The Calories in Wine

The holidays are a time of year when many of us have to loosen our belt buckles just a bit, attempting to satisfy our expanding waistlines. It’s not our fault; the pumpkin pie, the chocolate fudge, and the buttered yams all sit smugly on the dinner table, daring us to take a bite: yes, we are practically being force fed. Even so, the calories still add up, not just one crumb at a time but also one sip at a time.

In moderation or in abundance, the calories of wine can make a difference in weight.

When drinking wine most people don’t think of calories in wine. At least among my friends we never talk about it or are concerned if that might affect our diet goals. When eating I’m usually pretty good at making sure that I wouldn’t overeat but when drinking I never pay attention if my calorie consumption is going up or not. Maybe it is that I’m just having such a great time that I just don’t want to think about it.

So, the question still remains how many calories are in wine?
