750ml bottle of low alcohol moscato.
76 cals per 100ml.

76 ÷ 100 = 7.6 x 750 = 5700

Is that really correct?

I have found a wine I really like, please tell me my calculations are wrong 🙏 😂

No its just 76x7.5 which is 570 calories 🥳

VeryGoodVeryNiceChickenNugget · 25/05/2024 18:35

But isn't it 7.5 cals per ml?

Your error is 75/100 = 0.76

VeryGoodVeryNiceChickenNugget · 25/05/2024 18:35

Sorry, 7.6 calls per ml and the bottle is 750ml.

Ahh fantastic, 570 is still a lot though. I'd be better off thinking it was 5700 because I wouldn't go near it again 😂

76/100 = 0.76, not 7.6

570 is pretty low for a whole bottle! Assuming you wouldn’t drink the whole bottle anyway.

Yeah the full alcohol version is 176 cals per 100ml.

Unfortunately I would end up drinking the whole bottle, which is why I try to stick to low alcohol now when I do rarely drink.

@VeryGoodVeryNiceChickenNugget if you rarely drink, and it's only 570 calories for a bottle you enjoy, I think it's fine. Low alcohol too, a bonus.
