for each company based primarily on packaging. Once again these numbers are average calculations to help give a standard estimate when shipping or carrying wine.
