A typical glass of wine (about 5 ounces or 150 ml) contains roughly 120 to 130 calories on average. The exact calorie content varies by type of wine: dry white wines tend to have around 100-120 calories, dry red wines about 115-140 calories, and sparkling wines around 110-130 calories per glass. Sweeter wines and fortified wines generally have higher calories, reaching up to 160-250 calories per glass depending on alcohol and sugar content.
Calories by Wine Type per Glass (approx. 5 oz / 150 ml)
- Dry White Wines: 100–120 calories
- Dry Red Wines: 115–140 calories
- Sparkling Wines: 110–130 calories
- Sweet White Wines: 150–180 calories
- Fortified/Dessert Wines: 160–250 calories
A standard serving size of wine is about 150 ml, which generally contains these ranges of calories depending on the wine's alcohol level and residual sugar.
Thus, for a regular glass of wine, expect around 120 to 130 calories, but more if it is sweet or fortified wine.
