A lot of wine makes one hungry whereas a small amount makes one feel full ( Brochos 35b).
"Glucose when infused intraduodenally at a low rate produced a decrease in food intake. However, when glucose was infused at a high rate, the rabbits nearly doubled their food intake during the first half hour after infusion. It is hypothesized that the rapid arrival of glucose in the dudenum may produce hunger".
This may be related to the newly appreciated phenomenon that people who drink sugar free soda (that is non-glucose drinks which contain sugar substitutes or sugars which are not metabolized) gain more weight.
