Alcohol does have some calories of its own. I’m unsure to what degree that balances out the reduced sugar, though.

- kencausey 4y agoI think the point is that the fermentation is taking place in an effectively closed system, there is no calorie input. The fermented fruit cannot possibly have any more caloric content than the original fruit, it has just changed form.
- morebortplates 4y agoExactly. Couldn't have said it better. :)
- postalrat 4y agoAre you sure? Couldn't the energy be locked away in some form that can't be digested until it's fermented?
