I don't drink wine often but when I do I like dessert (sweet) wines, of course, says the sugarholic. lol  My favorite is Chateau Morrisette's Sweet Mountain Laurel which is a sweet white wine.  Does it matter that it's a sweet wine even though it's white?  Is it still .9 net carbs or does it need to be a dry wine?  My hubby is really frustrated with me that I won't drink any since I started the program except my birthday weekend.  He likes our romantical nights to include wine. lol

It's always had to get actual numbers from wineries so I suggest you go by taste. If its a sweet dessert wine then chances are it has a sugar content from the fermentation process. According to the web this is the phone number for the winery- (540) 593-2865. Give them a call and ask them if they can give you a sugar count.

I always google anything I want to know carb count in. sauvignon blanc is my favoritr white wine.
I discovered on google it has about 3 carbs so that is what I go by.

I think it's rotten that alcoholic beverages aren't required to post nutritional information on their labels. What's up with that?

I'm not a big drinker, but my favorite beer is Moosehead and I see conflicting carb counts online. They list anywhere from 5 to 13 or so.

Over the past month while working on our home maintenance in the Florida Keys I added 1 can of Busch non alcoholic beer per day into my plan for a treat while working. I should'nt have done it

I GAINED 5 POUNDS!!! 

The beer didn't taste that darn good

Well, that just sucks. They need to come out with a diet beer.   I mean, one that actually tastes GOOD. I haven't been brave enough to try a Michelob Ultra yet. I could barely stand the regular one when I tasted it years ago. I might have to splurge and have a Moosehead while in Canada at Epcot ... but just one.
