a glass of wine...

Since I am eating healthy, wine counts as a fruit right?

j/k

Well...the "old" me would have to agree with you. (hehe)

I miss my wine too. I would love a glass of a nice moscato right now.

Personally I don't have any problem with having a glass of wine, I just count the calories like everything else and don't overdo it.

I feel ya! I used to have at least one or two glasses of merlot every night! Wine is one those things were "in moderation" comes into full effect for me. I'm sure I can live without it but I don't want to.

IF, and that's a big IF, you can limit yourself to one glass and not make it a bottle, with cheese, crackers, chocolate,etc., etc., etc., then I say have your wine if you enjoy it.

I know that in theory wine is just like everything else and can be worked into a calorie budget but something really weird happens to me when I have a glass or two, I become utterly convinced that I should start scoffing everything I can get my hands on, not a full-on binge, just an overwhelming desire to 'taste' everything in the 'fridge.

I don't get the same thing with gin so I'm sticking to the hard stuff.

I'm like Trudiha - wine makes me hungry.... spirits don't effect my hunger.

[Sammyann]

Me too. Wine makes me hungry. It lasts the whole next day too. Not just wine though, any alcohol.

Alcohol in moderation, especially red wine, is actually healthy for you! Have a drink! Just count the calories, as others have said.
