Barefoot Pinot Noir

There are about 121 calories per five ounces of Barefoot Pinot Noir—and five ounces is equivalent to a standard wine pour. 121 calories per glass is just a little more than most spiked seltzers on the market (which generally have about 100 calories per can) and in line (or a little more) than most light beers. While this red wine may be more caloric than some of the other alcoholic beverages on the market, you are probably more likely to sip this wine slowly over a longer period of time. This means you’ll probably consume the same amount of calories, whether you are reaching for a glass or two of wine or a couple of light beers.

There are 3.4 carbs per five-ounce glass of Barefoot Pinot Noir, and the average person needs to consume at the very least 130 carbs per day (and upward of 200!), so this glass of wine is just a small percentage of your daily allotment of carbs. Beyond its low-carb nature, Barefoot Pinot Noir is a fat-free beverage and very low in sugar. This wine is a nice option for people looking to watch their carbs and fat intake. When compared to beer, this wine is a low-carb option. While some beers are also low-carb, beers like IPAs and porters are much more carb-heavy.

No—Barefoot Pinot Noir is not sweet. In fact, it is categorized as a medium-dry red wine made with red-wine grapes known as pinot noir grapes. In general, pinot noir is traditionally a medium-dry (and even very dry!) variety of red wine that is great to drink when eating lamb, pork, beef, and pasta, and Barefoot’s Pinot Noir happily falls into this category. This wine is also an easy-drinking wine. It’s light-bodied and delicious and is known for its exciting, bright fruit flavor profile, which consists of dark cherry, berries, and spice flavors, along with its silky finish.

Barefoot Pinot Noir is a well-known and well-loved wine for many people, which makes it an exciting and fun gift for a loved one—they’ll likely be familiar with the bright fruit taste, and it may even be a wine they already turn to often. It’s drinkable, approachable, and something your loved one will want to share with houseguests, friends ... or keep the bottle for themselves.
