1. Keep in mind that a glass of red wine a day is good for your health.
2. On average a 4 ounce serving of red wine has about 5 calories more than the same size serving of white wine. However the number of calories varies from one variety of wine to another. Alcohol content effects the number of calories also. The higher the alcohol content, the higher the calories. You can search the USDA Nutrient Database for the different varieties of wine and their nutritional information. In moderation, wine is good for your health. It can raise your HDL (good cholesterol), thin your blood, and improve your overall cardiovascular health. It is recommended that women drink no more than one 5-ounce glass per day and men no more than two 5-ounce glasses per day.
