New Product Review: Skinny Grape Shiraz

At last: a low-calorie option for red wine lovers! 

The latest addition to the Skinny Grape family is a Shiraz unlike any other. Keeping in line with the other Skinny Grape varieties, the Shiraz is only 80 calories per glass (albeit a small glass, 142ml or 5 oz). This Shiraz is a nice and dry red, coming in at a 1 on the sugar scale and only 1 gram of sugar per glass. The Skinny Grape whites and rosé are a bit sweeter, so I was pleasantly surprised that the Shiraz was more dry. 

The Rise of Wine-Based Cocktails

What will they think of next? 

Wine-based cocktails seem to be growing in popularity, at least here in Ontario. Panama Jack’s has a line of flavoured wine-based creams that imitate Bailey’s Irish Cream, Cafe del Sol’s coffee liquor provides an alternative to Kahlua, and Cartier Irish Cream is another Bailey’s copycat.
