Calories in Red Wine
Don't worry about calories in red wine: even if you're dieting, you can drink a glass a day.
Theose in a glass of 4 fl oz are similar to those of a big apple. Of course they give you different intakes, but this comparison shows you that it can be dealed inside a weight loss diet. Considering the Italian usual serving (120ml/4 fl oz), it gives you about 90 calories...not that much! Of course you should not drink 3 glasses instead of having lunch or dinner, but it can be easily added to your diet giving you that extra pleasure so welcome while dieting.

"...But it was during the Roman era that this beverage became popular throughout society. In Roman cities wine bars were set up on almost every street, and the Romans exported wine and wine-making to the rest of Europe. Soon, its production and quality in other regions rivaled that of Rome herself: in A.D. 92, Emperor Domitian decreed that all of the vines in the Cahors region (near Bordeaux) be pulled out, ostensibly in favor of the wheat cultivation the empire so desperately needed, but possibly also to quell the competition with Italian exports."
