We shall all be ringing in the New Year tomorrow, and for many of us that means a champagne toast, or two, or three. While the average glass of champagne contains 91 calories [1], I would like to suggest toasting with dry champagne, as sweet champagne [2] is just dry champagne with added sugar. And you all know how I feel about added sugar [3].

Look for bubbly with the word brut [4] on the label. Brut is champagne speak for "dry" and signifies a lower sugar content and a drier wine. Laurent Perrier Ultra Brut [5] is popular with actresses and supermodels, famous for counting calories, because it contains only 65 calories per glass. Considered bone dry, a bottle of this ultra brut retails for $55 [6] — low cal champagne doesn't run cheap. The drier the champagne, the better it tastes with salty and savory foods like low calorie oysters [7] and caviar [8]. What are you planning to sip on New Year's Eve?
