Article on Lo-Carb Wines

The stuff is horrible. I brout this product (i hate to even call it wine) to the attention of this newsgroup a couple of months ago.

Thanks for the info. I was going to subject my friend who only drinks chardonnay to a little experiment with this, but I think I might not be willing to participate in the experiment myself ;)

I talked to Dick Peterson(a retired California winemaker of note and father of Hiedi Peterson Barret of Screaming Eagle/Chteau Montelena, etc) about low carb wines. His take was that they don't do anything any differently except take advantage of the FDA regs that allow for some of the components to be classified as something other than "Carbs" hence obtaining a lower carbohydrate level through slick manipulation of the empirical numbers. In short it's a marketing ploy to sell cheap wine that otherwise would languish on the shelves. Bi!!
