How Many Calories in a Bottle of Corona?
139 calories per 330 ml bottle. That's how many calories in a bottle of Corona, working from the label's 42 kcal per 100 ml — and the lime wedge adds roughly one more. Corona Cero, the 0.0% version, lands at just 56 for the same bottle.
You'd need to walk about 28 minutes to burn the 139 calories in a 330 ml bottle.

The zeros are genuine: no fat, no salt, and the sugars line reads nil because brewing ferments the sugar away. What's left is alcohol plus a little residual carbohydrate — which is why the energy row still says 139 while everything below it says nothing. The NHS explainer on calories in alcohol covers exactly this trick.
The bottle, the lime and the maths
- Bottle (330 ml): 139 kcal.
- The lime wedge: about 1 kcal. Squeeze away — it's the cheapest garnish in drinks.
- Per 100 ml: 42 kcal, the number to scale from if you're pouring shares or drinking the 710 ml "familiar" size abroad.
Two bottles across an evening is 278 kcal — a solid snack's worth, arriving silently. Alcohol calories are easy to lose track of precisely because the drink doesn't feel like food; the NHS alcohol advice pages treat them as part of the day's total for good reason, and so should your log.

Corona Cero: the 56-calorie bottle
(alt: "Corona Extra vs Corona Cero calories comparison")
Corona Cero, the 0.0% alcohol-free version, runs about 17 kcal per 100 ml — 56 per bottle. That's a 60% cut from the standard bottle, and it's all down to the missing alcohol: strip out the thing carrying 7 kcal per gram and most of the drink's energy goes with it.
Swapping every second Corona for a Cero on a long evening halves the calorie bill without changing what's in your hand. As alcohol-free lagers go, that 56-kcal figure also makes Cero one of the lighter ways to hold a bottle.
How does Corona compare at the bar?
(alt: "Corona vs bitter, Guinness and wine calories comparison")
| Drink | Per serving |
|---|---|
| Corona Cero (330 ml bottle) | 56 kcal |
| Wine (175 ml glass) | 133 kcal |
| Corona (330 ml bottle) | 139 kcal |
| Bitter (pint) | 170 kcal |
| Guinness (pint) | 199 kcal |
The verdict: order for order, the bottle of Corona undercuts every pint on the list — but that's the container talking, not the beer. Per 100 ml, Corona's 42 kcal is bang-on standard lager density, right alongside Stella or Heineken. For the fewest calories per drink in hand, it's Cero, then wine by a whisker over Corona; a pint of cider or Guinness is the expensive end of the round.
The "light beer" reputation
Corona has a light image, and the numbers explain it without flattering it. The beer itself is ordinary-strength lager at ordinary lager calories. The bottle is what's light: 330 ml against a 568 ml pint, so the serving lands 30-40% smaller than what a pint drinker is having.
That's not a criticism — a built-in smaller serving is an honest way to drink fewer calories, and fewer alcohol units along with them. Just don't double up and call it a saving. Two bottles (278 kcal) beats any single pint on this page.

Corona FAQ
How many calories in a 330 ml bottle of Corona?
139 kcal, based on the label figure of 42 kcal per 100 ml. There's no fat, no salt and no sugar on the label — the energy comes from the alcohol and a small amount of residual carbohydrate (3 g per 100 ml).
How many calories in Corona Cero?
About 56 kcal per 330 ml bottle — roughly 17 kcal per 100 ml. Removing the alcohol removes about 60% of the drink's calories, which makes Cero the lightest way to drink a Corona by a wide margin.
Does the lime add calories to a Corona?
About 1 kcal per wedge — nothing worth logging. The lime is flavour, not food. A Corona with lime is still a 140 kcal drink in round numbers, so garnish freely and count the bottle, not the fruit.
Is Corona lower in calories than other beers?
Per bottle, usually yes; per 100 ml, no. Corona's 42 kcal per 100 ml is standard lager territory — level with the big European names. The bottle's 139 kcal only beats a pint (170 for bitter, 199 for Guinness) because 330 ml is a smaller serving than 568 ml.
Is Corona gluten free?
No — Corona Extra is brewed from barley malt and isn't sold as gluten-free in the UK. The range includes Corona Cero (0.0%) and Corona Ligera (a lighter lager), but those are alcohol and calorie variants, not gluten-free ones. Anyone avoiding gluten should check the label.
How much sugar is in a Corona?
Zero, per the label. Fermentation converts the brewing sugars into alcohol, so the finished lager shows 0 g sugars and 3 g of total carbohydrate per 100 ml. The calories haven't vanished, though — they've moved into the alcohol, which is why a sugar-free bottle still costs 139 kcal.
Is Corona fattening?
139 kcal a bottle counts like any other 139 kcal — two bottles is 278 kcal, a nightly habit is nearly 1,000 kcal a week. Beer calories add weight the same way food calories do when they push the day over budget. Logging drinks alongside meals is the simplest guard.
Corona or a pint of bitter — which has fewer calories?
The Corona, at 139 kcal against 170 for a pint of bitter — but only because the bottle holds 330 ml to the pint's 568. Match the volumes and the bitter is actually the lighter beer per 100 ml. Serving size, not brewing style, decides this one.
