    They're all going to be pretty much the same. The vast vast majority of wines (red and white) are going to have calorie counts ranging from 23-26 calories per ounce. It would be awfully rare to find one outside of that range (though I'm sure they exist). I just log it as 25 calories/ounce no matter what kind I'm drinking.

    Sorry, let me edit to add a caveat - some sparkling wines, non-traditional fruit wines (like Boone's Farm type stuff) and dessert wines like port are going to be higher calorie. I was basing my first comment off of standard Pinot Grigio/Sauvignon Blanc/Merlot type stuff.

    Dry whites or champagne are the lowest - sauvignon blanc, chablis, pinot grigio.

    Look up champagnes if you like them, they are suppose to be lower calorie.

    Dry whites are your lowest, and sparkling wines. There are "lower calorie!" wines on the market, but they are also lower alcohol, so I would drink more LOL

    The last time I was in the liquor store they had a tasting table for a brand called Skinny Wine. It supposedly has fewer calories than "normal" wines, but I declined the free sample so I don't know if it is any good.

    I know of two brands one called Skinny Girl(its the Bethany Franklin one)which is 80 calories don't remember the exact amount. Also one called Skinny Grape also 80 calories again don't remember the exact serving size but i have tried both an they are fairly nice size glasses. Here in Canada I get them at my local LCBO.

    Most wines have roughly 100 cal per serving (which I believe is 5oz)
