Most reds sit around 125 calories a glass — the higher alcohol does most of the work, with very little residual sugar.

Typical calories per standard 5 oz glass and per full 750 ml bottle, plus how many US standard drinks a bottle holds. Every figure updates from the same math the calculator uses.
| Wine type | ABV | Per glass | Per bottle | Drinks/bottle |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dry red (Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah, Malbec) | 13.5% | 125 | 633 | 5.7 |
| Dry white (Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio) | 12.5% | 116 | 588 | 5.3 |
| Chardonnay (full-bodied white) | 13.5% | 123 | 623 | 5.7 |
| Rosé (dry) | 12% | 120 | 608 | 5.1 |
| Champagne / sparkling (Brut) | 12% | 96 | 486 | 5.1 |
| Prosecco (extra dry) | 11% | 98 | 497 | 4.6 |
| Off-dry white (Riesling, Moscato) | 10% | 130 | 659 | 4.2 |
| Sweet dessert wine (Sauternes, late harvest) | 13% | 200 | 1014 | 5.5 |
| Fortified (Port, Madeira, Sherry) | 20% | 220 | 1115 | 8.5 |
Each wine type starts from a typical published calorie and carbohydrate figure for a 5 oz glass. We scale that to your serving size, and work out standard drinks from the alcohol itself — the volume you pour, times the wine's ABV, times the density of alcohol, divided by the 14-gram US standard-drink unit. Individual bottles vary with their exact alcohol and sugar.
A standard 5 oz (148 ml) glass of dry wine is roughly 115–125 calories — about 125 for a red, closer to 116 for a crisp dry white, and around 96 for a brut sparkling. Sweeter and fortified wines climb higher: an off-dry Riesling is about 130 calories a glass, a sweet dessert wine around 200, and a Port near 220. Most of the calories come from the alcohol, with residual sugar adding the rest. Pick your wine type and pour above for an exact count.
A full 750 ml bottle holds about five 5 oz glasses, so a bottle of dry red is roughly 630 calories, a dry white about 590, and a brut sparkling around 490. A sweet dessert or fortified wine can top 1,000 calories a bottle. Use the calculator above and choose the "Full bottle" serving to see the figure for your wine type.
Among common styles, brut Champagne and other dry sparkling wines are usually the lightest — around 90–100 calories a glass — because they're bone dry and slightly lower in alcohol. Dry whites and dry rosés come next. The calorie count rises with both alcohol and sugar, so the sweet and fortified wines (dessert wine, Port) are the most calorie-dense.
They're closer than most people think. A dry red averages about 125 calories per 5 oz glass and a dry white about 116 — the small gap is mostly because reds tend to run a little higher in alcohol. A full-bodied, riper white like an oaked Chardonnay can match a red. Sweetness matters more than colour: an off-dry white outweighs almost any dry red.
In the US, one standard drink contains 14 grams of pure alcohol — which works out to about 5 oz (148 ml) of 12% wine. Because standard drinks are measured by alcohol, a higher-ABV wine packs more into the same pour: a 5 oz glass of 14% red is a bit over one standard drink, while a full 750 ml bottle of 13% wine is roughly five. The calculator shows the standard-drink count for whatever serving you choose.
Each wine type starts from a typical published figure for calories and carbohydrates in a 5 oz glass (from USDA and NIAAA reference data), then the tool scales that to your chosen serving size. Standard drinks are computed from the alcohol itself: the volume you pour, times the wine's ABV, times the density of alcohol, divided by the 14-gram US standard-drink unit. These are typical values for each style — an individual bottle varies with its exact alcohol and sugar.
