How Many Calories Are in This Glass of Wine?
She asked with the same look you give your phone after a third unanswered text.
Worried. Curious. A little bit sorry.
“How many calories are in this glass of wine?”
And the sommelier smiled—like someone who’s been asked that 3,000 times and still believes in mystery.
“Somewhere between ‘don’t ask’ and ‘worth every sip.’”
Because that’s the truth, isn’t it?
Wine isn’t a number. It’s a moment.
A slow pour of something that doesn't belong in the math of your day.
It’s a little rebellion. A soft reward.
A sweet, fermented “who cares” wrapped in red or rosé.
Yes, we could tell you it’s 120 to 130 calories, depending on the pour.
But why reduce romance to a stat line?
You didn’t come here for a calorie count.
You came for a glass of “I made it through the day.”
You came for one perfect sip that doesn’t ask anything of you except:
Do you want more?
So here’s to asking the real questions:
Is it dry? Is it bold? Is it me?
And here’s to answering them with another pour.
