Hi Everyone, I know that drinking red wine is better than drinking beer but does anyone know the carb count for a glass of red wine?? so I know when I can drink one, thanks, Debra :wave_cry:
Here is a list of popular red wines and their carbohydrate count:
Cabernet Sauvignon – A five ounce glass contains around six grams of carbohydrates.
Burgundy – For your run-of-the-mill burgundy, five ounces will get you about five and a half grams of carbs.
Pinot Noir – A nice five ounce glass of Pinot nets around three grams of carbs.
Shiraz/Syrah – Five ounces gets you four grams of carbs.
Sangiovese – Five ounces of this Italian favorite yields around four grams of carbohydrates.
If you notice a bit of a pattern here, you aren't wrong. As a general rule, the bigger bodied the wine, the higher the carb count. The lighter bodied the wine, the lower the carb count.
I've found that alcohol seems to really slow my metabolism. Last time I had a drink (a slimline G&T) my weight stayed the same for 3 days. I've not dared have another one as I've been losing weight steadily ever since LOL
