As long as it's dry, you can have both red and white.

Enjoy!!!

I prefer red , but which ever enjoy but not on an empty stomach

Red wine has little effect on my bg levels, try a couple of glasses before the weekend in the comfort of your own home and see what effect it has on you. Enjoy your festival.

I wonder if it's reducing your levels, or just reducing the speed at which your liver releases glucose (because it's too busy processing alcohol instead)? Red wine is my preference because it has less sugar than most whites. A dry white, such as a Muscadet or Reisling, probably isn't too bad but I'm guessing that some of the more popular varieties, such as Sauvignon Blanc and - even more so - Chardonnay, are quite high in sugars. As for a nice Sauternes or Montbazillac, don't even go there

I agree, why drink a bottle of red wine when a few single malts will do the same thing
