Weightwatchers wine?

Saruman

I have not brought myself to try these.
Anyone actually tried them? I was wondering are they nice light and refreshing? Sweet etc?
Or are they rotten?

Haven't tried their wine, but remember what WW call a 'glass' is tiny (125ml).

A friend of mine was merrily swigging away, happy in the knowledge WW considered a glass of wine a mere two points until she worked out what she was calling a 'generous glass of red' was almost THREE of what WW called a glass.

125ml actually IS a standard glass. You get six of these from a standard 750ml wine bottle.

I have dainty, tasting glasses that I drink my wine from. 125ml doesn't look so mean in one of these.

A lot of WW products are not low in calories at all. They simply are small portions, or quote small portions on the pack. Many "normal" buiscuits are lower in calories than WW ones, same goes for bread and cakes. A low calorie wine is simply a dry wine or one low in alcohol.

Went to a weight watchers class many moons ago and the leader said that the wine is sh*t and that it is better to drink a small glass of ordinary wine that you enjoy rather than a glass of weight watchers wine and not enjoy it:D

As far as I know the WW wines are just over-priced average German wines. For the price you could get a much better Riesling that'd have the same effect on your waistline. Like rubadub said, you just need a dry or low % wine.

Gin and slimline tonic is the lowest you will get points wise.

Or straight vodka... that'll get ya movin'
