Dessert wine has 152 kcal per 100 g — denser than table wine. The extra calories come from residual sugar plus alcohol. A 100 ml glass packs ~152 kcal. Both alcohol and sugar count, and the small serving size hides the impact. Track to the gram.
How should I track Alcoholic beverage, wine, dessert, dry?
Liquid calories from Alcoholic beverage, wine, dessert, dry are easy to overlook because drinks do not trigger the same fullness signals as solid food. A meta-analysis (Wehling & Lusher, Am J Clin Nutr 2021) confirmed that people underreport beverage intake more than solid food. Most people pour 30–50% more than the label serving size without realizing it. Use a kitchen scale to weigh your glass or bottle once — you will know your exact pour going forward. This one calibration step can save you from hundreds of untracked calories per week.
