Have You Ever Noticed, Wine Doesn't Carry A 'Nutrition Facts' Label -- But Alcohol Free Wine DOES!

OK, I will readily confess. Though I am an inveterate reader of 'Nutrition Facts' labels (albeit just to check on CARBs (& nothing else)) I had, until this morning, never checked for this label on a wine product! Yes, I am surprised and embarrassed that I never have -- given that I drink wine everyday (though much, much, much less than say 15 months ago (now that I am (alas) a prediabetic). Yes, it was indeed the prediabetes that had me looking. I have to get my numbers down -- somehow. Nothing is working, & nothing has.

So, I was even thinking, in abject desperation, of switching to non-alcoholic wine. First time I had ever considered this. I know some of you may not believe me, & I don't give a monkey's BUT in my case it really is the grape TASTE rather than the alcohol.

So, I was shocked by TWO things today:

1/ Wine doesn't have Nutrition Facts label.

2/ Non-alcoholic wine has WAY TOO MANY CARBs. Way too many. All sugar. Wow.

Well, NOT switching to non-alcoholic. That would totally defeat the purpose.

I need to do more THINKING & soul-searching.

Did YOU know this? 

Wow. I am still in shock.
