Which wines have less calories, or less sugar?

(Dry means "not sweet"). i guess that the number of calories a wine has mostly has to do to how much sugar there is, so dessert wines have the most calories. Dessert wines can be red or white.

I always have both, dry red and white, in the house for cooking.

As the only 2 choices are red and white, I picked white as red gives me a screaming headache after 2 glasses.

It's vile for hangovers as well, even if it tastes much better than the white stuff.

points!

mead is pretty lovely. =)

as far as red vs. white, i generally prefer red. my friend gave me the name of the cheap, super tasty wine she gets in Missouri. i don't claim to be an expert or a snob; a cheap, tasty red is nice enough for me. ^_^

i would like to get more "into" wine, though. it just seems like there's so much information there, and it's really quite an art form. maybe i'll go adventuring someday and really explore it.

I love wine although I am not a daily consumer of it. My wine drinking is mostly social... dinner at nice restaurants, family clebrations, that sort of thing. My favorite red is Cabernet Sauvignon, my favorite white is Gewurztraminer although I also enjoy a good oaky Chardonnay.

The one wine I will not drink - EVER! - is Merlot... taste like... I dunno, it's just bad.

ETA: Smack me upside the head! How could I forget? I also enjoy wine during "cabin time" (coming soon...WOO-HOO). Any wine is made better when it is served to you by a beautiful, naked, kneeling female.

Status: offline 		I enjoy white more than red, but i think that's simply because i am allergic to regular wine, its worse with reds.   But i think i would like reds better if i could drink it.    On an aside, how many people are allergic to regular wines and can only drink organic?

I get major flu symptoms after a couple sips of wines i mean debilitating within minutes where i have aching in by back, ears and neck and my body becomes weaker and i can barely stand up.

I always forget what it is but its whatever they add to it, reds are worse than whites.

I talked to some wine people and they told me i am allergic to "whatever the name was" that is added and i have the double whammy of having it to both red and white wines, so told me to try organic wine and it works - it has less if none of the "whatever the name was" and lacks pesticides and such!  But i haven't come across anyone else who has this reaction with regular wines. 

Anyone else experience this?

I do use some red wine for heating and mulling over the holidays. I have NO idea what the calories for that is.

In response to some of the posts:

It is likely the tannin in the red wines that is giving people headaches. Red wine is made using grape skins and white wines are not. There are a lot of tannins in the grape skins. (Also in the oak aging barrels.)

Angel ~ Are you looking for the term 'sulfites'?

Where to learn about wines: (1)Use a locally owned and operated liquor store for your alcohol purchases. Talk to the guy that owns the store. Tell him what you are looking for. For example, a nice white table wine in a such and such price range. A red wine to sauté beef for a stew. (2)Go to some wine tastings. You will find these all over the place from high dollar to bring your own bottle. Do a Google search for wine tasting and your town and state. (3)Drop by a winery or two when you are traveling. They are typically listed on the freeway signs under "Attractions."

I like lambrusco if I'm drinking red. It's cheap, but it's a sweet red table wine and it's not kept warm it's refrigerated.
