Tag: Sherry calories

While standard dry wines typically hover around 120 calories per 5-ounce glass, fortified wines like sherry can have a significantly higher caloric density. This raises the question for many health-conscious consumers: is sherry more fattening than wine? The answer lies in key differences in production, particularly alcohol content and residual sugar.

Most wines contain between 100 and 130 calories per 5-ounce glass, according to the USDA, while a standard 3-ounce serving of fortified sherry can vary widely based on sweetness. This makes the calorie question surprisingly complex.
