Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) are supporting a move that would require all alcoholic drinks to be labelled with their calorie content. Food already has such labelling, but most alcohol drinks are presently exempt from the rule. A 250ml glass of 14% wine contains 230 calories, while a pint of 4% beer contains around 180. MEP Glenis Willmott said ” Europe is still the heaviest drinking region in the world, but many people don’t realise that a large glass of wine contains the same number of calories as a slice of cake”.
