    Hi Folks.

    Have not the foggiest where to post this so please bear with me. My wief is currently in WW. I usually try buy her ww wine in ashbourne or drogheda but its hard to find.

    Anyway a lad in tesco was telling me that lindmans or something actually has lower points. Can anyone shed any light on what one it is and where i might get it.

    She is making such a good effort it would be nice to help.

    The white is a Sauvignon Blanc
    http://www.obrienswine.ie/Wine/Australia/WhiteWine//08WAUS019/

    and the red is a shiraz
    http://www.obrienswine.ie/Australia/RedWine/5--to-10-//08WAUS018/

    They're low in alcohol 8.5 so that's what brings down the points

    Your brilliant. Do you have any idea what the points are or do i need to move that to a different thread.

    Sorry I've never been on weightwatchers so don't have a clue.
    There's a how many pro points thread in this forum.
    I'm sure if you asked there someone would know :)

    I ended up getting the weight watchers fruity on as the boss knows how many is in it and its 3 euro cheaper although in this case its not the money.

    Thanks for all your help

    Alcohol is very hard to point as we need to account for the sugars

    but if you can get the following info per 100ml i can give it a stab protein/carbs / fat and fibre also the size of the bottle
    :D

    I just started ww. and there are some conflicts. In my ww book it says lite beer is 2 pts but when I calculate it, its say o pts. What should I go by?

    Go by what's in the book. You can't calculate points for alcohol the same way as you calculate for other food as the % of alcohol is taken into account

    Alcohol has energy. So the forumla you used was wrong. There is a formula that accounts for accohol.

    Also, WW wine as mentinoed in the OP is normal low strength wine. There's nothing different about it.
