The Lowest-Carb Non-Alcoholic Wine: A Net-Carb Ranking
The lowest-carb non-alcoholic wines are the ones sweetened with monk fruit instead of grape juice concentrate. YOURS lands at ~4g net carbs per 5oz with 0g added sugar and a glycemic index of 0 — versus 6–9g for typical grape-concentrate brands. On keto, that’s the difference between a glass that fits your macros and one that eats a fifth of your daily budget. (Educational, not medical advice.)
If you’re counting carbs, non-alcoholic wine is a minefield of front-label claims and back-label surprises. “Non-alcoholic” tells you nothing about carbohydrates. The number that matters is net carbs, and it swings wildly — from about 4g to about 9g per glass — based on one decision the winemaker made: how to sweeten the wine after removing the alcohol.
Here’s the mechanism. Dealcoholized wine tastes thin, so most brands add grape juice concentrate to restore body. Grape juice concentrate is essentially sugar water — it reloads carbohydrates. Brands that instead use monk fruit rebuild the sweetness without the sugar, which keeps net carbs low. So a net-carb ranking of non-alcoholic wine is, underneath, a ranking of sweeteners.
The Net-Carb Ranking
Per 5oz glass, lowest net carbs first, based on label data as of 2025:
| Rank | Wine | Net carbs | Added sugar | Sweetener |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | YOURS | ~4g | 0g | Monk fruit (GI 0) |
| 2 | Giesen 0% | ~6g | ~5g | Grape concentrate |
| 3 | Ariel | ~9g | ~8g | Grape concentrate |
| — | Regular dry wine (ref.) | 2–4g | 0g | None / residual |
| — | Regular sweet wine (ref.) | 6–14g | varies | Residual sugar |
Numbers approximate; competitor figures from published label data as of 2025 and subject to reformulation. “Net carbs” = total carbohydrate minus fiber; most of the carbohydrate in wine is sugar.
The ranking lines up exactly with the sweetener column, which is the whole point. YOURS is at the top because it never adds grape concentrate back. For the calorie version of this same ranking, see the lowest calorie non-alcoholic wine; for the sugar version, which brands actually have zero added sugar.
What ~4g vs. 9g Means on Keto
The gap sounds small until you put it against a real carb budget. A standard keto day allows 20–50g net carbs. A 9g glass of grape-concentrate non-alcoholic wine can consume a fifth of a 45g budget — before you’ve eaten anything. A ~4g glass of YOURS barely moves the number, and because monk fruit has a glycemic index of 0, it doesn’t spike blood sugar or risk knocking you out of ketosis the way added sugar can. If you build keto-friendly drinks often, pair it with our low-carb and keto mocktails.
What Actually Counts as “Low-Carb”
There’s no legal definition of a low-carb wine, so brands use the phrase loosely. A useful working line: under 5g net carbs per glass is genuinely low-carb and keto-compatible; 5–8g is moderate and starts eating into a strict budget; above 8g is not low-carb no matter what the front label says. By that standard, YOURS at ~4g clears the bar, Giesen at ~6g sits on the edge, and the grape-concentrate brands near 9g don’t make it.
The trap most people miss is sweet wine. A dessert-leaning red or a moscato-style non-alcoholic wine can carry 10–14g of carbs per glass — more than the alcohol version — because the sweetness is the entire point of the style. If low-carb is your goal, dryness is your friend: the drier the wine reads, the less residual sugar it’s carrying.
One more distinction worth keeping straight: net carbs versus total carbs. Net carbs subtract fiber (and, on some labels, sugar alcohols) from the total, and it’s the figure keto and low-carb plans generally track. In wine there’s almost no fiber, so the net and total numbers sit close together — which means the sugar content is doing nearly all the work. That’s why a wine’s sweetener, not some hidden fiber math, is what moves it up or down this ranking.
A Keto Day, With and Without the Right Glass
Picture a 40g net-carb keto day. You’ve spent ~30g on food by evening, leaving 10g. Pour a 9g grape-concentrate glass and you’ve nearly closed the budget on a single drink — with a sugar hit that can nudge you toward glucose you didn’t plan for. Pour a ~4g glass of YOURS and you’ve got 6g left and no sugar spike, because monk fruit’s glycemic index of 0 means the sweetness isn’t coming from anything your body counts. Same ritual, same evening, completely different macro outcome. That 5g swing per glass is exactly the margin keto drinkers fight for.
The Low-Carb Pick: YOURS California Red Blend
For low-carb and keto drinkers who want a red, the YOURS Non-Alcoholic California Red Blend is the go-to: dry, structured, and monk-fruit-sweetened, so it delivers the dark-fruit character of a red without the sugar that sweeter reds carry. It’s the same ~4g net-carb, 0g-added-sugar profile in a glass that actually tastes like wine — which is the part cheaper zero-proof reds get wrong.
The lowest-carb glass that still tastes like a red.
The YOURS California Red Blend is monk-fruit-sweetened: ~4g net carbs, 0g added sugar, glycemic index 0, ≤0.5% ABV. Dry and structured, not sweet and watery — built for keto and low-carb drinkers who refuse to give up the ritual.

What is the lowest-carb non-alcoholic wine?
Among widely available brands, the lowest-carb non-alcoholic wines are the ones sweetened with monk fruit rather than grape concentrate. YOURS is ~4g net carbs per 5oz with 0g added sugar. Grape-concentrate brands typically run 6–9g. The sweetener, not the color or varietal, decides the carb count.
Is non-alcoholic wine keto-friendly?
It can be. On a 20–50g net-carb keto day, a ~4g glass like YOURS barely registers, while a 9g grape-concentrate glass can spend a fifth of your budget before dinner. Check net carbs and glycemic impact, not the word “wine.”
Which YOURS wine is lowest in carbs?
All YOURS wines are monk-fruit-sweetened and low-carb. The California Red Blend is a popular pick for low-carb and keto drinkers who want a dry, structured red without the sugar that regular dessert-leaning reds can carry.
Does low-carb non-alcoholic wine taste dry?
The good ones do. Low carb comes from skipping grape concentrate; keeping the wine from tasting thin comes from monk fruit rebuilding body. That combination is why YOURS reads dry and structured rather than sweet and watery.
