Champagne and wine are both alcoholic beverages that result from the fermentation of grapes. Produced in the Champagne region of France, champagne is technically a sparkling wine. Champagne and wine derive most of their calories from alcohol and carbohydrates.
Calories
A 4-oz. glass of champagne provides approximately 106 calories, says Esther Blum, registered dietician and author of "Eat, Drink and Be Gorgeous." A 5-oz. glass of white table wine contains 121 calories, while a similarly sized serving of red table wine provides 125 calories per glass, reports the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Nutrient Database.
Features
A glass of white table wine gets its calories from 0.10 g of protein, 3.82 g of carbohydrates, 1.41 g of sugar and 15.1 g of ethyl alcohol. A glass of red table wine acquires its calories from 0.10 g of protein, 3.84 g of carbohydrates, less than 1 g of sugar and 15.6 g of ethyl alcohol.
Considerations
Drinking champagne or wine on a regular basis can drastically increase your intake of calories. Cut your weekly consumption of champagne and wine by 25 percent to help shed unwanted pounds, recommends Marissa Lippert, author of "The Cheater's Diet."
