About this calculator

This calculator uses the two main energy components of wine: alcohol and residual sugar.

Formula used:

kcal = (alcohol × 0.789 × 7) + (sugar/1000 × 100 × 4) + 1.5

Where:

  • Alcohol: ABV in % vol
  • 0.789: Ethanol density
  • 7: Kilocalories per gram of alcohol
  • Sugar: Residual sugar in g/l
  • 4: Kilocalories per gram of sugar
  • +1.5: Additional calories from other components

This is a simplified calculator valid mainly for still wines.
