The Lowest Calorie Non-Alcoholic Wine (With Real Numbers)

Non-alcoholic wine is not automatically low in calories. That's the thing most people discover after buying a bottle. If you're watching calories, carbs, or blood sugar, the numbers matter. And they vary a lot across brands.

YOURS Non-Alcoholic Wine contains 10-20 calories per 5oz serving and 0g added sugar. That's not a marketing claim. It's what's on the nutrition label, and it's lower than every major NA wine brand currently on the market.

Here's why that gap exists, how to read the numbers yourself, and what they mean if you're counting carbs, managing blood sugar, or just trying not to undo a week of clean eating with a glass of wine.

Why Non-Alcoholic Wine Isn't Automatically Low in Calories

Alcohol removal sounds like it should mean fewer calories. It does. But most brands quietly add them back.

Alcohol carries 7 calories per gram. Remove it, and you're starting from a much lower calorie base. A standard 5oz glass of dry red wine runs 120-150 calories, mostly from alcohol. Strip that out and you'd expect something closer to 20-40 calories. Some brands get there. Many don't.

The problem is mouthfeel and sweetness. Real wine has body and structure that comes partly from alcohol. When you remove it, the product can taste thin, flat, or tart. Brands compensate by adding grape juice concentrate or other sweeteners to round it out. That's where the calories come back.

Grape juice concentrate is essentially sugar water. Five ounces of plain grape juice runs about 55-65 calories and 23g of sugar. When brands use it as a filler or sweetener in NA wine, the calorie count climbs fast. Ariel Cabernet Sauvignon, one of the most widely distributed NA wines, comes in at approximately 30 calories per 5oz glass with around 8g of sugar (based on label data as of 2025; verify against current packaging). That's more than double what you'd get from YOURS. Some brands also use glycerin for mouthfeel, which adds a small additional caloric load.

The brands that hit low calorie counts do it by using zero-calorie sweeteners instead of sugar-based additives. That's the actual variable driving the difference between a 15-calorie glass and a 45-calorie glass.

This is the data nobody talks about. According to NIQ (2024), 92% of non-alcoholic wine buyers also still buy alcoholic products. The people swapping in NA wine are not abstaining. They are moderating. They want the ritual without every glass adding up.

How YOURS Gets to 10-20 Calories Per Glass (The Monk Fruit Answer)

YOURS Non-Alcoholic Wine achieves 10-20 calories per 5oz glass by using monk fruit extract instead of sugar or grape juice concentrate as a sweetener. Monk fruit extract has a glycemic index of 0 and contributes no calories to the final product.

Monk fruit extract (luo han guo) is 100-250 times sweeter than sugar by weight, which means a tiny amount delivers the sweetness that would otherwise require grams of sugar. The FDA classifies it as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS). It produces no insulin response. For a wine product, that means you get natural sweetness and rounded flavor without any caloric or glycemic load from the sweetener itself.

YOURS starts with real California-grown wine, dealcoholized by winemakers to 0.5% ABV or less (the legal threshold for non-alcoholic beverages in the US). The base is real wine, not grape juice or a wine-flavored beverage. The dealcoholization process removes most of the caloric load. Monk fruit handles the balance without adding it back.

The full nutrition profile per 5oz serving: - Calories: 10-20 - Carbohydrates: 4g - Added sugar: 0g - ABV: 0.5% or less

That 4g of carbs comes from naturally occurring compounds in the wine base, not added sugar. Zero grams added sugar means nothing extra was put in to sweeten it beyond the monk fruit extract.

Non-Alcoholic Wine Calorie Comparison: YOURS vs. the Field

YOURS Non-Alcoholic Wine contains 10-20 calories per 5oz glass. That's an 85-93% reduction compared to the 120-150 calories in a standard 5oz glass of dry red wine. No other major NA wine brand currently matches that calorie floor.

Here's where the main players land on calories and sugar per 5oz serving:

*Ariel figures based on label data as of 2025; verify against current packaging.

The gap between YOURS and the next-lowest options is not marginal. Giesen and Pierre Chavin come in at roughly 25-35 calories with 5g of sugar. YOURS runs 10-20 calories with zero added sugar. Across a full pour or a second glass, that difference compounds.

For context: if you're tracking calories daily, the difference between YOURS and Ariel across two glasses is roughly 20-40 calories. That's not nothing, especially if wine is a nightly habit.

Is Non-Alcoholic Wine Keto-Friendly? (The Net Carb Math)

For most standard keto frameworks, YOURS qualifies as keto-friendly. A 5oz glass contains 4g of carbohydrates with 0g of fiber listed, giving a net carb count of approximately 4g per serving.

Standard dry wine on a keto diet typically runs 2-4g net carbs per glass and is generally accepted by most keto practitioners. YOURS lands at the higher end of that range at 4g, but with zero added sugar and a glycemic index of 0 from the monk fruit sweetener, there's no sugar spike driving you out of ketosis.

The distinction matters: carb count and glycemic impact are not the same thing. Table sugar and monk fruit extract can have identical carb labels but completely different effects on blood sugar and insulin. YOURS's 4g carbs are not from added sugar or high-glycemic ingredients. They're residual carbohydrates from the dealcoholized wine base, primarily organic acids and trace compounds that have minimal glycemic impact.

If you're strict keto (under 20g net carbs daily), one glass of YOURS uses 4g of that budget, the same as roughly half a cup of broccoli. Manageable for most people. If you're flexible or targeted keto, YOURS fits more easily.

Compare that to Ariel at 8g of sugar per glass, or grape juice at 23g. Those numbers push most keto practitioners out of range in a single serving.

Non-Alcoholic Wine and Blood Sugar: What the Numbers Mean for Diabetics

YOURS Non-Alcoholic Wine contains 0g added sugar and uses monk fruit extract, a sweetener with a glycemic index of 0 that produces no measurable insulin response. For people managing blood sugar, those are the two numbers that matter most.

Regular wine has a complicated relationship with blood sugar. Alcohol itself suppresses gluconeogenesis (the liver's glucose production), which can actually lower blood sugar in some contexts, but this also creates a risk of hypoglycemia when drinking, particularly for people on insulin or certain medications. Remove the alcohol, and that suppression goes away.

For diabetics drinking NA wine, the relevant question is: what does the sweetener do to my blood glucose? With most NA wines using grape juice concentrate or added sugar, the answer is: it raises it. With YOURS, the answer is: nothing. Monk fruit extract passes through the body without being metabolized into glucose. There is no blood sugar spike from the sweetener.

The 4g of carbohydrates per serving should still be counted in a diabetic meal plan. But 4g of low-glycemic carbs from a dealcoholized wine base is a fundamentally different situation than 8g of sugar from grape juice concentrate. Anyone using a continuous glucose monitor can verify this directly. The response to monk fruit sweetened beverages is typically flat compared to sugar-sweetened equivalents.

Consult your physician or registered dietitian before making changes to what you eat and drink if you're managing diabetes with medication.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many calories are in a glass of non-alcoholic wine?

It varies significantly by brand. Non-alcoholic wines range from approximately 10 calories per 5oz glass (YOURS) to approximately 30 calories per 5oz pour (Ariel Cabernet Sauvignon; Ariel label shows 45 cal per 8oz serving, label data as of 2025; verify against current packaging). Most mainstream NA wines land between 25-40 calories per 5oz serving. The variation comes from what brands use to replace the body and sweetness lost when alcohol is removed. Brands using grape juice concentrate or added sugar run higher; brands using zero-calorie sweeteners like monk fruit run lower.

Is non-alcoholic wine low in calories?

Compared to regular wine, yes. Regular dry wine runs 120-150 calories per 5oz glass. Non-alcoholic wine typically falls between 10-50 calories per serving, since most of wine's calories come from alcohol (7 calories per gram). The lowest-calorie option currently available is YOURS, at 10-20 calories per 5oz glass, using monk fruit extract as a zero-calorie sweetener instead of sugar-based additives.

Is non-alcoholic wine high in sugar?

Many are. Brands that use grape juice concentrate or added sugar to improve mouthfeel and taste after dealcoholization can contain 5-8g of sugar per serving. YOURS contains 0g added sugar, using monk fruit extract (glycemic index = 0) for sweetness instead. If you're checking labels, look at both "total sugars" and "added sugars." They tell different stories.

Can diabetics drink non-alcoholic wine?

YOURS Non-Alcoholic Wine is a viable option for many people managing blood sugar, due to its 0g added sugar and use of monk fruit extract, which produces no insulin response and has a glycemic index of 0. The 4g of carbohydrates per serving should be accounted for in a meal plan. Always consult your physician or dietitian about specific dietary changes if you're managing diabetes with medication or insulin.

Is non-alcoholic wine keto-friendly?

YOURS qualifies as keto-compatible for most frameworks at 4g net carbs per 5oz glass and 0g added sugar. Standard dry wine on keto is typically accepted at 2-4g net carbs per serving. YOURS sits at the upper end of that range but uses monk fruit extract (glycemic index 0) as its sweetener, meaning no blood sugar impact from the sweetener itself. Most NA wines with 6-8g of sugar per serving would be harder to fit into a strict keto day.

What is the lowest calorie non-alcoholic wine?

YOURS Non-Alcoholic Wine, at 10-20 calories per 5oz glass, is the lowest-calorie option among major NA wine brands. The next closest options (Giesen 0% and Pierre Chavin) run approximately 25-35 calories per serving. YOURS achieves this by using monk fruit extract instead of grape juice concentrate or added sugar, which keeps the caloric contribution from sweeteners at zero.

Does non-alcoholic wine make you gain weight?

Non-alcoholic wine is unlikely to cause weight gain when substituted for regular wine or other higher-calorie drinks. At 10-20 calories per glass (YOURS), it's one of the lowest-calorie ways to have a wine-style drink. The relevant factor is total calorie intake over time. Replacing a 150-calorie glass of regular wine with a 15-calorie glass of YOURS represents a meaningful reduction over weeks and months.
