    I also love my wine, and like others have said, measure out your 5 oz. glass and enjoy sipping it slowly. There is no real need to down a whole bottle in one sitting. Count it in your calorie intake for the day as well. I have it as a treat maybe once per week, but I used to drink it alot more than that before I had my little girl 8 weeks ago. Since having her though I can't drink it as much since it makes me feel really weird. Hope this helps!

    I love a glass (or many) of wine, but I've really cut back because there are so many calories in it, and none of them good! I save it for a special occassion - dinner out, party with friends. I usually order a big glass of water with it and make myself drink an entire glass of water with each glass of wine. Trust me, you spend so much time in the bathroom, you don't have as much time to drink! Also, the water keeps you hydrated and you're less likely to suffer from headaches the next day.

    I do that too sometimes. . . Fresca and white wine is a really nice wine cooler. And I weigh the wine on my diet scale. ice, tare (zero out) 3 oz wine, tare, and 1/2 can Fresca, and repeat.

    I have a glass of wine every day and my doc says it is fine. But lots of wine is how I got my butt so big. I pour wine at a winery every other weekend, and I used to drink 2 to 3 glasses a dinner. But I cut it down to 6 ounces now (and put a glass of water on the table before you start) put the bottle away before you start eating. You have to weigh or measure the wine or you can easily get more calories with the giant glasses most of us have.

    I love my little scale!

    I budget my diary for wine.

    On another note, you may have to decide what is more important, though.

    Charles Shaw from Trader Joe's. It's $2,99 a bottle. Doesn't have a screw cap. And tastes better than any of the higher end wines I've tried. My favorites are all of the Reds and the Sauvignon Blanc

    Charles Shaw is SO good! I also have been drinking Rex & Goliath Sauvignon Blanc... most places its $5! And, I can't lie to you, I drink Franzia because I'm BROKE... the Crisp White is really sweet with only 105 cals per 5oz :)
