Ros\u00e9 wine<\/strong> is a summer staple: a well-established favourite when it comes to long, sunny days and vacation. You spend all year working out and eating right, so what could be better than sitting on an idyllic Spanish or French beach, sipping a ros\u00e9? Not much, unless you consider that your delicious ros\u00e9 may have more calories than you think, and negatively affecting your hard-earned beach bod! Well, is that really the case? Let\u2019s look a little deeper in order to find out.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are ros\u00e9 wine calories higher than other wine calories?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Not necessarily, no. In fact, wine itself does not have inherently more calories than other types of alcohol. It will vary widely and depend on a number of factors. Your ros\u00e9 wine<\/strong> calories will come from the alcohol and residual sugar in the wine.<\/a> You might be surprised to learn that it is the alcohol, and not the sugar, that has more calories – though both add up. Without getting too deep into the nutritional values, let\u2019s say that as a general rule<\/span> wines with high alcohol and high sugar will have the highest calories<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s be clear, there are calories in alcohol, and <\/span>wine calories<\/span><\/a> can add up: It is estimated that a standard glass of wine of around 13% alcohol can contain as much 160 calories, the equivalent of a slice of cake in some cases. This is something to keep in mind, certainly, though it doesn\u2019t mean that you cannot enjoy a glass or two of ros\u00e9 wine (or any other wine for that matter) in moderation.<\/span><\/p>\n

So how do ros\u00e9 wine calories stack up?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For the calorie conscious ros\u00e9 wine lover, consider dry ros\u00e9 wines<\/a> that are relatively low in alcohol. There is no hard and fast rule that says your ros\u00e9 will be any higher (or lower) in alcohol (or sugar) than any other wine, so it will be worthwhile to take a little time to read the fine print on your wine labels. If you are seriously concerned about calories in your food and drink, it is best to consult a qualified professional such as a nutritionist.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ros\u00e9 wines to try<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One region to consider is the <\/span>C\u00f4te de Provence<\/span><\/a> in France. This region is famous for its ros\u00e9 wines, and you can find some high quality examples that are relatively low in alcohol, too.<\/span><\/p>\n
