Low Calorie Wine 101: Sip Smart with these Wines

Who says you can't have your wine and drink it too? If you're looking to cut calories without sacrificing the joy of a good glass of vino, we've got you covered! In this article, we're spilling the beans (or should we say, the grapes?) on low-calorie wines that bring the party to your palate while being naturally low in sugar, carbs, and calories. No diet wine here, this is the good stuff. Get ready to raise your glass and toast to a (relatively) guilt-free indulgence.

Unlocking the magic of low-calorie wines

While many companies (who shall remain nameless) are slinging "skinny wine" or "diet wine," we're here to spill the secret that many dry wines from reputable producers are naturally low in sugar, calories, and carbs. You don't need to sacrifice flavor or soul to have a beautiful, low-calorie glass of wine.

You may be thinking, "Hmm... I'm suspicious, how can high quality wines also be low calories?"

The secret lies in a few key factors:

1. Alcohol content: One of the main culprits behind wine's calorie count is alcohol. Lower calorie wines keep the alcohol levels in check, delivering the goods without the extra calories.

2. Sugar sensibility: Sugar is another source of calories in wine. Mass-producers may add sugar to their wines to make them more palatable to customers. With "dry" wines, the fermentation process is allowed to finish completely, and all the residual sugar in wine is converted to alcohol and C02. Look for dry styles with little-to-no residual sugar – all Maker wines are dry with 0g of sugar and under 5 carbs per serving.

3. Light and bright styles: Some wine styles are naturally low in calories thanks to their lighter body and brightness. So, if you're counting calories, start with sparkling wines, crisp whites, and delightful rosés. Our White and Sparkling Mixed Pack is a great place option.
