For diabetics, choose a dry wine, one that contains low sugars. Most dry red wines are quite suitable. My favorite is shiraz, although merlot is also quite good. I really like the australian wines as well, my favorites are Rosemount, Lindemans and Penfolds. A cabernet can be a good wine, although some start to verge on slightly sweet. If you are not ready for red wine, you can start with a white wine, but again select a dry rather than a sweet wine. Although I hear that the 2008 Boones Farm vintage is much heralded, I think it is much too sweet.
