What would you recommend? thanks!!!

Answer
Hello,

In average dry table wine, carbohydrates constitute 13 percent of the 87 calories in 1 wine glass (13.5 fl-oz) However, there are variations, for example, specific brands are different:

- The red wine Merlot contains 12 percent of calories as carbohydrates
- Claret is sweeter: 14 percent of calories or 47 grams of carbs
- Burgundy is sweeter yet: 17 percent

On the other hand, vodka contains zero carbohydrates but 64 calories in 1-oz shot.
