Up until this past weekend I had yet to try out any of the SkinnyGirl Cocktails. In fact I thought there were only two options: margarita or sangria. But while I was at CVS I saw that there are now SkinnyGirl Wines. Way to go on the product placement CVS!
Naturally while I was waiting for a prescription to be filled I was perusing the wine aisle…how else was I going to kill time? On the end cap of the wine aisle was the SkinnyGirl wines, like I said I had no idea those existed. I’ve heard good things about the Sangria, but have yet to actually try it. I believe my CVS only had the California Red or the California White but according to the SkinnyGirl website there is also a Rose.
Now, if you’ve ever looked into the calorie count of a glass of red wine there is a little wiggle room. Depends on the size of the glass and the type of wine that you have selected. But generally the calorie range is 105 calories to 125 calories in a 5 oz serving. The SkinnyGirl wines claim to have only a 100 calories per glass. So as you can see, it doesn’t really beat your favorite glass of red wine by a whole lot.
I am really impressed with this little empire Bethenny Frankel has built and really wanted to like this wine…but to be honest it wasn’t a wine I enjoyed or really want to have again and I was really bummed about that! This wine tasted watery to me…almost like to keep the calorie count down they watered down the wine. But, this hasn’t deterred me, I will still try some of the Ready to Serve Cocktails and even possibly the vodkas. I might even give the White blend a try just to see how it compares to other whites.
The price point on this wine really wasn’t all that bad. I picked it up for $10.99. Have you tried any of the SkinnyGirl Cocktails? What did you think?
