Please not this review is for the White grape,raspberry and cranberry flavour.

Shloer is a sparkling juice drink, that comes in a variety of flavours, mostly grape juice. Its non alcoholic. Shloer is available in the UK and Ireland, and it is a juice drink aimed at the adult market.

There are 6 different flavours of Shloer that I am aware of, Red Grape, White Grape, Apple & white grape, White grape & elderflower, Sparkling rose and the one I am reviewing today White grape, raspberry and cranberry. Although I haven't yet seen it I believe there is now also an alcoholic version which is Rose' and berry punch.

Packaging-
This Shloer is in a 750ml clear glass bottle with a screw cap.
There is a large sticker on the front of the bottle, that has the word Shloer, a picture of a single grape, a raspberry and a cranberry in fizzy bubbles, the words sparkling juice drink and the flavour on it. When the bottle is empty this doesn't look like much, but when full as the drink is pink/red in colour it looks really effective.
There is also a sticker on the neck of the bottle which states, Free from preservatives, artificial colours, sweetners and flavourings.
The label on the back of the bottle is a clear sticker with white writing and although it is hard to red when the bottle is empty, its easy and clear to read when the bottle is full. This lasbel has all the contact information on it for Shloer, nutritional information, an ingredients list and storage information. There is also the statment ' A perfect blend of white grape, raspberry and cranberry juices, Shloer is lightly sparkling and refreshing. Best served shared with friends and family'

Taste and my view-
I do enjoy Shloer and find it a perfect drink to have at dinner parties. Its great for people who don't drink, when pregnant or for the drivers. I would say it really is an adults soft drink and its not something I can image my young son enjoying. However if the children want to have a little drink to feel grown up they can with no harm.
I choose this flavour of Shloer because I had tried others and quite enjoyed and I really love cranberries. I was a bit disappointed, as I felt the cranberry flavour doesn't really come through that well, and it just tasted alot like the other flavours of Shloer I had previously tried. There is only a very slight difference in taste from the other flavours. I would have liked a stronger cranberry taste. The drink does have a berry taste to it but if I hadn't have known what flavour/type of berries were in the drink I would never have guessed.
Shloer is perfect for an alternative to wine but it is not something I would choose to drink to cure my thrist. It is best served chilled, but even then I don't find it all that refreshing.

Overall it always goes down well at a dinner party and I enjoy a glass on a nightime when a glass of wine isn't suitable, like when I was pregnant. However I was disappointed with this flavour.
