dark red maybe? I have a big bottle of white zinfandel. not opened it yet.

carb counter says all wine is 8oz is 7cbs.

so is one better then the others.

I'd say you have to test it and see...my neighbour across the road who is diabetic swears by her dry white wine...never spikes her...I had a glass of the same wine and I didnt spike either...but I'd say it depends on the person...and um how much you drink

the last time I had white wine it was Reisling.

I darn near drank the whole bottle . it is sooooooooooo good.

Maybe I shouldn't be buying any of that .

I like the Rieslings too, if they aren't too sweet. Just nice & fresh & fruity.

Many red wines are only between 1 and 3 carbs for each liter wine.
A dry white wine is also guite ok for me, but Riesling is usually too much carbs for me.

In Norway there has to be a label with how much carbo there is in the wine, and if it is missing we ask the salesmen at Vinmonopolet, the only place we can buy wine legally.
The norwegian diabetes society sent me a list with some of the wines a while ago.
I also think if you google the brand you are interested in, you can find information about carbs.
Jacobs Creek is one of the red wines with little carbo.

I only drink the dark reds like Merlot, Cabernet or Malbec. I have never had problems with bg spiking. Usually the alcohol takes care of any spiking.

I also drink only red - mostly pinot noir. The best thing about all these diabetes changes is knowing I don't have to give that up.

Here are some general carb counts, though I'm sure vineyards vary somewhat.

how much glass of wines listed in this thread can we drink ?

 

[Patdart]

I drink what I want. I'm allergic to the most of red wines, so I concentrate on the whites.

YMMV!

 

[David Burke]

Never been much of a wine drinker but I like cooking with a chardonnay. If I want alcohol I guess im just too much of a southern boy and stick with my JD. Lol

I have 1 large wine glass full. I like red wine's. The only white I like is Reisling's.

truth be told I sometimes have 1 glass with dinner then another small one with a hunk of chedder cheese at bedtime.

I like red wine if I mix it with some diet ginger ale, can't drink it other wise. Jim Beam Ginger ale, splash of lime juice for me.

Kens Creek from Australia has 0,5 carbs for each LITER wine.
