Wine: Dry red wine → Red wine sweet
  • The sweet red shown contains more than 45 g of residual sugar per liter, making the same-size pour nearly twice as caloric as the dry wine.
  • Alcohol contributes 7 kcal per gram in both wines. The residual sugar explains the rest of the difference between these two pours.
