One beer company tried to do it. But because beer has vitamins in it, they were prohibited from doing it as it might have made the beer seem healthy.

Can you provide a citation? Plenty of beers have nutrition information labels.

The assertion used to be true, but is out of date. The beer industry negotiated with the FDA and now they can include nutrition labels.
The wine industry is still working on it.

Can you provide a citation. Just coming along and saying it's true is not a citation.

It used to be true. It changed about a decade ago.
