Alcohol is a high calorie drink and wine is no exception. White wine, rosé wine, red wine… We reveal to you the type of wine that is the least fattening, the one that is the least caloric.
Beverages are sometimes calorie bombs, and this is particularly the case with alcohol, which contains many liquid calories that do not fill us up. Besides that, it’s also about calories empty, in other words calories that do not allow us to absorb vitamins or minerals essential to the proper functioning of our body. Although it is not the alcohol with the highest glycemic index and is lower in calories than alcoholic mixtures such as cocktails, wine therefore remains a drink that makes you fat.
Fortunately, if you are – like many French people – a wine lover, there is a way to reduce the number of calories absorbed by drinking a glass of wine: choose it well. Indeed, the number of calories in a glass of wine also depends on the type of wine consumed, as explained by the wine specialist Clusters on its website. According to the winegrowers of the site, it would be enough to drink the wine which obtains the “Palm of the lowest calorie wine”, that’s to say of… Champagne.
