Calories in red wine

The glass at dinner, weighed like the rest of the table, because alcohol counts too: this page measures, it recommends nothing.

Red wine, as this page weighs it.

What a real portion weighs

The Anses table gives values per 100 grams, and 100 grams is not a portion anybody serves. Here are the same values, applied to the portions as they turn up. Weights are in grams, the unit the table is built on. For a quick conversion: 1 oz is about 28 g, and 1 lb is about 454 g.

Ciqual 2025 composition from Anses, multiplied by the weight of each portion. A dash marks a value the table has not determined.

Where these weights come from. Volumes are converted to grams at one gram per milliliter, as for beer: the density of wine is very close to it. The two pours above are European measures; the US standard drink is 5 fl oz, about 148 ml, which sits between the two.

Red wine vs beer

Two evening glasses, two very different volumes for neighboring energies: wine concentrates what beer stretches out.

What a table of values does not say

  • The energy of a wine comes first from its alcohol: the higher the degree, the more the glass weighs in the journal, and residual sugar only follows.
  • The bourguignon of the catalog holds a share of it: cooking drives off part of the alcohol, and the table of the dish accounts for that.

The Zemiam recipe that uses it

These pages carry their calories and their macros, recalculated from the same table as this one. The weight given is that of the ingredient in one serving.

What comes after the number

How much to eat in a day

A portion means nothing without the day that holds it. A calorie need is worked out from height, weight, age and activity level, then split into protein, carbohydrate and fat.

An average weight is an estimate. A photo is not.

In Zemiam, a photo of the meal is enough to log the real portion, with the composition of this same table rather than a guessed figure.

Where the values come from

The composition comes from the Anses Ciqual table: Anses. 2025. Table de composition nutritionnelle des aliments Ciqual, published under Licence Ouverte 2.0. The per-100 g values are reproduced without being altered; the per-portion values are those same values multiplied by a weight, and that weight is not an Anses figure.
