Sugar is needed for fermentation. Fermentation is needed to make alcohol. So no, beer and wine cannot be made without sugar. Besides, it is the alcohol that has the calories in it, not the sugar they used to make it. Carbs have calories. Alcohol has (lots of) carbs. You can try a low carb beer.

Comment on What equipment would you recommend to begin home brewing and wine making? by ugly joe

The best book I can think of is "The Complete Joy of Home brewing" by Charlie Papazian. This is a guide that can take you from the easy methods, such as using extracts, to using grains and hops.
Much of the equipment can be used for both beer and wine. You may want to start with an inexpensive kit and then if you enjoy the results you can upgrade to the more expensive equipment later.
Some of the things you will need to get started are
fermenter (a food grade bucket or carboy with an airlock, a device to let air out but not in to the bucket)
bottles ( to fill with your beer or wine)
bottle capper
Large cooking pot to cook the the ingredients in
a siphon
bottling bucket (to put the beer or wine in when you are ready to bottle it)

My husband has been brewing beer for 20+ years. Find a homebrew shop in your neighborhood – ask around or look online for one. Go in there and talk to the people; tell them what you want to do. They’ll steer you in the right direction. I recommend buying one of Charlie Papazian’s recipe books. Have fun and good luck!

The best thing to do is buy a "Brewer’s Best" equipment kit and ingredients kit. It has instructions and all the tools you need.

Comment on What is the differences between the processes of beer brewing and wine making.? by ΩikΩσ

The primary difference is in the food for the yeast, barley or grapes. there are also "country wines", which use other things than grapes. Wine making is easier in that the acidity makes it tougher for bacteria to get started and ruin the wine, so brewers tend to put more emphasis on sanitation. Yeast strains differ too, as do the brewing temperatures.

Wine = press grapes, add yeast to juice (or let natural yeast from skins do the job), bottle when finished fermenting

Beer = malt grain, grind malt, add water, boil, add hops, transfer wort to fermenter, sparge grain to remove last of sugars, transfer that to fermenter, add yeast, let ferment, transfer to conditioning tank, add more sugars, let ferment a second time while conditioning, bottle/barrel.

Comment on do Orthodox Chrisitan monasteries have a tradition of beer brewing or wine making? by Chi girl

If anything, it would be wine making, but I’ve never heard of any monasteries doing that. I know some monks specialize in making icons.
