低热量葡萄酒值得吗?

低热量葡萄酒值得吗?

If you're counting calories, a glass of wine might be your alcoholic beverage of choice, as it's a lighter option than many other mixed drinks.
如果你在计算卡路里，一杯葡萄酒可能是你的酒精饮料的选择，因为它比许多其他混合饮料更简单的选择。

Reduced-calorie wines can save you even more calories, perhaps enough to earn a few bites of cheese or chocolate. Of course, you have to also ask yourself: Are you actually enjoying it?

低卡路里的葡萄酒可以为你节省更多的卡路里，也许足以让你吃上几口奶酪或巧克力。当然，你也要问问自己:你真的很享受吗?

The savings

储量

Depending on the variety, reduced-calorie wines have about 15% to 30% fewer calories than regular wine. For example, at 90 calories per 5-ounce glass, FitVine's lower-calorie white wines have 25% fewer calories than a glass of regular white table wine, which has about 120 calories.

根据品种的不同，低热量葡萄酒的热量比普通葡萄酒低15%到30%。例如，FitVine的低卡路里白葡萄酒每5盎司含90卡路里，比普通白葡萄酒低25%，普通白葡萄酒约含120卡路里。

If you are sticking to current recommendations for moderate drinking -- that is, limiting yourself to one or two glasses of wine each day -- you would be saving 30 to 60 calories a day. In the case of Skinnygirl wine, you save even less: about 20 to 25 calories per glass. Overall, that's not a huge savings for something that is considered an indulgence.

如果你坚持目前建议的适度饮酒——也就是说，每天只喝一两杯葡萄酒——你每天就能减少30到60卡路里的热量。就瘦女孩葡萄酒而言，你节省的热量更少:每杯大约20到25卡路里。总的来说，对于被认为是放纵的东西来说，这并不是一个巨大的节省。

"If you're drinking two glasses of low-cal wine a day versus 'regular' wine, you've eliminated 60 calories out of an average 2,000-calorie diet. That's 3% of your total calorie intake. To me, that doesn't seem like enough of a calorie reduction to be concerned about, but I'm not a triathlete," said Dwayne Bershaw, who teaches winemaking classes in the Department of Food Science at Cornell University.

“如果你每天喝两杯低卡路里的葡萄酒，而不是‘普通’葡萄酒，你就从平均2000卡路里的饮食中减少了60卡路里。那是你总热量摄入的3%。对我来说，减少的卡路里量似乎不值得关注，但我不是一个三项全能运动员，“在康奈尔大学食品科学系教授酿酒课程的Dwayne Bershaw说。

Sugar is a hot topic these days, and some reduced-calorie wines claim to have practically no sugar at all. For example, FitVine claims its wines have less than 0.2 grams per 5-ounce glass. However, according to Bershaw, "there are many high-quality whites, and most reds, which contain very little residual sugar. So, from this perspective, these wines are just like many others on the market."

糖是这些天的热门话题，一些低卡路里的葡萄酒声称实际上根本不含糖。例如，FitVine声称其葡萄酒的每5盎司玻璃杯的重量不到0.2克。然而，根据Bershaw的说法，“有很多高品质的白葡萄酒，大部分是红葡萄酒，它们含有很少的残余糖。所以，从这个角度来看，这些葡萄酒就像市场上的许多其他葡萄酒一样。”

In fact, according to the US Department of Agriculture's national nutrient database, a 5-ounce glass of red table wine typically contains less than 1 gram of sugar, while a glass of white wine contains about 1.4 grams.
事实上，根据美国农业部的国家营养数据库，一杯5盎司的红葡萄酒通常含有不到1克的糖，而一杯白葡萄酒大约含有1.4克。

The more alcohol, the more calories
酒精越多，热量就越多

The way to reduce calories in wine is to lower the amount of alcohol, according to Bershaw. "Unless we are talking about overtly sweet wines, alcohol content is by far the largest driver of calories," he said.

Bershaw说，减少葡萄酒中卡路里的方法是降低酒精的含量。他说:“除非我们谈论的是明显甜的葡萄酒，否则酒精含量是迄今为止卡路里的最大驱动因素。”

But this creates a bit of mystery. FitVine's ABV (alcohol by volume, a measure of how much alcohol is in a given amount of a drink) ranges from 13.4% to 13.9%, similar to other wines, according to Bershaw. He is unsure why FitVine's reduced-calorie wines are lower in calories than other wines with a similar alcohol and sugar content.

但这也带来了一些神秘感。根据伯肖的说法，FitVine的ABV(酒精含量，衡量一种饮料中含有多少酒精的指标)从13.4%到13.9%不等，与其他葡萄酒类似。他不确定为什么FitVine的低热量葡萄酒比其他酒精和糖含量相似的葡萄酒的热量要低。

"Low-alcohol wines can be great-tasting wines, and they are usually more food friendly (pairing well with meals) than the high-alcohol wines that were popular five to 10 years ago" Bershaw said. "Plus, you can drink two or three glasses without feeling like you need to go to bed early."

伯肖说:“低酒精含量的葡萄酒口感很好，通常比5到10年前流行的高酒精含量的葡萄酒更适合搭配食物。”“此外，你可以喝两到三杯，而不会觉得自己需要早点睡觉。”
