A question asked by Zelman: How many carbohydrates are in a bottle of wine?
I’m thinking about changing my lifestyle to lose weight and feel more resourceful. I noticed that some brands now offer “Low-Carb Beer” – I assume now that wine also has carbohydrates in it. Just how many are typically in there, does anyone know? And what types of wine are low in carbs?

Question by Mark: What is a descent bottle of wine, for a wine tasting party?
My wife is going to a wine tasting party and wants to take a bottle and ask me for my thoughts, I dont drink wine so could not help her, but maybe someone here can. Please can someone recommend a brand, type, year, i need to know where to get started.

Does the tasting party have a theme? Because it would kind of be a faux pas to show up with, say, a bottle of white when the party theme is all reds, or a bottle of zinfandel when the theme is pinot grigio. That being said, I tend to keep to this general idea: don’t go too expensive OR too cheap (no Two-buck Chuck), look for something interesting (maybe a smaller producer, or a less well known area, like a Michigan wine if you’re out on the west coast), keep an open mind, and don’t be offended or disappointed if nobody likes the wine (including you).

Here are three of my favorites:
Leelanau Cellars Winter White
Brancott Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc (any vintage, I recall 2006-2007 were good)
Napa River Merlot
