What changes the calories
- Alcohol content varies between wines, and higher-alcohol reds generally have more calories per glass than lighter, lower-alcohol ones.
- Sweeter or dessert-style red wines contain more residual sugar, which adds calories compared with dry table reds.
- Pour size makes a big difference, since many home and restaurant pours are larger than a standard 5 fl oz glass.
- Mixing wine into drinks like sangria or spritzers changes the calories depending on the juice, soda or sugar added.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Measure your pour with a measuring cup or jigger once so you know how much your usual glass actually holds.
- Log wine by fluid ounces or by the 5 fl oz glass serving rather than guessing, and add a separate entry for each refill.
- In BerryFit, save your typical pour as a custom serving so you can log it in one tap each time.
