The Facts on Calories in that glass of wine you are holding!




Choices

The worst


One of the highest calorie counts for a glass of wine comes from Ruby Port. In a 4 oz glass, Ruby Port can deliver 185 calories. ( that stuff will only give you a nasty head-ache! Stay clear from it! )

The best

Various brands may vary, for a 4 oz glass of wine, but white zinfandel ( sorry! I can't stand Zin's)  tends to be one of the safest bets with a modest 80 calories.  BUT...other smart choices are Chablis, at 85 calories, and chardonnays with around 90 calories all from 4 oz servings. 

The table below shows the amount of calories for an average glass (4 fl oz/115ml), with the average glass being five glasses per bottle
