Using the US point system:
1/2 c cooked grean peas = 1 point
1/2 c cooked rice = 2 points
1 c cooked regular pasta = 4 points
1 c cooked whole wheat pasta = 3 points
4 oz wine = 2 points

I have heard that they are planning on introducing the Core plan to the UK
soon so this info should get you started.
