Interesting.

Interesting.

Red or white wine does contain only 1-2 carbs. It is the fruity and sweet ones that have more.

It looks like something you buy from the cheap bin at Dan Murphy's.

Dry white and reds don't affect my BGs. I don't think they've got any sugar in.

 

[gabi67]

Really I think it is too good to be true.

 

[Knikki]

Only 10%

Still,l would give it ago.

As said above, normal red wine has so few carbs that they are insignificant.

Probably mouth wash and cheap mouth wash at that. I'll stick with proper wine I think.

This looks a bit like 'gluten-free gin' to me, or 'fat-free coca-cola'. A bit of marketing spin that relies on the public not knowing that wine is generally very low-carb to begin with.

My first (slightly catty ) impression was that it was being marketed as wine for boozy floozies.

The site seems all hype and very little actual information unless I missed some vital links?

Cheap wine is called "tart fuel" here in Australia...

You might want to ask why "zero carbs zero sugar" is enclosed in quotes.
This is usually taken to mean that the claim is not accurate enough to stand up in court, or to a challenge by a press regulator or advertising standards body.

There is more carbs than you think.

Total Carbs(g)
Barbera4.10--4.10 Burgundy5.46--5.46 Cabernet Franc3.60--3.60 Cabernet Sauvignon3.82--3.82 Carignane3.53--3.53 Chianti4.011.17-4.01 Claret4.42--4.42 These numbers are just with a small glass and I know I have a larger glass at home..So if I have 3 glasses of red wine at home..I am probably racking up the Carbs. The wine above (Slim wine) is quite expensive. The are doing the sparkling wine in some Tesco stores at 12 quid a bottle. All I know is that the red Merlot that I have has no effect on my BG. The company calls it a healthy wine??..Yet still 10.5% Alcohol. The list is of ordinary wines..I was surprised at the amount of carbs.

Feels as if they are scamming the customers. If I hadn't been counting carbs, I wouldn't have known.
When they say you can enjoy as much as you want guilt free wine, the appear to say that there is no problem getting drunk as long as it is low carb. Hm..

Oh have just realised..the chart for the wine is nothing to do with (Slim Wine) sorry my mistake the way I have worded it. No this is ordinary wine...A couple of here said that there are hardly any carbs in wine. I was surprised also. I have edited my post to make it more clear
