Red Wine or White Wine?

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.0 -
Okay, I have not based this on calories but (of course, it depends on what you are eating)...right now I am liking New Age white wine or Jacob's Creek Moscato. That's what I would drink tonight! I am in the mood for something light and easy-drinking. If you like Riesling, you will like these. I think Jacob's Creek Moscato is about 140 calories per glass. I don't mess around with my wine. I just drink it.
For red, lately I'm drinking Layer Cake Shiraz or 7 Deadly Zins. I am also liking Malbecs, but I don't like them really young. I like a vintage that 2 years old or more, in most cases. However, I'm not an expert, so if you go to a wine store, ask them for a recommendation.0 -

Don't waste your calories on something that won't be 100% worth it.

^^^^^^This. Never skimp on wine, chocolate, or coffee. Have a little but have the good stuff.0 -
red for me
Shiraz
Syrah
Pinotage from South Africa0 -
My favorite are Chilean Cabs.
My personal brand favorite - Casillero del Diablo.
It could be because I lived down the street from the factory when I lived in Chile.... hmmm.
But great, cheap (I can find it here for like $9 a bottle), and delicious.0 -
Pinot Noir. Always and forever.0

14 Hands Cabernet Sauvignon
Da Vinci Chianti
Chateau Michelle Riesling
I've had the Da Vinci Chianti. Very good wine.
You've got good taste!
I also like Zinfandel but not that crap "white" zinfandel stuff. Yuck yuck yuck! That has bastardized the grape and when people hear the name they immediately go to Berringer. There are so many delicious Zinfandel wines out there. People need to realize this.0 -
My sister turned me onto a red blend called Apothic. Here in NY it's about $10 a bottle. It's a good everyday wine, goes with a meal and also tastes great having a glass on its own. Even my boyfriend (total wine snob) likes it.0

Red!! Agree with the earlier poster about Argentina Malbec...Awesome! Love a good PInot or Merlot as well!0

Compromise between price and taste and go for a really beautiful pinot noir from 2009 in the Russian River Valley, preferably vintner's reserve.

This! A good pinot noir is everyones friend.0 -
Malbec is amazing! Try Cantana! Its is delish and right around $200

I don't know a dang thing about wine, have the palate of a child, and am totally broke. Those three things in mind, I like Barefoot Cellars red Moscato and Sweet Red.0

I'm a Reisling girl too!0

I usually pick white or rose wines.
A good , yet inexpensive choice is Naked Grape Cabernet.0 -
What food will you be drinking it with?
Nothing special, just a nice homemade sandwhich and the couch :-)0 -
South African Can Sauv does it for me every time!0

I love the Sweet Red Roo by Yellowtail. And at about $12 for a large bottle, you can't beat it!0
