I drink one to two glasses of red wine a day. Since I am female one glass is probably better but anyway does anyone have an opinion on when is the best time of day to drink wine for the healthiest benifits, i.e. weight loss?

Favourite line: " And, more importantly: Mice and bumblebees are not people."
OP, if you enjoy a glass or two of red wine each day, and are happy using some of your calories for that, carry on. Just don't expect it do do anything magical in the weight loss department.5 -
Anytime. I can have a glass with lunch or dinner as long as I stay within my calories limit.2

Adding any food or drink to your daily calories will not help you lose weight, in fact just the opposite.1 -
I enjoy a glass of wine or two as well. I tend to have one before dinner, and sometimes one with dinner.
There is no "best" time, as far as I know, weight loss wise.2 -
As stated by others, anytime where you are not going over your calories and not drinking too much overall.1

Hope that I'm misreading your post but you don't seriously think drinking red wine will actually help weight loss?
Drink it by all means but it has calories.3 -

It was big woo news about a year ago, based on one study done on mice that resulted in a million 'news' articles titled 'Drink red wine to lose weight!'.1 -

Wow!
Was that about the time the word "Gullible" was removed from every dictionary?

Well I never. Scientific studies grossly misrepresented by the press? Never happens! Ahem.......
OP, there's no best time other than when you have the calories to fit it in. Two glasses a day probably is above the recommend maximum, at least if your glasses are anything like the size of my glasses.4 -

Can't stand red wine, is revolting stuff.
* answer applies to N=1, N = everybody else: whenever you like from a weight loss point of view. As long as you allow for the calories, of course.

1) while laughing silly with your dearest girls
2) as soon as you get home after a hell shift at work
3) at a family function when your aunt is telling you in detail about her gynae issues18 -

When the kids are home because of a snow day.9

Not ideal to drink alcohol of any type before bed. You burn the most body fat for fuel at rest and sleep is usually your longest rest time. But if you have alcohol in your system, it has to be metabolized completely before any other fuel source can be used. So having alcohol in your system would deter any fat from being burned until it's metabolized.

When you haven't eaten in a while - it's more effective that way.7

If I'm drinking, I try to avoid calorie dense foods before/during/immediately because of the reason posted by @ninerbuff above.0

There are two best times to drink wine - when with friends and when eating good food.7

I'm thinking now is a good time.10

In terms of weight loss, I think the best time to drink red wine would be just before bed. That way you will have no opportunity to replenish any fluids before your morning weigh in (assuming you empty your bladder before stepping on the scales), and the scales will reward your dehydrating ways.3

It makes absolutely no difference when you drink it. Enjoy!2

Well.. wine is extra calories with little to no satiety effect so the best for weight loss would be to switch it for a zero calorie beverage such as water. That would give you a greater deficit and therefore more weight loss (assuming you kept the rest of your calorie intake constant).
There is nothing magic about red wine that helps weight loss, if that was your question.
What wine may do for your heart it does the opposite for your liver so in terms of other health benefits... not sure there are any.0 -

Satiety is very individual -- I personally find a glass of red wine very satisfying.
Anything that you skip and don't replace is going to create a larger deficit. Wine is no different from salad dressing or a bowl of soup or cream in coffee in that regard (of course, individuals may find those things more or less satisfying and that's a factor too).
If one's goal is to create a larger deficit, absolutely skip the wine. But if you have a set number of calories within a day, I find that spending 120 calories on 5 ounces of wine can be very satisfying and I know some other people feel the same way.6
