It’s easy to forget that your favourite bottle of red winecontains more than intricately woven flavours and personality – they also contain calories. And whilst excessive consumption of mince pies often gets the blame for post-Christmas corpulence, chances are all that red wine hasn’t helped either… So, how many calories are in a bottle of 750ml red wine? Here’s the easy answer: A bottle of red wine 750 ml contains 625 calories.  There are two main factors that affect the amount of calories in your bottle. The first is the alcohol content. The alcohol in a wine generally depends on how much sugar was in the grapes when they were vinified. Browse our Bordeaux Wine (750ml bottles) Let’s take a look Amarone, whose grapes are partially dried in the sun-drenched hills of northern Italy in a technique known as “Appassimento”. The more heat the grapes receive, the more sugar they will produce. Accordingly this red wine has higher alcohol content, often clocking in at 15% ABV and around 224 calories per glass (that’s 896 per bottle!). In the right hands Amarone is absolutely superb, but best enjoyed in moderation. One way to tell whether your wine has high alcohol content is to inspect the ‘legs’ by tilting the glass and seeing the wine’s viscosity. Our recommendation is more simple – check the back of the label! The other factor is the amount of sugar in the wine. Take Port for example. This decadent and sumptuous fortified red wine often contains nearly 1200 calories per bottle. That being said, if you’re glugging a glass of 1945 Graham’s with some Stilton then hat’s off to you! Discover our range of Red Wine! Read time: 2 minutes 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. A standard 175ml glass of 13% ABV red wine can contain as many as 160 calories according to drinkaware, meaning that some bottles of red wine could contain up to 960 calories. That’s the equivalent of almost four and a half jam donuts! To put that into perspective, the average person would need to run for around an hour and a half to burn off the calories from a bottle of red wine. However, red wines that generally have a lower alcohol content can contain significantly less calories than this. Typically, red wine calories will range from 135 to 165 calories per 175ml glass (that’s between 580 and 710 calories per bottle). DrinkWell do the hard work for you, taste testing every bottle to find you the perfect wine case that's also lower in calories. Order yours today and find out for yourself why more people are choosing DrinkWell. The calorie content varies between different types of red wine. Below are some examples of calories typically found in a bottle of popular types of red wine:
What colour wine has the most calories?Generally speaking, red wine is usually the most calorific out of all of the wine colours. Rose wine has on average around 70 - 80 calories per 100ml, white wine has 73 - 83 calories per 100ml whilst red wine tends to contain between 75 - 85 calories per 100ml. 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 carbs or protein by volume. Alcohol has seven calories per gram, whilst carbohydrates and proteins have four calories. With this in mind, wines produced in Europe tend to be lower in calories due to production laws leading to lower alcohol levels. Sugar in wines can also affect the caloriesIn addition to checking the alcohol content in wines, sugar can also have an impact. If a low alcohol wine has a high sugar content, this will usually offset the amount of calorie saving that you might be looking for. Unfortunately, many brands of wine don’t discuss the amounts of calories or sugar in wine on their packaging and this information isn’t always easy to find.
