The number of wine calories in an average glass (4 fl oz or 115ml) is shown in the table below. Wine can contain up to 15% alcohol by volume so the stronger wines can contain lots alcohol content, and thus a fair amount of calories.
As a comparison, alcohol contains 7 calories per gram and fat has 9 calories per gram. This means that alcohol contains nearly as many calories as FAT! The more alcohol a wine contains, the more energy that it will add to your daily intake. Therefore to lose weight, it may be best to cut out wines and other alcoholic drinks until you have reached your ideal weight.
Also, a good tip is to try cut down on wine calories by introducing a glass or two of non-alcoholic drinks on nights where drinking is heavy. This will help to significantly reduce the calories from wines and alcoholic drinks until the weight is lost.
