Cooking with wine

[Mumlé]

Do you count the carbs when you cook with wine? Like making a risotto?

If there are carbs in the wine, which in my experience there is not, then I would say yes...........

Hi charlotte.

I don't think wine has enough carbs to worry about. Unless you're using a very sweet wine, which I would imagine wouldn't go very well with risotto 🙂

Hmm ok, not that I've ever looked at carb count for wine! I kind of assumed there were as it's fermented and that's sugary? But I guess not then!

No LOL - the fermented sugar turns to alcohol !

About 21g in a bottle or 2g in a glass. Not recommended for fixing Hypos

However if you drink it then it is supposed to suppress the livers production of glucose so that should be a positive, cooking will destroy the alcohol so it is just flavoured water with carbs.

drink the stuff while your cooking

I always assumed that the alcohol was boiled off due to it having a lower boiling point than water. I guess it all boils down to the same thing though. 🙄
