    If you choose white make it a spritzer with 1/2 club soda and a wedge of lime. 1/2 the calories and can still enjoy a social drink.

    Excellent idea!!!! :-)

    Somebody just turned me on to Malbecs from Argentina. They are red. Yummy. Can be pricey.

    For years, I've liked Sauvignon Blancs from Marlborough, New Zealand.

    The spritzer advice was good advice. You can get any cheap wine and add club soda and a lime. Sangria is usually red wine with club soda, orange juice, lemon juice, sugar, and brandy, but you can make a mini mock sangria by only using the red wine, club soda, and some whole fruit. If you don't like the spritzer, you can try alternating a regular glass of wine with a club soda and lime, or using Seltzer instead.


    Great point! Thanks!

    Oh, well. I love both. White? Nice viogner or condrieu? Red? Malbec, shiraz, merlot ... Depends on the area. But now whatever nice wine I drink, it has to fit into my calories allowance. I am travelling now, dinner was total crap as they could not deliver grilled chicken breast and veg so I am enjoying wine instead. I know it is not ideal. But once a week? It does not hurt that much.

    Always red! White has more sugar

    If it is a Dry White it doesn't...sorry

    I prefer white wine, over red, although I don't get around to buying a bottle often! After reading comments, I am dying to try the SkinnyGirl wines! Only 87 cals per serving? I'm there!

    I enjoy a red sirah most of the time, Sangiovese's are good as well...but my absolute favories are blended red wine's in the Super Tuscan family. (They are usually the cheaper wines, but I like their flavors) lol.
