Wine Calories

Wine Calories,  how many calories are in wine ?  Do we really care, should we care, surely a glass of wine is not about the calories.  I think we all would guess that there are not many calories in a glass, in fact there is around 115 calories in a standard glass of Red or Dry White Wine,  a sweeter wine might be nearer 160 calories.

A glass of Red Wine contains 115 calories.

This is obviously far less than a bar of chocolate, and to be honest I think a glass would probably fit into even the hardest calorie counting diet.  Why not have one as part of a treat after exercise,  I bet this is a pretty good way to encourage the exercise.

Its funny but I think that 115 calories per glass is not a lot, until I compare it to a pint of lager which might contain around 215 calories.  I would have imagined that a pint would contain more calories than two standard glasses of wine.  I guess its like everything else, fine in moderation,  but when you’ve had the best part of a bottle the wine calories really start to add up.
