Many consumers look at how many calories are in food in general and wine in particular when choosing products in order to follow a healthy lifestyle. For this reason, we inform you about the calories that white wine contains with the help of the experts from the Segura Viudas Technical Department.
The energy value or caloric value of food is proportional to the amount of energy it can provide when burned in the presence of oxygen. It is measured in calories, which is the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of one gram of water by one degree. Each group of energy nutrients – carbohydrates, lipids or proteins – has a different caloric value and more or less uniform in each group.
Calories in a bottle and a glass of white wine
How many calories does a bottle of white wine have? A bottle of white wine, such as Segura Viudas Xarel·lo, has 750 ml and 525 kcal. And how many calories does a glass of white wine have? Taking into account the above data, a 100 ml glass of Segura Viudas Xarel·lo has 70 kcal.
How are calories calculated?
In order to calculate the exact calories of a wine we must know its alcoholic strength, since more alcohol means more calories. White wines tend to be less alcoholic and therefore have less energy intake. White wine is one of the alcoholic beverages with the least amount of calories; it does not usually exceed 90kcal per glass, an amount similar to a yogurt, as indicated by Women’sHealth.
It should be noted that the lower the residual sugar content in a wine, that is, the drier a wine is, the more “light” it will be. In this sense, we recommend some white wines from our winery, such as Segura Viudas Xarel·lo or Segura Viudas Creu de Lavit. On the other hand, sweet wines will present a higher caloric intake as they contain a greater amount of sugar. Therefore, the number of calories provided will vary depending on the type of wine, the variety of grapes with which it is made, the time of maturation, etc.
