Calories

Relax Riesling wine has about 120 calories in a 5-ounce serving. Relax red has about 125 calories in a 5-ounce glass.

Carbohydrates

Most of the calories from wines come from carbohydrates. Relax red wine has about 4 g of carbohydrates per 5-ounce serving, while the Riesling has about 5.5 g.

Fat

The calories in wine do not come from fat. Neither red nor Riesling contain any fat. Even a cup of grapes contains less than 1 g of fat. However, while a small portion of alcohol converts to fat in your body, most of the alcohol converts to acetate in your liver. Acetate replaces fat as a source of fuel for your body, so the calories in Relax wines, and other alcoholic beverages, decrease your ability to burn fat, contributing to weight gain.
