Average energy content for alcoholic beverages
Step 1 Enter the alcohol content of your product
The alcohol content of your product
can be entered as either: g per 100 g
OR percentage alcohol by volume (%ABV) with a specific gravity.
If you know the alcohol content in g per 100 g, enter it below.
If you know the alcohol content by %ABV enter it below, along with the product’s specific gravity.
Step 2 Calculate energy content per 100 g (kJ/100 g)
Enter the average quantity of the below (if present/applicable) in g per 100 g. All components listed in Schedule 11 of the Food Standards Code have been included as options to make sure no contributions to energy are missed. Most products will not contain all of these components. If your product does not contain a component, leave a zero in that box.
Step 3 Convert energy in kJ per 100 g to kJ per 100 mL
If you entered %ABV and specific gravity in Step 1, specific gravity has been automatically populated below. Click 'Next' to move to Step 4.
Otherwise, enter the product’s specific gravity.
Step 4 Calculate energy in kJ per serving in mL
Step 5 Calculate number of standard drinks per serving
Based on the information you entered, the average energy content of your alcoholic beverage is provided below.
