Introducing Naked Grape Red Wine Spritzers!
Naked Grape is a popular unoaked Ontario wine and has just introduced spritzers to their line-up of all star wines. I was lucky to sample some before it hit shelves on Friday (at your nearest Wine Rack) and was VERY impressed. It is BEST served over ice-or frozen cranberries!
Now let's have a wee discussion, while we're talking about alcohol. I love it. But not all alcohol is vegan or vegetarian friendly- many beers and wines are filtered through animal bone, or literally have fish guts, fish eggs or chicken pieces added to the wine or beer for flavor. Companies can add these ingredients to their alcohol without having to publish *contains flesh* on the label of the bottle. Why? I don't know, but it's legal and is so the case. There are lots of great vegan wine/beer directories on the Internet, and I shall provide some links before we part.
Now I don't drink beer, do not like it. Too much yeast, carbs..all for a bad buzz-but most German beers are vegan safe. STAY AWAY FROM BRITISH BEER unless you want some chicken nibblets up in your hangover.
Anyway, moving back to the wine. It's good, go drink some-rich in antioxidants and turns you into a really hot Tori Amos singing Lush.
CHEERS!
