A standard 125ml glass of supermarket wine contains between 90 and 160 calories depending on style, ABV, and sugar content. That adds up fast — a bottle of mainstream red or white can clock 600–700 calories. If you drink wine regularly and you're watching your intake, the wine you choose matters more than most people realise.
Here's the complete breakdown by style, and how DrinkWell's range compares.
