Skinny Prosecco

Mmmm.... Not quite sure what to make of this.

The average glass of Prosecco is 80 calories....this new product is being marketed at 67....not really a massive gain/loss, however you want to think of it. ....you'll have to brush your hair once more (per glass), or clean your teeth again.

The general rule of thumb, is that natural sugar residue from the grapes, turns to alcohol....the riper, sweeter the grape, the higher the alcohol tends to be, and therefore more calorific ....slightly different for sparkling wines as raw sugar is added as part of the 'process'..."dosage", to balance the natural tartness.

We seem to have a product here that, all of a sudden, seems to be challenging the established way, or at least playing with it. My immediate thought is slightly sceptical.....is this someone trying to create a product that is in keeping with modern, healthy, feel good times, because no one else has?.......I'm sure time will tell. I'll happily taste it with an open mind.

May be it is a look to the future.

May be wine makers have been spot on for the past few centuries.

May be there is room for both....diet/light coke or regular coke?

As I always say to my customers, wine is like art, very personal, extremely subjective. One person's Rembrandt is another's Banksey....and long may that be the case!
