Most any alcohol will cause blood glucose levels to rise (hyperglycemia) initially due to the calories/sugar it contains. Alcohol contains sugar ? please explain.

No, pure alcohol will not have sugar...but it will contain calories. Many drinks are not pure alcohol and have some sort of flavor/etc...and sugar may be part of that.

Alcohol has calories- but no nutritional value.
So i'm hypothesizing that this triggers an insulin response- but I'm not a Dr

Small to moderate amounts of alcohol raise blood sugar levels. Excessive amounts will actually lower it to dangerous levels. Alcoholics often suffer from hypoglycemia. Years ago I heard that the manufacturers of artificially boosted wine (i.e., wino wine, i.e. Thunderbird, MD50/50, etc.) add additional sugar in the product. The person who told me that was a med student at the time. I thought he said it was for nutritional value as the manufacturers knew who their consumers were. He must have referring to this phenomenon.
