Calories in Wine vs Beer

Calories in Wine vs Beer

On average, wine has fewer calories than beer per serving — but only if you're comparing like for like. A 125ml glass of wine averages 95–110 kcal; a 330ml can of standard lager averages 130–150 kcal. Once you move to a pint (568ml), the gap widens significantly: a pint of 5% lager typically contains 220–250 kcal, while a 175ml glass of wine sits at 130–165 kcal.
