DISCLAIMER: If you’re looking for keto-friendly wines, it’s best to opt for “dry wines” that have no added sugar and no residual sugar. 

The effects of alcohol makes it easier to overeat and drink more. The higher the alcohol content, the more likely you are to sabotage ketosis. Alcohol consumption switches off your fat-burning potential. Your body prioritizes getting the alcohol out of your system overusing your fat for energy. This may slow down or even stall weight loss and ketone production. You may have a lower alcohol tolerance. There are many anecdotal reports of lower tolerance and worse hangovers when you’re running off ketones.

It’s important to note that while these wines are keto-friendly, they should still be consumed in moderation as alcohol can interfere with ketosis. Cheers! 🍷

Sauvignon Blanc

5

Despite its almost sweet crispness, sauvignon blanc contains the least amount of carbs and sugars, making it a top dry keto wine to choose from. In just one glass of sauvignon blanc, you’ll find only 3 grams of carbs

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Chardonnay

5

While both sauvignon blanc and chardonnay are considered dry wines, the former is a light-bodied wine and the latter is just the opposite: a full-bodied wine. Despite this difference, a glass of chardonnay will run you 3.2 grams of carbs, just slightly above a sauvignon blanc, but not by much.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Pinot Grigio

5
Pinot Grigio is a dry white wine. It boasts a crisp, punchy acidity that lends itself to a drier palate. A glass of pinot grigio will set you back around the same amount of carbs as a glass of cabernet sauvignon. And if you’re in the mood for white wine, pinot grigio and pinot blanc are about equal nutritionally.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Pinot Blanc

Pinot blanc, which closely resembles a pinot grigio, also clocks in at 3.8 grams of carbs per serving. Pinot blanc is a white wine grape used to make a dry French wine by the same name, pinot bianco in Italy, and Weissburgunder in Germany and Austria. It is a white mutation of pinot gris (itself a mutation of pinot noir) and originates in Burgundy, France. Pinot blanc grapes can be used to make still, sparkling, and sweet dessert wines, and is often compared to chardonnay owing to its high acidity.
