FitVine Wine
FitVine Wine labels provide all the nutritional details a health-conscious consumer might want, from sugar content to calorie and carb counts, so you’ll know what you’re getting in every glass. And because FitVine wines are vegan, gluten-free, free of flavor additives, and have less than 1 gram of sugar per serving, you can feel better about drinking them. Choose from reds, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Red Zinfandel, Rose, Pinot Noir, and Syrah, or try FitVine’s clean and crisp whites, which include a Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Prosecco. FitVine bottles are easy to spot, with vibrant colors and a distinctive design that features a silhouette of a sprinter holding a glass of wine in one hand and a bunch of grapes in the other.
Decoy Seltzer
As Decoy Seltzer’s name implies, Decoy’s new sparklers in luscious fruit flavors will lure you in—but wait, where are the calories? Not here.
