Update: I wrote this before checking my fasting bg this morning. Disappointingly, 5.8. Realised that last night I omitted my regular 2 units of red wine. So back to the bottle tonight. In the interest of research, of course.
Alcohol definitely made a significant difference for me. Before quitting (but same diet) - A1C 5.6. After quitting, A1C - 5.9/6.0
And the exercise thing is so strange and unpredictable! Good luck and keep reporting.
