How Many Calories in a Glass of Red Wine?

Starting with one 750 ml. bottle of wine, can pour up to 5 to 7 glasses of wine depending on the size of the glass being poured. The calories from wine are approximately 115 - 129 Cal. Wine is a drink that has few calories compared to other drinks. Wine has a similar alcohol content to vodka soda, which is a mix drink.

Most wines are around 11% to 14% alcohol, but some are as low as 5.5% and above 20%.


This is often, but not always, linked to the growing region: “The calorie content of wine is largely affected by climate.”

This is because alcohol comes from sugar. Grapes grown in warm areas have more sugar.

Wines with the highest alcohol percentage and more residual sugar, such as Port wine and Sherry, have the highest calorie content. They can contain over 200 calories per 5-ounce glass and 1,000 calories per bottle.

Your best way is a dry wine with less residual sugar and a lower Abv. This type of wine usually has 90 to 120 calories per glass and 500 to 600 calories per bottle.
