Hi Carol,
I just looked up some information on Famega and it looks delicious! Since it contains a slightly lower alcohol content than most white wines (9.5% verses 11%) it would be slightly lower in calories (but just slightly:)
Cheers!

I heard that the white wine Famega is lower in calories. Can you tell me the nutritional content?

Mississippi, we are new wine drinkers too, we love the SUTTER HOME Moscato which is a sweet, white wine and cheap too ($6?)! Red wines are better for your health, but I haven't found a sweet one I like yet. Can anyone recommend?

I REALLY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING MUCH ABOUT WINE IAM NOT A DRINKER OF ANY ALCOHOL BUT I HAVE BEEN HEARING LATELY THAT DRINKING WINE IS REALLY GOOD FOR YOU IN MODERATION OF COURSE, SO IF THIS IS SO, CAN ANYONE DIRECT ME TO A GOOD WINE FOR A BEGINNER? I WOULD PREFER IT TO HAVE A LOW ALCOHOL CONTENT AND TO BE KINDA FRUIT/PEACHY FLAVORED. OF COURSE, IT HAS TO TASTE GOOD. THANKS WAITING IN MISSISSIPPI.

Oak Leaf ( I've only found it at Walmart) is very good whether pinoit grigio chenin blanc, chardonnay, or a merlot only $2.97 a bottle you should give it a try.

Most white wines are around 100 calories for a 4 ounce glass..or…as I like to think of it, 2 weight watchers points..

On the WW plan I have 35 bonus points to use per week…so if I save all for alcohol I can have 17 glasses of wine….wootwoot..

spaced out of course!!

I usually buy the white wine from "The Thousand Island Winery" . They are located in Alexandria Bay Upstate New York.
I love the wines.
You can get sweet or non sweet ones.
Price range is around 10 or 12$.
I prefer the "Niagara" one.
It is an inexpensive way to support national winery's!

My wife and I can't get away from Columbia Crest Chardonnay. It goes for 13.99 for a 1.5 bottle in KY. Have tried others but this has been the best for the money.
