Change language:
People who are familiar with the science of nutrition know that we consume quite a lot of extra calories through alcoholic beverages. We are here to help you out in case you are struggling between staying in shape and your love for a bottle of great Hungarian wine.
BorászPortál explains that due to its alcohol and residual sugar content, a glass of wine can be responsible for a lot of extra calories.
What’s in a glass of wine anyway?
Wine usually consists of water, alcohol, and the so-called extract, which is residual dry matter content in the wine (such as glycerol, acid, minerals, protein [nitrogen compounds], tannin, vitamins, fragrance, aroma, and colouring). We should also take into consideration the residual sugar content of specific wines. For example, you might think that just because aszú wines usually have less alcohol, these are also less in calories, but these contain more sugar than dry white wines, adding to your final calorie intake.
