Hi there, I enjoy the occasional glass of wine but have received conflicting advice about it (apart from keeping intake low, which I accept). Because I understand that it's not just the sugar content that affects blood glucose, but the alcohol itself, I have been buying non-alcoholic white wine recently. The label says it has 5gms sugar per 100ml. Normal wine does not give a measure on the bottle so I don't know if this is higher or lower than standard wine. Is it better to drink this because the alcohol is removed or worse because the sugar content might be higher? While we're on the subject, which wine is better, red, dry white or fizz? My diabetic nurse told me when I was diagnosed 5 years ago that champagne was the best, if I was drinking it at all.
