1 cup (medium) of Red dry wine (150 g) has 128 calories. That works out to 85 calories per 100 g. It contains 3.9 g of carbs, 0.2 g of protein, 0 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its 0.2 mg of Manganese covers 7% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 40 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Red dry wine is made by fermenting dark grapes, usually with their skins, and is produced in wine-growing regions around the world. “Dry” means it has little residual sweetness; the grape variety and winemaking style shape its colour, aroma and body.
Expect flavours that can range from fresh berries and cherries to spice or earthy notes, with a fuller, sometimes gently tannic feel than many white wines. It is commonly served with meals, especially dishes such as roasted vegetables, pasta, meat and cheese, or enjoyed on its own. Red dry wine is relatively low in sugar and contains grape polyphenols, but it is still an alcoholic drink. For a lighter serving, pour a small glass and enjoy it alongside food.

An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

No, red dry wine should not be considered a health drink. It contains polyphenols, but alcohol is linked to health risks, including cancer; its antioxidant content does not cancel those risks.
“Dry” means red dry wine is not noticeably sweet, because most of the grape sugar has fermented into alcohol. It can still contain a small amount of residual sugar, so dry does not mean sugar-free.
Store unopened red dry wine in a cool, dark place away from temperature swings. Keep a cork-sealed bottle on its side so the cork stays moist; a screw-cap bottle can stand upright.
Yes, red dry wine works well in braises, stews, and pan sauces. Its acidity and savory fruit notes add depth; avoid heavily oaked or poor-quality wine if its flavor would dominate the dish.
No, red dry wine does not always need decanting. Decanting can help a young, tannic wine open up and separates sediment from an older bottle, but simply pouring it into a glass is fine for most wines.
No, red dry wine is not a reliable sleep aid. Alcohol may make you feel drowsy at first, but it can disrupt sleep later in the night and reduce sleep quality.
Yes, red dry wine can cause a hangover because it contains alcohol. The amount consumed is a major factor, and red wine’s other compounds may bother some people; drinking water does not prevent alcohol-related harm.
Red dry wine can stain teeth because its dark pigments cling to tooth surfaces, and its acidity can make staining easier. Rinsing with water afterward helps clear residue; wait before brushing to avoid scrubbing acid-softened enamel.
No, there is no known safe amount of red dry wine during pregnancy. Alcohol can affect fetal development, so avoiding it throughout pregnancy is the safest choice.
Usually, red dry wine is best served slightly cool rather than warm or refrigerator-cold. Excess warmth can make the alcohol seem more prominent, while serving it too cold can mute its aroma and flavor.
