Now that we’re heading into “One Dose Summer,” the hope is that we will be able to hit barbeques, picnics in the park and even small pool parties.
If you’re a spritzer lover like me, you’re probably thinking: “How am I going to lug wine and soda to my next backyard bash?”
The answer: you may not have to… and you can still enjoy your favourite beverage!
I tried a relatively new addition to the “ready-to-drink” market, the Good Vines White Wine Spritz, and it is fair to say that I will be swapping out my homemade spritzers – ASAP.[/vc_column_text][nectar_video_player_self_hosted video_webm=”http://35.84.236.74/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/GoodVines-STYLECanada-Bach-Reel-Final.m4v” video_image=”12518″ el_aspect=”43″ align=”center” autoplay=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none”][vc_column_text]Some concerns I had going in:
- Why would I want to drink wine out of a can?
- Won’t it be super sugary?
- Can’t I just make this myself?
Besides it being one of the tastiest spritzers I’ve ever tasted (restaurant orders included), I was surprised to find out that each can of Good Vines contains only 120 calories and has, wait for it… zero sugar! It is smooth, refreshing and doesn’t have a canned wine taste whatsoever.
To answer my final question, yes: I absolutely could make this myself. But there is nothing worse than having to bring all of the ingredients and mix a drink every 20 to 45 minutes while out.
Name a more stressful activity than everyone waiting for you to start the next game of flip cup while you mix a drink… I’ll wait.
All in all, I am obsessed with the convenience of a ready-made can and will certainly have Good Vines stocked for the foreseeable future. Now all I need are some summer plans…
Grab some Good Vines at your local LCBO for only $2.95 a can and stay tuned throughout the summer for more Happy Hour features on STYLE Canada![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
