    Dry wine, usual reds, although some whites are dry.

    I have been keto for over 2 years have had wine about once a week from the start. Always stick with dry reds or dry whites are mostly ok too as far as I know, but I always drink red.
    You will really want to make sure to get a good dose of sodium (maybe 1000mg) and a glass of water before bed if you drink more than a single glass. Trust me. You'll be awefuly dehydrated the next day if you don't and feel like crap! This is true with any alcohol consumption. You also tend to get drunk much easier on low carb. Be aware of that and pace yourself.

    You can feel like crap the next day a lot easier! I still enjoy red wines. Sometimes I mix it up with diet sprite for a simple sangria! Just keep an eye on carbs....as always. :)

    For whites, I like chardonnay or pinot grigio...for reds, merlot mostly for cooking but someone has to drink the leftovers, and pinot noir for drinking.

    In the summer I sometimes get tired of drinking plain water so will add about 1-2 oz of white wine to 14-15 oz of water for a bit of flavor.

    Ditto what has already been said. I will add that DRY champagne style whites have the least carbs.
