📊 Approximate nutritional / energy values

(Wines generally do not require mandatory nutrition labels like food products, so I am providing approximate average values for a dry red wine with an alcohol content of ~13 %.)

👉 The calories in wine come mainly from alcohol (approx. 7 kcal per gram) and only minimally from residual sugars, as dry wine contains very little sugar.

🍾 Approximate energy content of a whole bottle (0.75 l)

If we take an approximate figure of ~90 kcal per 100 ml:

• 750 ml × ~90 kcal/100 ml ≈ ~675 kcal for the whole bottle

➡️ A whole bottle of dry red wine contains approximately ~650–700 kcal (approximate estimate).
