If you love great-tasting wine and you also enjoy a healthy lifestyle, you can now have both with the launch of three delicious lighter in alcohol wine ranges: Paradox, Allevio and The Hour Glass.
Lighter in alcohol wines have had double digit growth in the past year according to Quantium Data Analysis (November 2020) which signals consumer’s desire to moderate their alcohol consumption for health and lifestyle reasons.
“This is part of a broader trend which we anticipate continuing,” Endeavour Group, parent company of BWS and Dan Murphy’s, commercial wine merchandising manager Leigh Firkin says.
She adds that the improvements to wine-making techniques have helped enable this new wave lighter in alcohol wines which can still retain their fruit definition and authentic flavour.
“Whether you prefer a mouth-watering Chardonnay, a delicate Rosé or an uplifting Pinot Grigio and more, these captivating wines are delicate and light, yet full of character to give instant appeal and delicious drinkability at your next social gathering.”
Each range features a beautiful label design reflecting its unique character and making the perfect accompaniment to any dinner party or dining table setting.
