Fans of bubbly around the world are celebrating Petite Prosecco, a new brand of the classic celebratory drink that caters to dieters looking to excise sugar from their diets. The Liverpool-based company is focusing on expanding their line of low-calorie and low-carbohydrate adult beverages to appeal to a growing segment of the market that is ditching high-calorie and sugar-laden alcoholic drinks.
A low-sugar alternative
Petite Prosecco's main selling point is that it contains even fewer calories and sugar than alternatives on the market. An average glass of prosecco has about 80 calories and can contain up to 15g of sugar per liter. This can make enjoying a night out difficult for those looking to lose weight by following a low-carb diet like the ketogenic diet difficult.
Petite Prosecco offers an alternative that retains all the flavor of everyone's favorite sparkling wine at a fraction of the sugar and calorie cost. Petite Prosecco contains just 59 calories per 100 ml glass, which is fewer than an apple. An entire liter of Petite Prosecco also contains just 8g of sugar, perfect for those who are looking to break an addiction to the sickly sweet additive. Petite Prosecco confirmed in an interview with UK news source the Liverpool Echo that their line of prosecco is created using an identical process as standard prosecco, but incorporates more natural sources of flavoring when compared to the processed sugar that is used to dilute competing proseccos on the market.
The company hopes to host multiple events throughout the Liverpool area to introduce consumers to their new product and to let them know that enjoying a glass of bubbly doesn't have to come along with a side order of guilt.
The cultural war on sugar
Petite Prosecco is entering the market at a time when demand for low-sugar beverages is quickly reaching an all-time high. As governments across the world begin to realize the full range of health issues that can be caused and made worse by excess sugar consumption, a crackdown on overly sweet snacks and drinks is causing stress within the alcoholic market as well. In addition, as consumers become more and more educated about the importance of watching what they eat, Petite Prosecco hopes to capitalize on a growing global trend towards more conscious diet choices.
Luke Mills, CEO of Petite Prosecco said: “We are so excited to be launching this new prosecco, especially in this day and age where people care a lot more about what they are consuming into their body.”
Drinking on a low-carb diet
Petite Prosecco is an especially great product for anyone follow a low-carb or ketogenic diet. While most types of wines are safe to drink while watching your carb count, many brands of sweetened and dessert wines include sneakily added sugar to improve the taste of an overly bitter batch of wine. Petite Prosecco hopes to provide consumers with a known safe choice so they can enjoy weekends and special occasions without fear of throwing themselves out of ketosis.
