Head to head
Bellini and Kir side by side: what changes in the recipe, the balance, the strength and the calories.
The difference, by the numbers
They have no ingredient in common: the Bellini has white peach purée and sparkling wine, the Kir crème de cassis and dry white wine. In parts, a Bellini is 1 peach and 2 bubbles; a Kir is 1 cassis and 9 wine. By volume, the Bellini is 100% mixer and juice; the Kir is 90% mixer and juice and 10% liqueur. Different bottles, similar balance: that makes them close cousins on the ratio map.
The Kir is the stronger drink in the glass (12.4% ABV against 7.3%), but being smaller it holds about the same alcohol (0.68 and 0.70 standard drinks). Calories are close (about 101 and 94), but the Bellini has more sugar (7.0 g against 4.5 g). The Bellini is stirred and served in a flute; the Kir is built and served in a wine glass.
