A 130ml flute of generic Prosecco runs about 120 calories, or roughly 92 per 100ml.
A sortable table of 19 drinks and cocktails compares Prosecco by sweetness level against Champagne, Cava, still wine, beer, spirits, and popular cocktails.

A 130ml flute of generic Prosecco runs about 120 calories, or roughly 92 per 100ml. Sweetness level moves that figure more than most people expect: a bone-dry Brut Nature and a sweet Demi-Sec can differ by close to 20 calories a glass on residual sugar alone. The table below breaks Prosecco out by sweetness, then lines it up against Champagne, Cava, still wine, beer, spirits, and common cocktails.
Sort and compare.
All 19 drinks and cocktails in the full dataset, 11 figures per row: calories, carbs, and sugar per 100ml and per typical serving. Click a column header to sort; hover a header for what it means. Values marked with ~ are estimated or scaled, not directly measured — see Method and Gaps below.

Method
Searched USDA FoodData Central directly first: its search UI is a client-rendered SPA that WebFetch cannot execute, and the public api.nal.usda.gov DEMO_KEY returned HTTP 429 (rate-limited, ~11.7hr retry-after) on the first and only call attempted. Fell back to MyFoodData and NutritionValue.org, which both mirror USDA SR Legacy/Branded/FNDDS records; MyFoodData pages blocked direct WebFetch with HTTP 403 and were instead read through the r.jina.ai reader proxy. Every row traces to a URL actually fetched (listed above); FDC IDs or FNDDS survey codes are recorded where the mirror page displayed one. USDA has no entry specifically named “Champagne” or “Cava” in any database checked, so both rows reuse the generic FNDDS “Wine, sparkling” (93401005) record. The 7 Prosecco sweetness-level rows are computed, not measured: Consorzio DOC residual-sugar bands (fetched from prosecco.wine) were converted to calories via standard Atwater factors (ethanol 6.9 kcal/g, sugar 4 kcal/g) at an assumed 11.5% ABV. Ran 12 distinct web searches plus ~25 WebFetch calls (including 2 r.jina.ai proxy reads for 403’d pages) to source, verify, and cross-check every figure.
