Low calorie Booze? Errr YES PLEASE! SkinnyBooze is the only place in the UK where you can find a range of reduced calorie alternatives AND I was lucky enough to be sent a huge case to trial and review for you guys!
I was so excited when these bad boys turned up! Don’t get me wrong.. I am not really a big drinker, so it has taken me quite a while to work my way through these beauties.. (with a little bit of help from some friends and family). But I have enjoyed the fact I can enjoy a glass or two now and then without breaking the daily Syns!
So Who Are SkinnyBooze?
Taken From Their Website:
Since launching in 2012, they have searched far and wide to find the finest alcohol available with fewer calories to bring to the UK market. Perfecting this range gradually over time, SkinnyBooze now offers the UK’s most exciting collection of lower calorie wine, beer, champagne, gin and premixed cocktails. Ensuring that the only compromise is the number of calories contained, we make sure that the drinks we sell are of the highest quality, truly innovative, and something you would be delighted to share with your friends and family.
Arrival Of The Package
Well I have to say.. this bit was awesome!! When I was told 6 bottles of wine were being delivered I was rather sceptical as to how they were going to arrive… We all know glass and delivery companies do NOT mix!!
However I was very pleasantly surprised! Each bottle was extremely well packaged.. there was no way those bottles were going anywhere.
So What’s The Catch?
Absolutely nothing.. I hear you saying “it’s low calorie it must be tasteless”! Absolutely not.. The wine is delicious. All of the products have reduced sugar content and calories without compromising on flavour and quality.
They also offer a wide variety of beers. spirits and ciders too, not just wine. So don’t be put off if you are not a wine drinker.
The Taste
I was sent the Discovery Case.. For those of you wanting to sample different varieties and discover your favourite wine, then this collection is perfect for you. A beautiful selection and Red, White and Rose wines to enjoy.
I love the fact they have cased together different varieties of wine from all over the world to suit everyones taste. Allowing you to sample and try new things to find a favourite wine.

St Louis de Provence – Rosé
Calories: 74 Per 125ml
Syns: Approx. 4 Per 125ml
Fresh, vibrant and pale pink in colour. Dry in style with aromatic rose petals on the nose, this wine follows through with notes of cranberry and strawberry fruits on the palate with a mouthwatering finish.
This was probably my least favourite wine but it was the lowest in calories..

Syns: Approx. 4.5 Per 125ml
Fresh, vibrant and crisp, with exotic herbaceous aromas, tropical and citrus fruit flavours. Best served with twice baked goat’s cheese souffle with walnut, apple and blue cheese salad.

Woolloomooloo – Pinot Grigio
Calories: 84 Per 125ml
Syns: Approx. 4 Per 125ml
Pale lemon in colour, Woolloomooloo Pinot Grigio displays a powerful bouquet of citrus blossom, lime and grapefruit aromas. On the palate, classic Pinot Grigio flavours of green apple, pear and tropical fruits helping to give balance to the wine’s crisp, crunchy acidity prior to a surprisingly long finish untypical of this grape variety.
My Dad was very happy when he saw I had been sent this wine as it’s a favourite of his. He happily helped me finish it off over a carbonara 🙂
