If you want to reduce weight, wine (red or white) is not a good food option for a healthy weight loss diet, as it has a high calorie-content. It's easy to take in excess calories when drinking delicious wine (!), which is why most calorie-controlled diets recommend a low intake of wines. In addition to energy content, dietary nutrition is also important, as a nutritious diet helps the body to burn calories faster and maintains a healthy metabolic rate. Therefore as well as calorie-counting, check food labels for nutritional value. Nutritional and energy values provided on most of the above pages include: vitamins, minerals, folate and dietary fiber, as well as protein and carbs. Understanding diet nutrition makes calorie control and weight management easier and helps you to follow a healthy eating plan. See also Nutrition in Wine
Calorie savings tip: If you are counting calories because you are on a weight loss diet plan, the best way to lower energy intake is to drink less alcohol, including red or white wine. Also, remember that any physical exercise helps to increase energy-expenditure/your calorie deficit and thus allows you to drink extra wine with less risk of weight gain.
