Refraction is merely one of several possible boundary behaviors by which a light wave could behave when it encounters a new medium or an obstacle in its path. The transmission of light across a boundary between two media is accompanied by a change in both the speed and wavelength of the wave. The light wave not only changes directions at the boundary, it also speeds up or slows down and transforms into a wave with a larger or a shorter wavelength.
Each varietal of red wine has a slightly different calorie content. According to the USDA, an average red table wine contains 125 calories for every 5 fl oz, or approximately 625 calories in a bottle. Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon have 122 calories in 5 fl oz, or 610 calories per bottle. A Pinot Noir has slightly fewer calories -- 121 calories in 5 fl oz, or 605 calories per bottle.
Here's a big red wine that I was sure would have as many calories as Monastrell. And yet there are less than 10 calories per serving in a glass of Pinot Noir. Granted, 10 calories isn't a lot. There are only 8.3 percent more calories in a glass of Monastrell versus a glass of Pinot Noir.ccording to the USDA, Monastrell wines contain 130 calories and 3.9 grams of carbohydrates per glass. The same USDA web site states that wine has 123 calories per 5 ounce glass. But there are many more wines with more or less calories.
