I don't know what brand is healthiest, so I suggest having a smaller wine glass - then it appears full, but it's a smaller portion over all. Restriction but not denying the wine intake is the key. If you deny yourself, you'll want it even more and are more likely to binge. The same goes for your food - use a smaller plate when serving. Good luck. Red wine is healthier for your heart.

I mean, if you prefer the fruity, after dinner dessert wines, then those are high in sugar. But, alcohol converts into sugar, so if you are serious about your diet, then you need to give up the booze. You're generally safe with a Merlot or a Chardonnay. Avoid all Blancs, Zinfendales and Reislings. It’s not the color, it’s the kind.

Just one, with your meal. There are a lot of anti-oxidants in wine and flavenoids, which are good for you, so go ahead an enjoy. Only one ;) A glass of red is great. Just one, with your meal.

It is better for you and I think the calorie counts are the same. Red is better for you all around because it is so high in antioxidants and those other things – flavenols?
