How many calories are in a glass of wine?
Most of the calories in wine come from the alcohol, though some additional calories come from the fruit used to make the wine. Since some wines are more dry than sweet and they have less sugar, those wines have less calories. Also, wines vary in alcohol content, which also affects the number of calories from alcohol. A glass of wine has about 85 calories while a glass of dessert wine has 135 calories. In any event, a pretty good rule of thumb is that table wine has approximately 25 calories per ounce. When cooking with wine, you can end up boiling out the alcohol. The result is that the calorie impact from the wine is drastically reduced.
