So I rarely drink, but I LOVE wine. Being a young adult, most situations involve drinking with friends. I know a few glasses of wine can be a big loss of calories. So when I plan on doing it big, I set aside that 600 calories for an entire bottle.

So today, I went out to buy a bottle of moscato, knowing I will be having drinks with friends tonight. After I bought a bottle, I stopped into Trader Joes, where I found a peach sparkling wine. The calories on the back say 36 per 5 ounces, with 5 ounces in the bottle... that means an entire bottle for 180 calories. Is this too good to be true? Sure its probably not as high alcohol content as my regular high calorie wine, but Im sure a whole bottle would give me a small buzz

Is this too good to be true? I see many calorie tracking websites that have the same nutrition facts as the bottle has....



Anyone tried this or have any input on this? I just find it hard to believe.

If that's what it lists, then it's true. What are the indredients?

You can see the first few ingredients in the picture - wine, water, sugar, "peach aroma"

So basically it's watered down, sugared-up wine. You could try mixing wine with some sparking water and get the same effect (with less sugar).

Sorry, I love good wines, and weakening it to reduce calories would ruin it for me. I'd rather drink less than more to keep it in my calorie allotment for the day.

But each person is different in how they want to work it and that's the beauty of calorie counting, finding ways to make it work for you and your needs.

Have fun!
