Isnt it one of life's travesties that a decent Sauvignon Blanc carries so many damn calories?

    Try a nice Merlot or Cabernet. :) I do believe they tend to have less calories than the white wines.

    Yeah, But the headache? Dont get on with red wine. Now. if only they made a low calorie white, that didnt taste like mouthwash....

    Ahh, gotcha. I'm more of a red wine person but I understand that sometimes red doesn't agree with people. It's sad that truly good wine is not a low-calorie option. :(

    I can sympathize, although white wine gives me a raging headache. I have definitely cut out red wine from my diet, although I still crave that one relaxing glass of wine after a stressful day. Sometimes the best things in life are the worst things for you lol...I just wish they'd make my favorite red in those tiny little bottles, all I want is one glass, I hate re-corking a bottle.

    Re-corking a bottle? How does that work then? Sounds way to scientific.

    haha so you're against re-corking a bottle too? I thought it was just me, I didn't actually have scientific proof why you should never re-cork a bottle, I was just strongly against it.

    I've got one of those vacuum thingies that pumps the air out of the bottle and puts a top on it so it'll last in the fridge!

    although...ahem....I rarely open a bottle I don't intend to finish!

    could be why I switched to boxes....rofl!

    Ah but the biggest tragedy is that men are 'allowed' to drink more than a woman according to doctors!

    It's not the drinking of the wine that is the issue for me. It's the magnetic effect of the fridge that happens afterwards that causes the problems

    Haha, I know, right? I have one drink and suddenly my mouth needs *something* and everything looks pretty good!

    Pfft, white wine, red wine....I could really care less for either.

    Mead, though. I will sell my body to science for a bottle of mead.

    Come to me, my honey-distilled darling!!!!

    Well isnt that something. Every respondent here is female as far as I can see. You girls love your wine. And as an admirer of the female mind and intellect, ( body too, but lets not go there) I sense kindered spirits. Tommi, mead? Good lord. I think the secret with a good bottle of wine is never to cork it. Sacriledge. Even Californian wine doesnt deserve that. ( Sorry my US friends, but its way behind Nw Zealand). Now, how the hell do we get the calories down?????
