red or white wine please

Either as long as they're dry. If sweet they'll be richer in carbs. I always go for a Cabernet.

From Google - Research has shown that drinking white wine helps keep lung tissues healthy. Cons: White wines are the most acidic, meaning they're the worst for your teeth. In addition, whites contain far less of the heart-healthy and cancer-preventing antioxidants than reds do, and have about the same amount of calories.25 Feb 2016

A couple of glasses of dry red wine like a merlot doesn't affect my BG control.

I find red wine has a negligible effect on bg levels.

Prosecco - very dry - doesn't affect my BG at all.
Second best is a dry red.
I can't drink white - instant indigestion

Dry and strong is best so all the sugar has been fermented out!

I'm led to believe red is better and has proven benefits for heart health as well . .

Although, I think you should treat some of the studies with some caution.

Personally, I like a nice bottle (not all at once) of Pinot Noir or a glass of Prosecco

As with everything it's about personal preference. You can always check bs after a glass, allow time to get into system, to see if either has an effect on your bloods.
Enjoy finding out!!
