Are There Fewer Calories In White or Red Wine?

One question people often ask about wine concerns the volume of calories it has in it. Are there fewer calories in white wine than there are in red wine? One thing you normally hear is that wine – and indeed other forms of alcohol – contains ‘empty calories’. This basically means that it doesn’t have a lot of nutrients – the calories are just about the only thing in it, unlike various forms of foods you could think of.

Well there’s empty and then there’s empty! One thing that restrictive diets that don’t allow alcohol at all tend to forget is that many people enjoy a drink. So in a sense a glass of wine doesn’t have empty calories because it is a pleasurable experience and it also contains many good things such as antioxidants, which can help keep us healthier and free from disease.

So how do the calories match up between red and white wine?

Some people believe that white wine has fewer calories than its red counterpart, and they would be right. Let’s take dry wines to start with, since they are less calorific than the sweet ones for obvious reasons.

A small 115ml glass of dry red wine would set you back around 83 calories. Not bad, but as it turns out a small glass of dry white wine would be slightly less calorific. In this case you would consume around 77 calories for the same amount in white wine as red wine. But are there fewer calories in white wine that is sweet compared to a sweet red wine?

Actually you might be surprised to learn they are virtually the same. Just three calories separate the two of them in the same volume serving – 115ml – and this time the red wine comes out very marginally less calorific. Of course a lot of people prefer a drier wine these days, so if you focus on a dry white wine you can easily fit a glass of it into your diet on a daily basis.

Fortified wines will always be more calorific but if you stick to the traditional red or white wine you can see how beneficial it can be to allow yourself this little treat each day!

Wouldn’t you be better off going for alcohol free wine?

It would seem to be an option wouldn’t it? But many people are surprised to learn that alcohol free wine is not that much different from ‘real wine’. It weighs in at just under forty calories for a 115ml glass on the whole. Wouldn’t you rather enjoy a good glass of real wine for slightly more calories?

Needless to say, if you want to enjoy a proper drink but still consume as few calories as possible, white wine is the best option to go for, in a dry version. Are there fewer calories in white wine? Yes there are, but red wine isn’t too bad either so if you want to enjoy the taste of a good wine and still lose weight, it’s more than possible to do so.
