Hi Nicole! Thanks for stopping by my blog! I’d be happy to answer this question for you. Caloric content can vary depending on the exact type of wine, but overall, it is safe to assume that when you are drinking 4 ounces of wine, you are consuming between 90 and 110 calories per glass. If you are enjoying a glass of sweet wine (a dessert wine or a fortified wine) then you are probably closer to 160 to 190 calories a glass.
Overall, it is generally thought that one glass of wine can be part of a well-balanced diet. Of course if you are trying to cut back on calories, then it might make sense to consider wine as more of an occasional treat while you are dieting. But really, if you consider that a soda is about 200 calories, then one glass of wine at around 100 calories seems like a much better deal! Cheers!
Please leave a reply, I'd love to hear from you.
