For many consumers, wine is perceived as less &#8220;dangerous&#8221; than other alcoholic drinks. For <strong>industry professionals<\/strong>, however, it is often <strong>a daily work companion<\/strong>, especially in tasting contexts. But <strong>does wine really make you gain weight?<\/strong> And, above all, <strong>how does it affect metabolism?<\/strong>   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To answer this, it is necessary to move beyond purely caloric logic and look at the <strong>physiological effects of alcohol<\/strong>, as nutritionist biologist Umberto Rossi explains to Winemag. The premise is illustrative: &#8220;<strong>Those in wine\u2014he explains\u2014are &#8217;empty calories&#8217;<\/strong>, meaning <strong>calories not supported by nutrients<\/strong>. Wine provides energy, with calories from alcohol and sugars. But almost no useful nutrients (<strong>proteins, fibers, vitamins, or minerals<\/strong>): therefore, calories that &#8216;fill&#8217; but do not nourish.&#8221;   <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-dc9d0ea0\"><h5 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">THE <strong>&#8220;EMPTY CALORIES&#8221; OF WINE<\/strong><\/h5><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A glass of wine provides an average of <strong>between 70 and 90 calories<\/strong>, depending on the alcohol content and residual sugar. A value that, taken in isolation, may seem modest. However, alcohol has a unique characteristic: it provides energy without nutritional value and is metabolized with priority over other macronutrients.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The body\u2014explains Umberto Rossi\u2014considers <strong>alcohol a toxic substance to be disposed of quickly<\/strong>. When we drink wine, the liver temporarily stops the oxidation of fats and sugars to focus on eliminating the alcohol. This favors the accumulation of nutrients introduced with the meal.&#8221; In other words, the problem is not just how many calories wine provides, but <strong>how it interferes with the metabolic fate of other foods<\/strong>.   <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-74fac1f0\"><h5 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><strong>ALCOHOL AND FAT ACCUMULATION: THE ROLE OF METABOLISM<\/strong><\/h5><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several studies indicate that regular alcohol consumption can <strong>promote an increase in fat mass, particularly at the abdominal level<\/strong>. An effect known especially among those who consume wine frequently. Even in moderate amounts.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Alcohol stimulates lipogenesis and reduces the body&#8217;s ability to use fats as an energy source,&#8221; observes Rossi. &#8220;Over time\u2014he continues\u2014<strong>this mechanism can contribute to weight gain<\/strong>, especially if associated with a sedentary lifestyle.&#8221; It is not, therefore, an immediate weight gain, but <strong>a gradual process, often underestimated<\/strong>. Which can become evident in the medium-to-long term.   <\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-post-carousel uagb-post-grid  uagb-post__image-position-top uagb-post__image-enabled uagb-block-dc03ea73     uagb-post__arrow-outside uagb-slick-carousel uagb-post__items uagb-post__columns-1 is-carousel uagb-post__columns-tablet-2 uagb-post__columns-mobile-1\" data-total=\"3\" style=\"\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<article class=\"uagb-post__inner-wrap\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='uagb-post__image'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.winemag.it\/en\/dealcoholized-wine-less-alcohol-but-is-more-sugar-better\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.winemag.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Vino-dealcolato-meno-alcol-ma-piu-zucchero-e-bello.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Vino dealcolato meno alcol ma pi\u00f9 zucchero \u00e8 bello\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.winemag.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Vino-dealcolato-meno-alcol-ma-piu-zucchero-e-bello.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.winemag.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Vino-dealcolato-meno-alcol-ma-piu-zucchero-e-bello-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"uagb-post__title uagb-post__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.winemag.it\/en\/dealcoholized-wine-less-alcohol-but-is-more-sugar-better\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"bookmark noopener noreferrer\">Dealcoholized wine: less alcohol but is more sugar better?<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='uagb-post__text uagb-post-grid-byline'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"uagb-post__author\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"dashicons-admin-users dashicons\"><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.winemag.it\/en\/author\/davide-bortone\/\" rel=\"author\">Davide Bortone<\/a>\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<time datetime=\"2026-02-23T13:28:38+01:00\" class=\"uagb-post__date\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"dashicons-calendar dashicons\"><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t23 February 2026\t\t\t\t<\/time>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='uagb-post__text uagb-post__excerpt'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>IN BREVE Dealcoholized wines may appear lower in calories, but they often contain more sugar than traditional dry wines.
