Glass of wine calories come to 123 for a 148 g glass of table wine and 83 per 100 g. The pour matters more than the color. Red lands at 125 and white at 121, so the real swing comes from how many glasses you have and how full each one is.

Two glasses are a 246-calorie evening
The USDA reference glass here is 5 fl oz of table wine, which weighs 148 g and carries 123 calories. That is 6 percent of a daily value on the calorie row. One glass is easy to place in a day. The trouble starts when the second and third arrive without anyone counting.
Two glasses bring 296 g of wine and 246 calories. Three glasses reach 444 g and 369 calories, which is the size of a light meal. Five glasses, roughly what a shared bottle and a bit more looks like, add up to 740 g and 614 calories. None of that comes with protein worth mentioning: even five glasses supply only 0.5 g.
Home pours also drift. A large bowl-shaped glass filled halfway can hold far more than 148 g, and the numbers above scale with weight. If you track intake, measure one pour once so you know what your usual glass actually holds. BodyPal can also log a glass from a photo, which helps on nights when counting is the last thing on your mind.
Most wine calories come from alcohol, not sugar
The macro split reads 97 percent carbs, 3 percent protein and 0 percent fat. That looks like a sugary drink until you check the grams. Per 100 g, wine has 2.7 g of carbs, 0.1 g of protein and 0 g of fat, and those grams explain only a small slice of the 83 calories.
The rest comes from alcohol, which the standard macro columns do not list. That is why a drink with almost no carbs, fat or protein still lands at 123 calories a glass. The split only describes the tiny share of energy that sits in the three classic macros.
Sugar is modest in table wine. A 148 g glass holds 1.2 g of sugars, red holds 0.9 g and white holds 1.4 g. So swapping between dry red and white barely changes the sugar line. Cutting the number of glasses changes the calorie line far more than switching styles.
Red and white sit within a few calories
The USDA rows put a 147 g glass of red at 125 calories and the same weight of white at 121. Carbs are identical at 3.8 g per glass. Red carries slightly less sugar, 0.9 g against 1.4 g for white, and both have 0.1 g of protein and 0 g of fat.
That gap is too small to steer a choice. Pick the wine you like and let the pour size do the work. If you want the lowest total, a smaller glass beats any switch in color.
Sodium is a non-issue across all of them. A standard glass has 7 mg, red has 6 mg, and the daily value share rounds to 0 percent against the 2300 mg reference. Potassium comes in at 99 mg per 100 g, a small amount rather than a reason to drink.
Wine adds calories without adding fullness
A glass of wine brings 123 calories but almost nothing that keeps you full: 0.1 g of protein, 0 g of fiber and 0 g of fat. Those calories sit on top of dinner rather than replacing part of it. If you are watching your total, count the glass the same way you count a side dish.
Pairing helps. Wine next to a plate built on lean protein and vegetables leaves room in the day, while wine next to cheese, bread and dessert stacks calories quickly. Water between glasses slows the pace and often means the second glass never gets poured.
Planning works better than guessing. If you know two glasses are 246 calories, you can decide ahead whether that fits, and adjust the rest of the meal. If three glasses at 369 calories is a regular weekend habit, that number belongs in your weekly picture too.
How does glass of wine compare?
Here is how a standard glass of table wine compares with white wine, rose wine and Chardonnay, per 100 g and per usual serving.
Verdict: Per 100 g these wines are nearly identical, from 82 for white to 84 for Chardonnay, so color and grape are not where calories hide. For the lowest total pick a 147 g glass of white at 121 calories, and be wary of rose served in a 180 g glass, which climbs to 149.
Glass of wine FAQs
How many calories are in a glass of wine?
A standard 5 fl oz pour (148 g) of table wine is about 123 calories. That works out to 83 calories per 100 g.
Red wine or white wine: which has fewer calories?
White wine is slightly lower at 121 calories per 147 g glass (82 per 100 g), against 125 calories for red (85 per 100 g).
Does wine fit into a weight loss plan?
One glass adds about 123 calories and 4 g of carbs, so two glasses come to roughly 246 calories on top of your food for the day.
How much sugar is in a glass of wine?
Table wine has 0.79 g of sugars per 100 g, about 1.2 g in a 5 fl oz glass. Red is lower at 0.62 g per 100 g and rose higher at 3.8 g.
How many calories are in a glass of rose wine?
A 180 g glass of rose wine has 149 calories. Per 100 g it sits at 83, the same as table wine, so the higher total comes from the bigger pour rather than a richer wine.
How many calories are in two or three glasses of wine?
Two 148 g glasses of table wine have 246 calories, and three glasses have 369. The total climbs in a straight line with each pour, since every glass adds 123 calories.
How many calories are in five glasses of wine?
Five 148 g glasses, 740 g of wine in total, come to 614 calories. That amount still supplies only 0.5 g of protein, so nearly all of it is energy without much else.
Does Chardonnay have more calories than a regular glass of wine?
Barely. A 147 g glass of Chardonnay has 123 calories, the same as a 148 g glass of table wine. Per 100 g it is 84 against 83, a gap too small to matter.
How much sodium is in a glass of wine?
A 148 g glass of table wine has 7 mg of sodium, which rounds to 0 percent of the 2300 mg daily value. Red has 6 mg per glass, so sodium is not a concern with wine.
