Hard seltzers have fewer calories than white wine.

Answer: True.

A typical can of hard seltzer contains 12 ounces and has approximately 100 calories. A typical serving of wine is 5 ounces, and according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, has approximately 120 calories (if it’s white) and 127 calories (if it’s red).
