A simple Sauvignon Blanc from California.
Light to medium in body with medium plus acidity.
Showing limes, grapefruits, earth, vegetables and spices
A little bitter on the ending for me.

First, I'm no wine expert and this is my first post. Easy to drink, light. Low calorie. Slightly sweet. Big chugs go down easy. Small sips give more of a "bite." 13.4% alcohol

You know that meme with the dog drinking coffee as hellfire burns round him and he insists to himself “this is fine”?
This really is fine. It tastes like wine. Like Sauvignon Blanc, even, with some slightly floral notes backing up lime and a freshly mowed lawn. It’s not the wine that invokes the image of flames.
It’s the bullshit marketing of calling this “Fitvine” that conjures flames in my psyche. Like…a Sauvignon Blanc with very little residual sugar isn’t that wild a proposition. So…I dunno it’s like sticking a label on an apple that says “vegan”. I am also curious about what the website calls the “proprietary process” that “takes out tannins, sugars, and histamines”…and they are proud of how heartily they filter.
Anyone remember Snackwells? The treats claiming to be a healthy alternative because they were fat free? When in reality the processing necessary and sugars added made them as bad if not worse for you than a single homemade chocolate chip cookie, especially as the “guilt free” aspect led many to eat the full box? Remember that?
I hereby call this brand the Snackwells of wine.
It’s fine. I guess.

Not a big fan. My keto friend sent me a link. I got this and another low carb cab by “life vine” that the lady at the store recommended. This is a bit on the “thin” side with a bitter acidity to it that tastes slightly artificial. The life vine cab was pretty good, so I think I’ll check our their whites next.

VERY dry, but also high acid and a hint of pineapple and peach. Perfect for rich pasta.

Jul 26th, 2020Great wine, especially since it has less sugar and sulfites. It’s not the best and for its price, I won’t get it often. However, as a runner I appreciate not getting a headache the night before a long run.

Seemed just like a homely Sauvignon Blanc. Better options for cheaper.

Nice light, easy to drink wine. Isn’t overly sweet but still fruity. Low calorie and low sulfite!
