SIDE NOTE: When you see wines advertising zero sugar keep in mind that most all wine has little to no sugar. There is still some residual sugar that may remain, and while it isn’t much to speak of, the carbs in wine come from unfermented sugar. The process of fermentation removes virtually all carbs. *0-4 grams based on a standard glass of wine which is typically 5 ounces and up to 20 g/L of residual sugar for noticeably sweet wines while dry wines will mostly have less than 2 g/L RS and 0 carbs, or carb contents too small to measure. So how many carbs are in a glass of wine?Ī glass of wine contains anywhere from 0-4 grams of net carbohydrates.* This means that even a very low-carb nutrition plan does not have to be devoid of your favorite wine. A healthy nutrition plan contains at least some carbohydrates and will convert glucose from other sources in the absence of carbs. However, carbohydrates and fats both provide our bodies energy. Carbs get a bad rap, because they are more calorie dense and it is much easier to stay in a calorie deficit on a high protein, moderate fat, and low carbohydrate diet. So while you technically could eat only donuts while maintaining a calorie deficit and potentially lose weight, your body would not receive all the nutrients it requires for a normal healthy function. Of course, that is the short version.Īn apple and a donut do not share the same nutrient density. So, excess calories equates to calories stored while a calorie deficit equates to stored calories burned. Our bodies burn calories throughout the day and the calories that are not burned are stored as fat. Nutrients such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates all contain calories. ALL fruits and vegetables contain carbs! In a nutshell our bodies need nutrients to survive. Most of us remember being told by a more responsible adult at some point in our life that we need to eat our fruits and vegetables.
There are many nutrient dense carbs that provide health benefits. Carbohydrates are not necessarily the enemy. Let’s take a closer look at what is really going on with alcohol and our health.įirst thing is first.
If health is important to you, you can create a balanced nutrition plan without giving up the wines you love. Wine is naturally low-carb, but that doesn’t mean you can stop reading here! Alcohol is metabolized a little differently in our bodies than other foods.
