Nutrition Facts

Per 100ml white wine

* % Daily Value based on a 2,000 kcal diet.

Quick summary: White wine contains 82 calories per 100ml — 123 kcal per glass. Very similar to red wine in calories but contains fewer polyphenols (no grape skin fermentation). About 11-13% alcohol. Dry white wines (Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio) are lowest in sugar (0.5-2g/glass). Sweet whites (Riesling dessert, Moscato) can have 5-15g sugar per glass.

White Wine Nutrition Facts

Fewer Polyphenols Than Red Wine

White wine contains significantly fewer polyphenols than red wine because grape skins — which contain most of the resveratrol, quercetin, and anthocyanins — are removed before fermentation. White wine typically has 10-100mg of total polyphenols per litre versus 200-400mg for red wine. Rosé falls between the two. For the polyphenol-related health associations with wine consumption, red wine has a stronger research base.

Dry vs Sweet — Sugar Matters

The sugar content of white wine varies dramatically by style. Dry wines (Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay): 0.5-2g sugar per glass. Off-dry (Riesling, Gewürztraminer): 2-5g/glass. Sweet dessert wines (Sauternes, Moscato): 5-20g/glass. For people monitoring carbohydrates or blood sugar, choosing dry varieties significantly reduces sugar intake.

Alcohol — The Same Risk as Red Wine

White wine carries identical alcohol-related health risks as red wine: Group 1 carcinogen status, liver disease risk at high intake, impaired fat metabolism, calorie density (7 kcal/g of alcohol), and pregnancy risks. The polyphenol advantage of red wine over white wine does not extend to these alcohol-specific risks. Both are equally problematic from a cancer risk perspective.

Champagne and Sparkling Wine

Brut Champagne and dry Prosecco are calorically similar to still white wine (~80-85 kcal/100ml) but typically consumed in smaller flute servings (125-150ml). The carbonation also slows consumption and may create greater satiety per millilitre. However, carbonation also accelerates alcohol absorption — making sparkling wines' effects felt more quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many calories in white wine?
White wine has 82 kcal per 100ml. A 150ml glass: 123 kcal. A 200ml pour: 164 kcal. A bottle (750ml): 615 kcal.
Which white wine is lowest in calories?
Dry varieties are lowest: Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Albarino — 82-85 kcal/100ml with minimal sugar. Sweet dessert wines (Sauternes, Moscato, ice wine) can reach 130-180 kcal/100ml with significant residual sugar.
Red wine vs white wine — which is healthier?
Red wine has 2-3× more polyphenols than white wine (from grape skin fermentation). If choosing between the two, red wine has a marginally more favourable research profile. However, both carry the same alcohol-related cancer risk — the polyphenol advantage of red wine does not eliminate this risk.
Is white wine good for you?
White wine provides minimal nutritional value and carries alcohol-associated health risks (cancer, liver disease, cardiovascular effects at high intake). Polyphenol content is substantially lower than red wine. Any cardiovascular benefit associated with moderate drinking is not specific to white wine.
Is white wine keto?
In moderation — 2.60g carbs per 100ml for dry varieties. A glass has ~3.9g net carbs. Choose dry varieties (Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio) to minimise carbs.
How many calories in Champagne or Prosecco?
Brut Champagne: ~80-85 kcal/100ml, similar to dry white wine. Prosecco: ~80 kcal/100ml. Demi-sec (sweeter): ~100 kcal/100ml. A champagne flute (150ml): ~122 kcal.
