Calories in HB wine

[sampvt]

Does anyone know how many calories there are in a bottle of a HB kit wine. Approximate will do. Its the wife, she is on a diet (of sorts, lol)

Ball park figure, I use 125 calories per ounce for a dry wine. The sweeter the wine, the higher the caloric amount. I'm there (figuratively speaking) with your wife. One 6 ounce glass per day, sip, and enjoy.

What! 750 calories in a glass of wine? Please say it isn't so.

The number of calories in wine is actually around 25 calories per ounce or 125 per 5 ounce glass, not 125 per ounce. If it was that much, all winedrinkers would be fat in no time.

That is exactly correct, 25 per ounce. My humblest and sincerest apologies. Now, I have to go for a walk to wake up!!

grapeman is on it. Average glass(5 oz.) of dry red wine is approx.120 cal. with approx. 4 carbs.
The sweeter wines will increase in both of these numbers.

So, taking the number of 120 - 125 per 5 oz. glass from the others, the answer to your specific question would be about 625 calories per 750 ml bottle.

Also, you asked about homebrew wine in particular. At the risk of sounding obvious, the calories don't care -- it is the same in homemade as in commercial.

Now I feel better. I thought I was going to stop drinking wine and just sniff it.

You're not getting it. At 125 per glass, you don't have to walk anymore.

Rodnboro, you don't understand. There is all of the fine food that goes along with the wine. Any heavier and it will be an electric cart for me. Sign that "Happy and Heavy".
