Beer vs wine
A half litre of beer has about 215 kcal, a 150 ml glass of wine about 125. Glass for glass, wine wins, but per millilitre they are close.
The difference
90 kcal
Beer gets its calories from alcohol and the sugar left from the grain, wine mostly from alcohol. A pint is simply a lot more drink than a glass.
If you order wine by the bottle and beer by the half litre, it evens out fast: a bottle of wine is about 625 kcal, three halves of beer 645.
Either way, the snacks next to it usually count for more than the drink.
