non-alcoholic wines low-carb?

Quoted message said:

"Nonalcoholic wines begin life as traditional wines, but go through an
additional process to remove almost all of the alcohol.

Incorrect, sort of. That's one option that's seldom used anymore. Most
vineyards are so small that the extensive option of extracting alcohol from
their wine is cost-prohibitive. In most case, the fermentation is "arrested"
in its earliest stages. The result is a beverage with many of the sugars
left behind that would have been converted into alcohol, which has zero
carbs.

nonalcoholic, a wine in the United States must contain less than one-half
of
one percent alcohol by volume."

Not less than 1/2% but 1/2% or less.

Quoted message said:

If so, then non-alcoholic wines would be no-carb, if made from normal
no-carb wines.

One again, wrong...and the same holds for NA beers too.

I've also seen some that add grape juice for flavor.

Is this correct:

N'est pas? 🙂

Where did you get that wacky idea.
Wine contains water, alcohol, and about 3% sugars (mainly glucose/fructose).

You do realise wine is sweet from sugar? You do realise sugar are carbs?
