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.

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.
