Cooking with Wine?

I know that a glass of dry red or white wine is already very low carb, but
do any of you chefs out there know if the carbs might get burned off during
cooking?
I have a recipe that uses 1/2 cup of red wine and bakes in the oven for 3
hours. According to FitDay, the wine adds 1.6g carbs to the recipe, but
it's not taking into account the cooking process.

TIA,

I don't think the carbs get burned off during cooking. If they did
potatoes, pasta, bread, pie, doughnuts etc would be low carb. :-)

Single malt scotch is awesome (NO it does NOT have carbs as DON'T vodka,
gin, rum, bourbon, etc generally)
Malt can be made low carb through the judicious use of yeast.
Low carb beer? Uh...yeah.
Read the books.
You can have more than eggs for breakfast.
Yes calories do count.
Ketosticks are not neccessary to lose weight.

cooking won't remove carbs, but it will reduce alcohol, and therefore
calories (if you're counting).

I was hoping that the alcohol being partially burned off would reduce the
carbs. :-)

It is not the alcohol that contributes the carbs in wine it is the sugars.
Sugars don't burn off in cooking.
