Hi, I'm also a wine lover, who does her best to fit the 'wine calories' in every weekend. Years ago I used to love the sweet whites, but now I only drink reds. I like the blends and at the moment enjoy a nice Shiraz Cabernet.

Hello fellow wine drinkers! I was first introduced to High Pass Winery Scheurebe at a wedding almost two years ago, and have been a wine drinker ever since. These days I mostly stick to Chardonnay or Cabernet Sauvignon, since they are supposed to be lower in sugar and carbs and fit into my diet, but do enjoy almost any bottle I open.

I enjoy a glass or two of wine almost every night- and am working to keep my wine in my lifestyle. I do notice that when I go over my 10 ounce limit that my weight is impacted, but if I stick to around one 5 ounce glass my weight is not impacted. Has anyone else noticed their limits with regards to wine?

Happy Independence Day to all!

If you like sweet but haven't warmed up to reds, try these from southern Italy: Madrigale Primitivo di Manduria Dolce Naturale, or passito, which is in general a sweet red dessert wine. Also, fragolino is a lightly fizzy, strawberry wine that is very easy to drink.

Thanks for this information. I have been looking for sweat red wines. Would I be able to purchase these at local grocery stores or would I have to order them?

Hello, I wasn't into wine until I started dating my wife. Her father was always wanting to share a bottle when I would visit her. Since then I have found I really enjoy reds. So far my all time favorite is Da Vinci Chianti! I've had several vintages and they've all been great! But I do enjoy trying all wines. Another favorite for special occasions is Ice Wine. It's usually a very sweet white wine made from grapes that were harvested after the first freeze and that helps to concentrate the sugars.

Hey so glad to have some fellow wine lovers/weight loss friends! I love Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio for whites, which is usally my go-to but I also love a nice Shiraz.
I would LOVE to go on a wine tour, I don't claim to know anything about wine, usually my choices are Yellow Tail or Fish Eye...the cheap brands but I do love them. Someday I hope to know more and have a more "refined palate"

Had an ice wine with brandy that a friends' sister brought from Toronto for her wedding. VERY good, but VERY expensive!! Something like $50 and the bottle is about half the size of a "normal" bottle of wine.

That's it! I'm finding ice wine and chocolate wine!

Hey my name is Alex. I love sweet wines I know there not the best for you. I love to get ones from the local vineyards here in Virginia.

Hey y'all! I don't know if I have a favorite wine. I will try any wine at least once if not multiple times, season to season my taste for wines changes. I always have a verity of wines at the house from the local winery and will occasionally pick up a bottle at the store to try. I don't know if anyone has purchased a bottle that was just horrible, but I know I have and when I do get that bottle I just can't just I always use a mixer about half wine (depending on how BAD it is) and the other half sprite zero, or diet coke with some ice. Makes the wine much better and then I don't waste the money by throwing it out. I am a huge red fan, blushes are okay, and Whites are good once in a while as well. I have a blast at wineries and doing wine tastings. I have cut back on all alcohol intake since joining MFP but still enjoy to drink a few now and again. Hope we can use this group to find new wines to try and the ones that we should probably stay away from.

I LOVE Wine so I make sure I save some calories to enjoy it during the weekends. Mostly I love Pinot grigio, especially Santa Margarita. Lately I have also enjoyed Malbec, but I'm not picky!
