So how do you figure out how many calories are a glass or two of wine?

    Wine is in the database. Search for it. All you need to know is how many ounces you drank (glass size)

    Hope that helps.

    Weigh it. Look at the label. Look in the database. Google it.

    The options are endless. Go forth, my child!

    It doesn't say on the bottle? Google it. I did and the first couple sites are really helpful. I figured you would be better of choosing which site you would prefer to reference. Is it not in the database on here? I would think it would be. Sorry I'm not more helpful!

    If it has a barcode and you have the MFP app on your phone, scan it. Otherwise search the database, google it, or look at the brandmaker's website.

    It's in MFP's database, some are there by brand. If you want the exact number, you can go to the maker's website and make an entry here. :)
    Enjoy!

    Yeah it's low alcohol which makes it low calorie! Not worth it in my opinion, I'd only end up drinking more of it and consuming the same calories :wink:

    It is in the database under red or white but basically all wine has about the same calorie wise. I take the amount of ounces it says, pour into measuring cup, pour some in a glass and add seltzer or club soda to make a wine spritzer. That way one glass can be 2 or 3 with club soda and still only calories of one glass. And the club soda or seltzer adds water for the day. Wine can add a lot of extra calories and sugar if you don't control and count them. Has made a big difference in my weight loss speed by doing this instead of just pourng in a glass. Glasses for wine are any where from 5- 8 ounces so you actually can be getting 1 1/2- 2 glasses if you don't measure.

    Although beware of the barcode! One obscure red wine I bought scanned as "Heinz salad cream." WTF?

    Two weekends ago I drank a bottle of wine over the period of 2 days (Sat and Sun). Monday after my workout I weighed myself and I had gained 3 pounds. Those pounds were all water of course.... but it made me seriously reconsider drinking wine. Which sucks because I love Moscato.
