Light Wine

I don't even know how to start explaining the idea of making a low sugar, low calorie wine. We've been bombarded with horrible tasting low calorie beers for a while now (see my old post about that abomination here), but I thought wine would be a little safer. I was wrong.

This wine comes from France where they have developed grapes that grow naturally with a lower sugar content bringing the glass count to a whopping 60 calories. It not only is nearly sugar free but also touts a lower alcohol level.

"We are targeting a population that is very conscious of eating and drinking healthily. They also want to watch their weight and also don't want to lose points on their driving license if they drink," explains Claude Vialade, one of the vintners behind "So Light".

The DMV thanks you.... and evidently there is no taste difference between this and a higher alcohol version and they expect to sell MILLIONS of bottles.

I'm not going to be one of those sales. I really don't want gimmick wine. I just want great wine - is that so much for a Real Woman to ask for?

Read their sales pitch here at WPTV.com and let me know what you think...
