    My "Get Drunk Not Fat" app has these. All are 5 oz.

    Martini and Rossi Prosecco - 5g carbs, 105 cal
    Carlo Rossi - Cabernet Sauvignon - 5 g carbs, 125 cal
    beaulieu vineyard, Sauvignon Blanc - 2.5 g carbs, 143 cal
    Sterling Vineyards, Chardonnay- 3 g carbs, 156 cal
    beaulieu vineyard, merlot and Pinot noir - 3.8 g carbs, 152 calories
    beaulieu vineyard - Cabernet Sauvignon - 4.1 g carbs, 152 cal
    Skinnygirl sangria - 22.5, 132 cal (yikes)

    Not sure what's unique, different about beaulieu vineyards, but they have lower numbers.

    I typically drink either vodka and soda with a splash of lime juice or pinot noir when I drink. They are lowest calories for a regular size drink and between 0-5 g carbs for a drink.

    The amount of sugar produced in crop of grapes? which varies by time of season picked and time of day picked. Probably other factors too.

    Yes, I can see the potential for variability. That probably means you need the vintages from specific years if you want to be super exact.

    My go-to is sauv blanc or other dry white wine.

    However, I've been experimenting with a really high-quality, high-end whiskey and water (I know, no idea why I'm suddenly getting a taste for whiskey); I like that I really sip it, so it lasts longer and I don't get hammered or have tons of alcohol calories as quickly.

    Also, I'm trying vodka with water and extra martini olives (like 4-5). Not for everyone -- but I'm into it.

    Again, with both the whiskey and vodka, it's gotta be a really high-quality brand; it'll taste terrible otherwise. But I would rather pay a bit more and have fewer drinks than vice versa anyway...

    Almost forgot:

    I made a Low Carb Lemon Drop martini last weekend with...

    1 shot vodka
    1 shot water
    1 half of a squeezed lemon
    5 drops Lemon Liquid Stevia (purchased at Whole Foods)

    Chill the martini glass with water and ice cubes, then dump out of the glass. Mix all of the above ingredients together in a shaker. Rim the martini glass with the lemon and then dip it on a plate that's covered with plain stevia.

    Not as good as the real thing, but pretty tasty!
