About Keto and drinking,
First of all,you can simply just drink booze,tequila,vodka,gin,rum....all very very "Carb friendly"
BUT if you don't want to get "wasted" your "keto friendly" option should always be "dry white wine".

If you want to drink wine you should go for a very dry white one with a high percentage of alcohol.
If you have the option check the "residual sugar", there are "dry white wines" with very little acid that can taste very sweet if you are on keto.
For example a german "fraenkisch" or a french "elsa's".
There are dry white wines with just 2g "residual sugar/netcarbs"a bottle.
You still have to watch your calories and the time your body spends to "work that alcohol" your body will just store all that "evil" fat,but if you wanna go crazy you can drink dry white wine by the bucket without getting kicked out of ketosis.
Have fun.

    doesnt the wine just turn to sugar and feed you lots of calories?

    Alcohol is it's own macronutrient. This is why things like vodka, scotch, etc. have calories despite having no carbs, fat, or protein involved. It's metabolized as priority number one, as the body has no storage for it, no way to convert it to fat, amd treats it (rightly so) as a poison.

    As such, alcohol itself can NEVER make you fat, but because it takes priority in the metabolic order, it can cause anything else you eat to do so. CICO and all of that.
