17 of the best low calorie wine for 2022 - and where to buy it

Enjoy our fantastic selection of low calorie wine. We have included our favourite red, white, rosé, and prosecco low cal options.

Calories in wine come in two guises. Those in the alcohol: each gram of alcohol contains seven calories. And those in the sugar that’s either a leftover from the fermentation process or in the case of some wines, such as champagne, added after to give the wine a sweeter flavour.

Some wines are very calorific, so even just a few glasses soon add up. One standard-sized glass of wine typically contains about 130 calories. The NHS website points out that “drinking four bottles of wine a month adds up to a yearly consumption of around 27,000kcal, which is equivalent to eating 48 Big Macs per year.”

Establishing the calories that are in a glass can be tricky as this information is not often easy to find out. Unlike food, wine doesn't always have nutritional information displayed on the packaging. So like our low calorie beer (opens in new tab) collection, we have rounded up some of the best low calorie wine available to buy online (opens in new tab)...

Low calorie wine

1. Tesco Low Alcohol Cabernet Tempranillo

Calories: 37 per glass (125ml) | ABV: 5%

Delivering the punch of flavour of a rich full Spanish red, but none of the alcohol. Enjoy it with one of our favourite low calorie meals (opens in new tab) like squash risotto or stuffed peppers.

Average price: £2.75 per 75cl bottle

2. Walt Riesling LØ

Calories: 4 per glass (125ml) | ABV: 0.5%

German Reisling has become so popular over the last few years. The Riesling grape is grown in the cooler climate of Germany or Austria so makes a lovely crisp dry wine. This Walt Riesling LØ is made using a traditional method before the alcohol is carefully removed to preserve the great Resiling flavour. We loved the toasty honey aroma and the sweet fresh flavour. The wine is sweet but acidic and would pair beautifully with cheese and shellfish.

Average price: £8.89 per bottle

3. Vidiano Natural wine

Calories: 84 per glass (125ml) | ABV: 12.5%

This sensational biodynamic wine is produced on the Corelli Wine Domaine Paterianakis on the island of Crete. It’s organic and doesn’t have any sulphates added. Sulphates are often the cause of hangovers so this could be a hangover-free wine? I guess it’s worth a shot!

In fact, it’s one of the best we tasted, this wine has a complex flavour. We picked up aromas of apple and honey, but it also has a refreshing finish. It would pair well with chicken and fish. Despite being having only 84 calories in a glass it certainly doesn’t compromise on flavour.

Average price: £25.50 per bottle

6. Oddbird Sparkling Rosé

Calories: 19 per glass (125ml) | ABV: 0%

Another lovely French rosé, but this time with the alcohol removed so everyone can enjoy it. Oddbird Sparkling Rosé is described as having “Sophisticated tones of Granny Smith apple, Citrus and Summer berries. With a very fresh taste of berry with a touch of sweetness; there are hints of strawberries, red currants, and citrus.”

Oddbird wines are made using traditional methods and then matured for up to 12 months before the alcohol is then carefully removed to preserve the taste. Founder of Oddbird, Moa Gürbüzer’s worked as a social worker where she witnessed first-hand the detrimental effects of alcohol. So she’s on a mission to transform and liberate our drinking culture.

7. Sainsbury's Fronton Negrette Rosé, Taste The Difference

Calories: 88 per glass (125ml) | ABV: 12.5%

A dry and crisp French rosé that’s perfect for hot days. In the height of summer, we love to serve this wine in a large glass with ice as they do on the French Riviera. In France, they refer to a glass of rosé with ice as a “Rosé piscine”, which translates to rosé swimming pool. We are impressed that this bottle is just 88 calories in a glass while still having a high alcohol content and tasting full-bodied.
