The vast majority of Champagnes you will come across will be dry, and these styles will be lower in calories because they are also lower in residual sugar.

Here are some styles of Champagne you may come across and their calorie count:

• Extra Brut Champagne - This extra dry style of Champagne will be the lowest in calories, around 65-80 calories per glass.
