Typically, however, the caloric content of wine is expressed in terms of a 120-milliliter glass, and beer - in a larger, at least 250-milliliter bottle. A small bottle of light whole beer (0.33 l) has 162 kcal, and a small bottle of full dark beer - 224 kcal. A large bottle (500 ml) of light beer is 245 kcal, and dark beer - 340 kcal. For comparison, the most caloric sweet white wine in one glass (120 ml) contains 114 kcal.
