Captain Ahab’s BodyBlog

My blog yesterday was about how a glass or two of our favorite wine or spirits could not only relax us but also be beneficial to our overall health and longevity and so I thought that today I would show the calorie content of a number of various wines. Since I live in what is often referred to as the “Napa Valley of the North,” I thought that it would be fitting to show the low amount of calories that are in each glass of wine so that when we are sitting back enjoying a glass we are not overly concerned about going off the fitness track. For those that are counting, all of these are the number of calories in a 4-ounce glass and are courtesy of an article written by freelance writer and wine aficionado Dawn Antle. Enjoy!
