    What kind of wine and how much? A standard pour (5 ounces) of red wine is around 125 calories.

    That's a pretty big glass of wine I think? Depending on the wine, I think it's usually @ 125 cals for 5 oz or so.

    ETA: @janejellyroll and I know our wine calories off the top of our heads :lol:

    Let's get serious here! A bottle of wine is 500-600kcals. (Varies by ABV, mostly.) :p

    We have finally gotten FitVine wine in this area - app. 95 cals per 5 oz., ABV is around 13%. We're going to enjoy some Carbernet Sauvignon tonight with our Netflix :)

    it was a bottle of pinot Grigio; I had 2 glasses of wine....and at 6oz. I didn't pull that number out of thin number, but from the MFP database...generic white pinot Grigio.

    Unfortunately just because something is in the database doesn't mean it's correct. I always try to avoid "generic" entries, as they are usually user entered. The 250 cals is closer to 2 glasses worth rather than one.

    I figure you're supposed to aerate red wine anyway, so pouring it into the measuring cup and then into my glass is just me being all fancy and high class :smiley:

    I've got some expensive aerators and decanters but I only use them w/the "good" stuff.

    Was just drinking out of a cheap $5 bottle of pinot that I used for cooking last night.

    Aeration by pre-measuring did little to improve it but any improvement would be worth the effort. ;)

    LOL!
