Having a glass of wine every day is not healthy.

Agreed, my intent was occasional. I shall go and put that word in.

I drink pretty much only on the weekends and that’s pretty seldom.

Is one glass of wine really that bad though? Like compared to a glass of grape juice? Because of the sugars and calories and is alcohol in this percentage range (approx 14%) enough to cause damage to your liver over time?

Again I’m talking about one glass

Any amount of alcohol is per definition unhealthy. The "health benefits" of red wine can easily be attained through other foods or drinks.
