Answer:
Red wine, by legal definition, is only allowed to have one ingredient: grapes. That's the short answer.

The longer answer is that it depends on the quality of the wine, where it was made, and what the climatic conditions were when it was produced.

If a wine was made in a cooler climate, or during a poor growing season, it may not have enough natural sugar in it. This is often fixed with a process known as 'chapitalisation', which is the addition of sugar (often in the form of concentrated grape must) to the wine prior to fermentation. This will make the wine more alcoholic and give it more body.

If a wine was made in a very hot climate, or picked at the wrong time, it may not have enough natural acid in it. This is often fixed with a process known as 'acidification', which is the addition of acids to a wine. This will make the wine slightly tarter, and also much less cloying, if it's to be a sweet wine.

Some cheap wines are 'improved' by the addition of oak essences, which are intended to give the wine the flavour of having been aged in oak. This rarely works, and I don't recommend it.

Some of the above additives are legal in some places and illegal in others. You'd have to check local wine laws for each specific wine.

There are other substances that are used in the winemaking process, such as yeast and fining agents (eg albumen, issinglas, dichotomous earth, etc...). These however are not ingredients, but rather processes, as they do not remain in the finished product.

Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) is also used in the winemaking process, as a way of keeping oxygen (O2) away from the wine. Some of this will get absorbed by the wine (and more will be created by the fermentation process) but this is generally not considered to be an 'ingredient', per se, by most winemaking regions.
grapes
The main thing is fermented grapes, which is a nice way to say, 'grapes that have rotted'. There is also sometimes additives, which can be harmful. That's about it, but I don't drink wine, so I can't say for certain.
Grapes, plus yeast to cause fermentation.
