Default Differing Carb Counts for Wine

OK, I'll admit it -- I love my wine in the evening and couldn't give it up, even for Induction. I'll usually have 2 four ounce glasses in the evening while making/eating dinner. The Atkins website says a 4 oz glass has .8 carbs for white wine, which I'm fine with. However, I think in DANDR he lists white wine as having far more than that, about 3-4g. Same thing with Protein Power. The USDA website says .8. So what's the reason for the different counts? I felt fine adding 1.6 carbs to my daily totals (I consume between 20-25 net carbs per day), but 8g obviously is an entirely different thing.

Thanks!
