Low Carb Wine
Now it is possible to get low-carb wine.
“Charlie Letezio, owner of Pond Point Wine and Spirits, is watching his carbs on the Zone diet.
He says the California wines named 1.6 and 1.9 offer people on Atkins or South Beach an alternative.
“This was off a lot of people’s menu’s. This can bring it back to them.”
This low carb wine has half the carbs of regular wine, but how does it taste? We put it to the test.
The verdict: they like it. However, even though the carbs are low, the calories are about the same as a regular glass of wine”
The article doesn’t explain how the wine is actually made, and Bob Kron, personal trainer, makes an interesting point about the level of sugar in the wine.
“Even though it’s low in carbs, they have to still ferment it somehow, having that in the glass or bottle of wine doesn’t really make it that much better for you.”
I’m not entirely convinced that low-carb wine is a good idea…..
