I’m not sure I trust the carb counts from that list … at least not all of them.
I wouldn’t use it to get a down to the exact carb count, but it gives you an idea of what is higher/lower carb.
FWIW, the wine suggestions are atrocious and looks like it was written by Southern Glazers rep. Drinking any of those recommendations will assuredly make you fat and only slightly drunk because of the residual sugar that most of them have. Followed by a wicked hangover the next day.

I have no wine knowledge at all, especially when it comes to carb count. I was basing it off of what I do know about beer and carbs, and it’s not too far off on that part.
Dry wine is typically low carb because the glucose and fructose molecules are fermented and converted to ethanol (a process I’m sure you’re already familiar with given your knowledge of beer). There are always some unfermentable sugars, but those are well under 1.0 g/L.
ETA - If I’m remembering my Enology classes correctly, the human capacity to taste sweetness (sucrose) is usually around 3.0 g/L.

Another friend was trying to lose weight and quit beer entirely, 32oz yeti of rocks, water, vodka and lemon. That’s all he would drink for a long time.

Did it work?
Tough to say. Too drunk to stay on the scales.

It did, he wasn’t obese but just wanted to lose some middle-aged-man flab.
Ice tea was involved as an occasional mixer as well. I remembered that as I’m currently mixing up a John Daly.
Currently enjoying a Von Wolfhausen Festbier from Eureka Heights. It’s pretty damn tasty.

First I’ve heard of that brewery, I’ll get somebody to sherpa some up here (their beer-finder says it’s unavailable within 100 miles, which rules out Austin). Their can art is fun.
I like in the “About” section: Why are you so special? Because our mom said so.
They’re a pretty good little local brewery. Get your ass to Houston. Bring a beer Sherpa with you. I nominate Raup the Younger. He knows all the little gems.
I sure need to, it’s been too long.
So I received my shipment from Fine Disregard. I will have to post a review. I will use big words and sound like I know what I’m talking about.
Use the word nose as a verb.
I nose good wine when I drinks it.

Mine arrived, too, but there was no check in the box.
I will be using your fancy review with lots of big words to help shape my first order. Since I am the furthest thing from a wine snob. A wine luddite, if you will…
You can talk about terroir which I only recently learned is not in fact some kind of French dog.

Checks will be mailed after verification of a suitably appropriate review - i.e. historically, comically hyperbolic and effusive in its praise.
Kara and I sincerely hope everyone who ordered wine enjoys the hell out of it. Fine Disregard is just the two of us, so this is a rather personal endeavor. At the end of the day, though, the most important thing is whether people actually like the wines we make. Hope that’s the case here.
