The simple truth about calories in wine is that, yes there are calories in wine. Indeed, unless the product you are eating is almost entirely made up of water or man-made chemicals there are indeed calories in all the foods and drinks that we consume. It is fair to assume that however the world got here it was designed that way. Without calories one cannot survive and it has been proved that one can most certainly not survive on love alone.
