Where do calories in wine come from?
Calories in wine and other drinks can come from sugar content – depending on the style – but alcohol itself is a major contributor.
‘If you are looking to limit your calorie intake, you are right to focus on the alcohol content of wine, as this is by far the most significant determinant of its calorific content,’ wrote Beverley Blanning MW in response to a
Decanter reader query in 2016.
‘Alcohol weighs in at a hefty seven calories per gram, which is only two calories fewer than pure fat.’
You might hear calories in wine referred to as ’empty calories’, because they are not considered to have any nutritional value.
