Does wine differ from beer in terms of carbs or calories?
A. It depends. There are literally thousands of brands of beer and wine, and as you’ve seen in the nutritional list of 2,000 worldwide beers, carbohydrates and calories in these products vary. What might be surprising to many is that, ounce for ounce, the nutritional values for beer and wine are remarkably similar. The total carbohydrate and calorie counts depend on what constitutes an “average” serving. For beer, that is 12-ounces—for wine, 5 ounces. Ounce for ounce, the carb count for beer and wine is very similar.
