What causes the difference

The amount is the same, but calories per 100 g differ.

Wine: Red wine dry → Red wine sweet
  • Same grape, same glass: sweet red carries heavy residual sugar (over 45 g per liter) on top of the alcohol, nearly doubling the calories of a dry pour.
  • Alcohol already costs 7 kcal per gram in both glasses — sugar is the only dial you actually control when ordering wine.
