Red Robin Wine Glass: Prices, Taste, Calories, and Is It Worth It?
A burger and fries is a classic order at Red Robin, but a lot of guests don't realize the wine list deserves just as much attention. Whether you're settling in for date night or grabbing a quick glass with lunch, the Red Robin wine glass menu has options that actually pair well with the bold, savory flavors this chain is known for. Here's everything you need to know before you order one.
What Is the Red Robin Wine Glass?
The Red Robin wine glass refers to any of the by-the-glass wine pours served at Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Brews locations that carry a liquor license. Instead of one single "house wine," Red Robin keeps a short, approachable list that covers the basics: a crisp white, a smooth red, a light rosé-style pour, and a fruit-forward sangria. The idea is simple. You shouldn't need a sommelier to order a decent glass of wine with your burger, and Red Robin keeps the list small enough that picking one takes about ten seconds.
Wine service does vary by location. Some Red Robin restaurants are full bar locations with a wider selection, while others stick to beer, wine, and a handful of cocktails. Local and state alcohol laws also play a role in what's poured near you, so it's worth a quick call to your neighborhood location if you're planning around a specific bottle or glass.

Taste Reviews: What Guests Actually Say
We pulled together common feedback from regular guests and online reviews to give you a real sense of what to expect in the glass, not just a marketing description.
"The Sangria Roja is sweeter than I expected, but it works so well with the spicier burgers. I'd order it again."
— Regular guest, Colorado location"House Chardonnay is fine, nothing fancy, but for a burger spot the pour is generous and the price is fair."
— Diner review"Grabbed the Josh Cellars Cabernet during Happy Hour and honestly it beat what I've paid double for elsewhere."
— Diner reviewThe general consensus: don't expect a fine-dining wine program, and you won't be disappointed. The reds tend to land better with the menu's heavier, smokier flavors, while the whites are a safer bet with salads and lighter chicken options.
Calories and Nutrition
Wine calories at Red Robin depend on the pour and the style, but here's a general breakdown so you can plan your meal around it.
| Wine Glass | Serving Size | Approx. Calories |
|---|---|---|
| House Chardonnay or Red Blend | 6 oz | ~120 – 135 cal |
| Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc | 6 oz | ~125 cal |
| Josh Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon | 9 oz | ~180 cal |
| Sangria Roja | 1 serving | ~250 cal |
If you're watching calories, a straight glass of Chardonnay or Cabernet is the lighter choice. The Sangria Roja runs higher because of the added fruit, brandy, and sugar, so it's more of a treat pour than an everyday order.
Best Burger Pairings for Each Wine Glass
This is where the Red Robin wine glass actually earns its spot on the menu. Matching the right pour to the right burger extras makes a real difference.
- Robust Red Blend or Cabernet — pairs well with the Whiskey River BBQ Burger, extra bacon, and smoky sauce add-ons. The tannins cut through the fat and BBQ sweetness nicely.
- Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc — a better match for the Grilled Chicken Sandwich, veggie patties, or a burger topped with fresh avocado and lettuce wraps.
- Sangria Roja — works surprisingly well with spicier options like a jalapeño or pepper jack topped burger, since the citrus and sweetness balance the heat.
- Pinot Grigio (where available) — a light, easy match for salads and lighter entrées when you want wine without weighing down the meal.
Is the Red Robin Wine Glass Worth Ordering?
For a casual burger chain, yes, it's a solid order. You're not paying for a fine wine list, you're paying for a fair, drinkable glass that fits the meal and doesn't break the budget. The Happy Hour pricing makes it an easy yes almost anywhere it's offered. If you're a serious wine drinker looking for something complex or rare, this isn't the destination, and that's fine. It's not trying to be.
Best bet: stick to Happy Hour timing when you can, and let the sauce and toppings on your burger guide whether you go red or white.
Copycat Red Robin-Style Sangria Roja Recipe
Want to recreate that fruity, brandy-kissed glass at home? This copycat version gets close to the real thing using ingredients you can find at any grocery store.
Ingredients
- 1 bottle (750 ml) dry red wine, such as Rioja or a Red Blend
- 1/3 cup brandy
- 1/4 cup orange liqueur (like triple sec)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar or simple syrup
- 1 orange, sliced into rounds
- 1 lemon, sliced into rounds
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, halved
- 1 cup club soda or lemon-lime soda
- Ice, for serving
Instructions
- In a large pitcher, combine the red wine, brandy, orange liqueur, and sugar. Stir until the sugar fully dissolves.
- Add the sliced orange, lemon, and strawberries to the pitcher and stir gently to combine.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight, so the fruit can soak up the wine flavor.
- Right before serving, stir in the club soda or lemon-lime soda for a light fizz.
- Fill glasses with ice, pour the sangria over the top, and spoon in a few pieces of the soaked fruit.
- Serve immediately alongside a burger, grilled chicken, or spicy appetizer for the closest match to the restaurant version.
Notes
For a less sweet pour, cut the sugar in half. If you like a stronger kick, add an extra splash of brandy right before serving instead of during the chilling step.
