Hello, I'm a wine enthusiast with a passion for exploring the nuances of different varieties and their effects on health and lifestyle. When it comes to wine and carbohydrates, it's important to note that all wines contain some level of carbs, primarily in the form of residual sugars. However, some wines are lower in carbs than others.

Dry wines, such as Dry Red Wines and Dry White Wines, typically have the least amount of carbs because they have had most of the sugars fermented out during the winemaking process. Specifically, dry wines usually contain less than 4 grams of carbs per 5-ounce serving.

Within the category of dry wines, Beaujolais, Pinot Grigio, and Sauvignon Blanc are often cited as having particularly low levels of carbs. Additionally, Champagne and other sparkling wines can also be relatively low in carbs, especially if they are labeled as "Brut," which indicates a dry style with minimal residual sugar.

It's also worth mentioning that zero-alcohol wines or dealcoholized wines are available for those who are counting carbs and also want to avoid alcohol. These wines have had the alcohol removed but still retain much of the flavor of traditional wine.

Remember, while these wines are lower in carbs, they are not carb-free. If you're following a very low-carb diet, such as the ketogenic diet, you'll want to consume wine in moderation.
