I tried Fever Tree and it was very nice, 40kcal per 100ml and I would prefer zero, so switched to Old Jamaica, which is definitely not as nice, but less calories. The Fever Tree is still half the calories of wine, but even so, I always grudge calories in drinks.
New Me, agree with you about Old Jamaica, but it's still not bad.I don't drink very much ginger beer when I have it - a small glass and then that's it for the evening - it's really to give me that sense that I've got home from work and "had a drink", and can relax. Then I can get on with my evening.

Thanks for the tip. I, too, would prefer zero calories which is what puts me off many soft drinks plus I don't like sweet things. It'll be good to have something cold available as an alternative to mugs of tea.
Good plan WBF, reading the thread will be a distraction.
No drinking planned today.
