WINEGIRLS WINE WEIGHT LOSS


We love wine. And we’ve heard how heart-smart a glass can be, but what about those calories? Winegirls® has found that some dry wines actually qualify as low-cal snacks!

  Average Calories Per 4 oz glass Points on the Weight Watchers® program
Dry red wine (Zinfandel) 85 - 90 2
Dry white wine (Riesling) 80 2
Sweet wine red or white (Gewürztraminer, Beaujolais, Muscat 90 4
Sweet or dry dessert wine (Port, Madeira, Sauternes) 184 4
Wine Coolers (often with Grenache or Rose wine) 85 1.5 (or 3 points for 8 ounces)
Wine Spritzer (4 oz. Wine with 4 oz. of soda water and lime wedge) 40-45 1 (or 2 points for 8 ounces)

You may ask “How many calories are burned while drinking a glass of wine?” Well, we couldn’t find a specific answer for just “wine drinking”, but we did find answers for various activities that can be performed while drinking wine. We recommend the 10 minutes of sex, as it burns the equivalent of one glass of Zinfandel wine! More sex, and you get more glasses of wine (or is that backwards?)
