    Which Wine Would You Choose… and How Many Calories Would You Swap for It?

    Ever wondered how many calories are in your glass of wine?

    • 175ml red (14%) ≈ 175 calories
    • 175ml white (12.5%) ≈ 150 calories
    • 125ml Prosecco/Champagne (11%) ≈ 90 calories

    For context:One McVitie’s Digestive (plain or chocolate) is around 70 to 85 calories.

    Alcohol level and sweetness matter, not all glasses are created equal.

    Worth knowing, not worth stressing.

    So, what’s your favourite wine… and how many biscuits would you swap it for?
