Dry table wines contain about 125 calories per five ounce glass. That's not a lot if you only have one glass, but what fun is that? Lower alcohol or no alcohol wines will have fewer calories.
about 80 calories / glass |
Non-alcoholic wines are actually very low alcohol wine 0.5% alcohol or less) with about 50 calories per glass. Ariel, from California's Central Coast, makes a chardonnay and a cabernet. Sutter Home's Fre line of wines is another choice, plus there are others. These started out as "real" wine then had almost all the alcohol removed using a process called spinning cone. Often grape juice is added to further reduce the alcohol by volume.
I've never had any of these, so I can't vouch for the quality. I suppose the question is, do they taste at all like regular wine? Considering there's a big difference in a 15% ABV wine and a 13% wine, I'm guessing not. Try it yourself and decide. If you don't like them there are certainly other ways to cut back.
