Not all wine is created equal. A dry red like Cabernet Sauvignon clocks in around 125 calories per glass. That’s about 625 for the whole bottle. A sweet white like Riesling? Way more sugar. You can hit 700+ calories easily.
That sugar is what makes it dangerously easy to drink. One glass becomes two. Two becomes “just the rest.” Suddenly, you’ve downed 600 calories without a single chip. Oops.
Fun fact: a bottle of Port or dessert wine can pack over 1,000 calories. That’s almost half a day’s worth. In one bottle. Yikes.
