About 7% of a 2,000 calorie day. Your own number is probably not 2,000 — the calculator works out what it should be.

Red wine has 147 calories per 175 ml glass. That is about 7% of a 2,000-calorie day. The same serving provides 0.1 g of protein, 4.6 g of carbohydrate, 0.0 g of fat and 0.0 g of fibre.

A large glass is roughly a third of a bottle — the pour matters more than the type.
