Want to curb your calorie count? Try non-alcoholic wine. It might seem like an oxymoron, but thanks to a new processes, manufacturers are creating wines that are alcohol-free. You may ask, “what’s the point?” Well, the point is to deliver the benefits of wine – the polyphenols that play a role in preventing heart disease – with none of the risks. Since the average glass of wine packs 90 calories per four ounce serving, it could increase triglyceride levels and blood pressure. Therefore, people who are pregnant or have certain health risks have been flocking to companies such as Sutter Home, Carl Jung, and Ariel Vineyards. These companies manufacture a variety of non-alcoholic wines by filtering or vacuuming the alcoholic content out of the wines. Though the alcohol and bitterness are out, a sweet, fruity taste and all the health benefits are in!
