How many calories are in red wine on average?
It is no secret that red wine can contain large amounts of calories. The exact amount of calories found in red wine can vary widely between types of wine and different brands, just like the alcohol content does. In our research, we found that typically, the calorie content in widely available red wines will range from 101 to 114 calories per 125 glass (between 606 and 684 calories per bottle). According to drinkware, a standard 175ml glass of 13% ABV red wine can contain as many as 160 calories, meaning that some bottles of red wine could contain up to 680 calories. That’s the equivalent of almost two and a half jam doughnuts! To put that into perspective, the average person would need to run over 6 miles to burn off the calories from a bottle of red wine. However, red wines with lower alcohol content can contain significantly fewer calories than this.

What Colour Wine Has the Most Calories?
In DrinkWells research, where we looked into the nutritional value of 22 supermarket wines, we found that, on average, red wine contained the highest amount of calories of all the bottles tested. Also within our research, we discovered that:
- Rose wine has on average around 91 – 92 calories per 125 ml
- White wine has 98 – 99 calories per 125 ml
- Red wine tends to contain between 104 – 105 calories per 125 ml.
This can be explained by the fact that red wine tends to have a higher alcohol content, and wines with a higher alcohol content will usually contain more calories than wines with a lower alcohol content. This is because lower-alcohol wines have more carbohydrates or protein by volume. Alcohol alone has seven calories per gram, whilst carbohydrates and proteins have four calories. With this in mind, European wines tend to be lower in calories due to production laws leading to lower alcohol levels.
