Advantages: Sharp, tangy, fruity - if you like that sort of drink

Disadvantages: Expensive

I was browsing the wine isle in Tesco last week, looking to purchase a bottle of Chardonnay, when I saw this Weight Watchers Fruity White wine.

Now I really am NO wine expert at all and obviously my taste buds have deteriorated in comparison to those of the other reviewers of this wine, for unlike them, I found it quite pleasant. Although not as 'smooth' as some wines I have tasted, it was pleasantly sharp and tangy. I can't say that I recognised the claimed apple and pear aroma, but then, my olfactories may also be a tad run down - age has its compensations.

It is said to go well with sushi, fish and chicken dishes, well my first glass went with cottage pie, so perhaps that is why the tangy fruitiness suited my withering taste buds.
I can imagine that if drunk with fish dishes, the tartness of the wine could overpower the more delicate flavours of fish - Ooops, I was beginning to sound like an expert there!

Seriously folks, I did like this wine, it won't replace my liking for Chardonnays, but I wouldn't refuse a free bottle now and again.

Here are some of the typical values given:

Each glass of 125ml (a quarter of a pint) contains 80 calories.
Its value in units is 1.1points per glass.

Sugars: 2.8gm
Alcohol: 9%
Sodium: trace.
No fats, fibres and just a trace of protein.
Price per bottle at Tesco: £4.48 , which I thought too expensive.

I would not recommend this to any of those experts with a more refined taste for wines. But for any who, like me, enjoys a sharp fruity hit on their tongues - try it.

Summary: If you like smooth, don't buy this one.
