I used to get vodka and diet tonic at bars because I thought it was lower calorie, but they're really not that different, with vodka at 80 calories/oz. And I like wine a whooole lot better.

Pepp: There are only 2 grams of carbohydrates because the rest is alcohol. Carbohydrates run at 4 cal/gram and alcohol runs at 7 cal/gram. They don't show the alcohol content here, probably because this is just an estimate for red wine in general. Likely it's safe to say that around 8 cal come from carbs and the rest from alcohol: about 77 calories, meaning 11 grams of alcohol.
