Is wine fattening?!
There's generally none or very little fat in any alcohol, for that matter, provided that you are not drinking some drink blended with ice cream or another fattening additive. It's the calories that you need to be concerned about, and all alcohol contains a lot of calories (almost as much as fat). In fact, it's always the calories you need to be concerned about unless you're looking at cardiovascular health or something else related to fat intake (but now with Atkins and all, there's a lot of argument that fat consumption isn't related to cardiovascular health).
Wine is generally one of the lower calorie alcoholic drinks - around 90-100 calories per glass. You can easily find the caloric content of different types of alcohol and beer listed online. Straight spirits (e.g., just vodka, or just rum) are lower in calories than mixed drinks and are on par with wine; light beers have less calories than other beer; etc.
The sweeter the wine, the more sugar it probably has. You can drink a dry white wine and it'll contain very little calories, but watch out for things like white zinfandel and champagne. This website has the calories of various types of wine listed (by the bottle, so don't freak out):

Also be aware that some people claim that alcohol is more "fattening" than other calories. This article argues that the calories in alcohol are actually worse for you than calories in general because alcohol can be absorbed through mucous membranes, thereby skipping the regular digestive process:

Answers: Technically, no, wine is fattening because it doesn't have any fat in it. But it does have calories, and calories make you gain weight.

if you drink it by the vat
it's just grapes, so no
well i hope not....... : )
no chubby
it's less fattening than lager
Its heavy on sugar content, thus, heavy on the calories , the average being 110 to 150 calories per glass.
Wine has calories and if you drink a lot of it, you can gain weight. Moderation is the key.
if it has artificial sugars
It's less fattening than mixed drinks, more calories (per ounce) than beer. It's about 100 calories per 4 ounce glass. Alcohol turns to sugar, so it is somewhat empty calories. But a glass or two of red wine is good for the heart. Just don't drink a lot of it and get the munchies.
A 4-oz glass of wine contains roughly 100 calories (some types are higher in calories than others). Calories convert to fat if it is not exercised off. So ... sadly ... yes by association.
no, its actually one of the healthiest things to drink.
About 90 calories in a 5 ounce glass. Calories well spent in my book...
any un used calories can turn to fat. Wine has no fat content nor does hard alchohol or Beer but if you don't do anything about the caloric intake yes it will turn to fat.
It has calorific value so yes it can be. If the calories you consume exceed the calories you use up during your daily activities then you'll gain weight.
Only if you swallow it.
It depends on the foods you're washing down!

Yes, wine is fattening. The alcohol is metabolized into sugar in your body. In moderation it is healthy e.g. red wine
