A typical glass of white wine contains approximately 120 to 130 calories for a 150 ml (5 oz) serving, though this can vary depending on the wine's alcohol content and sweetness
. More specifically:
- A 175 ml glass (common serving size) of medium-strength white wine has about 131 calories
- White wines with alcohol content between 11% and 13% ABV generally have around 105 to 118 calories per 150 ml glass
- A 100 ml glass of dry white wine at about 11.5% ABV contains roughly 75 calories, while a medium dry white at 13.5% ABV has about 90 calories
- Sweeter white wines have higher calories due to added sugar, often exceeding 130 calories per glass
Calories in white wine mainly come from alcohol (7 calories per gram) and residual sugar (4 calories per gram), so higher alcohol and sugar content increase the calorie count
. In summary, expect about 120-130 calories in a standard 150 ml glass of white wine, with variation depending on ABV and sweetness level.
