    Isnt it one of life's travesties that a decent Sauvignon Blanc carries so many damn calories?

    Pinot Gris isn't too bad in cals. and then just do a workout so that you can afford a few extra. I myself don't believe in re-corking wine. I think that it's against the rules somewhere. Well at least in my book. :)

    Come on Cristy. Just build it into your total. I love wine, would never give it up. But just need to work it off. Im down 15 lbs in a month. This is exercise and good eating, not sacrifice of my two glasses a night. Dieting should still be fun. Not denial. Eat, drink and be merry. But be prepared to sweat it off. Thats my recipe.

    I've got one of those vacuum thingies that pumps the air out of the bottle and puts a top on it so it'll last in the fridge!

    although...ahem....I rarely open a bottle I don't intend to finish!

    could be why I switched to boxes....rofl!

    One of my friends claims that those things pump mold back into the bottle and cause the wine to spoil faster. I think he is just too darned stubborn to admit that he can't leave a re-corked bottle alone, and this is his excuse for not saving the "leftover" wine!

    Well isnt that something. Every respondent here is female as far as I can see. You girls love your wine. And as an admirer of the female mind and intellect, ( body too, but lets not go there) I sense kindered spirits. Tommi, mead? Good lord. I think the secret with a good bottle of wine is never to cork it. Sacriledge. Even Californian wine doesnt deserve that. ( Sorry my US friends, but its way behind Nw Zealand). Now, how the hell do we get the calories down?????

    Plan a wine day- should be a Sunday morning. So you can wake late, laze in bed, have some coffee, and then start on the wine all day long.

    He's spot on. If you open a bottle, finish it. Else its fine for cooking, but not drinking.

    You don't know what mead is?! *gasp* It's only the best form of alcohol consumption in the history of man. And arguably the oldest, too. It's technically considered to be a wine but is actually its own stand-alone beverage. Made from honey, it's characterized by a very sweet flavor and is usually a lovely golden color. Oh, and it very rarely tastes much like alcohol, or any kind of wine you've ever had. A good mead will mess you up real fast, too, or can be enjoyed a glass at a time. Like wine, it's also really easy to make.

    Also like wine, it's far from a low-cal drink. *lol* I had a glass tonight after dinner, and added a whopping 300+ calories to my intake, putting me over. So worth it, though....so worth it....When I reach my goal, I will celebrate by finishing some mead I've been hanging on to since Christmas. And for me, that's a REALLY long time!!!

    We served mead at our wedding :smile: it's amazing.

    Hopefully I'll have my new running shoes at the same time as we get our order from WineTasting (BuyWithMe had a great deal -- $35 for $75 worth, if your state allows shipment of wine), so I can be working out for my wine :laugh:
