Red or white wine?

rainbowws

Hey everyone!!
Which is better calorie-wise? A glass of red wine or a glass of white wine? And does the type or red or white wine make any difference?

good question.. I am bumping because I would like to know the answer too.

Depends on the type of wine. Some reds can be very high in sodium, while some whites are shockingly high in sugar.

A white wine might have 5 or 10 fewer calories per serving. Red wines have been linked to heart and cardiovascular health. Really, though, it's not much difference. Go with what compliments your food.

I'm a RED (Merlot or Cabernet) wine drinker.... drink it with everything....White is too sweet for me....

What about a dry white wine compared with red wine?

I'm a white drinker all the way. I like the sweetness. The only way I can drink red is if I've already been drinking or if I throw fruit into it to make it Sangria!


That said, I know there are a few white wines listed here on MFP as far as calories etc go. (I know this because I make sure to track them in my calories when drinking.) Not sure if there are reds though...
