how many calories in a glass of white wine
Fair enough, but losing weight is a psychological process and I would feel seriously deprived if I were to give up wine (and be out of a job) whereas skipping spuds is not a hardship. Of course, it depends on what your tipple is as to exactly how many calories you will be consuming. An average woman needs 2000 calories a day and a man 2500 and, tempting though it is, we can't take up this allocation entirely with wine. A small (125ml) glass of dry white wine will have around 85 calories; medium dry will have around 95, and sweet about 120. A large (175ml) glass of red wine will also have 120 calories, while my other favourite drink, a pint of Guinness, has around 170.
