    Holy Christ, this actually offends me. Just drink a glass of decent wine. Good lord, people, it's WINE. What is it, like 75 calories in a normal glass? Oh, the horror....THE HORROR.

    I work out so I can drink fermented grape juice.

    Ooh nice finds! I have just accepted that I'm drinking the calories, and it is worth it. Nothing better than guiltlessly enjoying my wine. Some people eat chocolate or ice cream for treats, I choose a nice White. :)

    There is a wine out of Indiana (yes, we grow grapes too!) that is called Slender Wine. I think there is around 130 calories to a glass, but no carbs. I believe it is the only carb-free wine on the market. Here is the link...

    I just googled this earlier today! Kim Crawford is a great Sav Blanc if you like white wines :)

    Be careful about the info on this site. I got excited to see that in general White Zin has only 80 calories a glass (according to the link). I did some research and that is nowhere near true, unless your idea of a glass is 3 ounces. Yeah right!!

    I will still enjoy but be careful as bottles don't have calorie counts so websites like this can be deceiving.

    White Zinfandel. People tend to have strong opinions about drinking white zinfandel. For some, it hardly qualifies as wine, while others prefer its fruity taste to other choices. Love it or hate it, white zinfandel tends to be one the lowest calorie wines available. One glass of white zinfandel has an average of 80 calories.
    Sauvignon Blanc. This dry white wine is a good choice for someone watching their calories. As a general rule, dry wines will always have fewer calories than sweeter wines. Sauvignon Blanc is generally described as crisp and refreshing. A glass of Sauvignon Blanc contains about 80 calories.


    Chablis. Chablis is a French wine made from 100% Chardonnay grapes. A wine with a very pure taste, Chablis often has an acidity that some describe as a green-apple. One glass of Chablis has about 83 calories.
    Chardonnay. A white wine that is often both affordable and always easy to find in restaurants. Chardonnay is often a great low calorie choice. Chardonnays have a lot of flavor variation and are generally dry. A glass of Chardonnay has an average of 90 calories.
    Cabernet Sauvignon.The only red wine to make the list, Cabernet Sauvignon is a popular dry red wine. The fact that it is dry makes it more diet-friendly than sweeter reds. Red wines are generally higher in calories than white wines. A glass of Cabernet Sauvignon has an average of 95 calories.

    Dry is better since all the sugar has fermented to alcohol. From there you can only choose a lower alcohol level, but, what's the point of that. Most wine is around 12% ABV so you might as well drink a decent one...IMO

    Exactly! Life is too short for bad wine.
