Wine, like any type of alcohol, contains extra calories that our bodies don't typically use for energy. The calories from alcohol are easily stored as body fat, which then causes weight gain. Sweeter wines are higher in sugar and thus have more calories than dry wines. The higher the alcohol content of a wine, the higher the calories.

hasss it got calories??????????
YES....yes it does...then overindulging will result in weight gain....unless counter measures are taken
think about it....its only common sense
If you are not doing anything to burn off all that sugar you're drinking in the wine, then yes, you might gain weight.
One 750 ml bottle of dry wine has almost 600 calories. So when they say, "based on 2,000 calories a day" on nutrition information labels, three bottles a week is almost a full day's calories.
