| elzora's Full Review: Arbor Mist Sangria Zinfandel |
We enjoy having a glass of wine on occasion, but I really enjoy wine coolers even more than I do a glass of wine. I have allergies and the histamines in most wines makes my fingers puff up sometimes!
When we were being invited over to a friends home for dinner, we stopped by our liquor store and picked up a bottle of Arbor Mist Sangria Zinfandel. I had purchased their peach wine months ago and really enjoyed it.
Description
This is not a true wine, the bottle says that it is a fine wine product. The bottle is the typical wine shape, with a lovely frosted glass. You can see the red color clearly through the bottle. It features a picture of cherries, limes, lemons and oranges.
When was the last time you read the nutritional information on a bottle of wine? Never for me, but that's why this is a wine product. The back of the bottle actually gives this type of information. A serving size is 8 ounces, there are three servings per bottle, and one serving contains 150 calories, zero fat, only 10mg of sodium, 18 grams of carbs, 16 grams of sugars, and less than one gram of protein.
Taste
The flavor of this wine is light, more like a wine mixed with ginger ale or tonic water. It would be appropriate with almost any meal such as meat, fish, pork, or even a simple casserole.
If you prefer corked wines, this might be too inexpensive for you, it has the twist off cap. The wine also has quite a sweet taste, and I generally prefer a drier wine, but this was still acceptable for a refreshing drink. It's fruity and refreshing with the hint of a white zinfandel.
Value
The price of the Arbor Mist Wine products is very low, and can be purchased for around $4.00, which I feel is very fair and affordable. Arbor Mist makes a wide selection of flavors, so there's something for every taste. The flavors are:
Blackberry Merlot
Cranberry Twist White Merlot
Exotic Fruits White Zinfandel
Island Fruits Pinot Grigio
Melon White Zinfandel
Mixed Berry Pinot Noir
Orchard Fruits Chardonnay
Peach Chardonnay
Sangria Zinfandel
Strawberry White Zinfandel
Tropical Fruits Chardonnay
Winter Berry Merlot
