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.
I enjoyed your thoughts on the French wines.
