One serving of wine typically provides an average of 125 calories, according to the USDA. If you could still enjoy a glass of vino while knocking the calorie count down, how would that sound? Many dietitians have already discovered wine varieties that are made with natural ingredients and provide fewer calories than traditional wines — around 100 calories per serving.
Vineyards are making interesting blends like Oliver Winery Blueberry Moscado ($12), which is made with real blueberry juice to give it a fruity flavour without overwhelming the drink with sugar or artificial ingredients. These varieties have a lower alcohol by volume (ABV) than a standard wine, but they are just as satisfying. Typically, the higher the ABV, the higher the calories. But when you're enjoying a glass guilt-free on your deck, who cares that the alcohol content is a touch lower? Cheers!
