The answer is, "Maybe, if that would be possible, which it is not." Theoretically, as an abstract question, it would be a matter of 1) what the carbs would be replace by (alcohol, for instance, contains 7 calories per gram vs. 4 calories per gram for carbs; and 2) if carbs were somehow removed, it would not be wine, a product of natural fermentation in which some but not all of the sugars (sucrose) are broken down to glucose and fructose and converted to ethyl alcohol. The residual sugars, that is those that are not converted to alcohol, remain as carbs. Still wines are generally 9% to 14% ABV (alcohol by volume). The remaining calories are the unfermented natural sugars (carbs).danbrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119737446791634173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7410445500476013619.post-12986318468808059652014-04-19T15:22:55.669-04:002014-04-19T15:22:55.669-04:00if white wine didn't contain any carbs would i...if white wine didn't contain any carbs would it consult less in calories?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
