La Vie En Rose

There is no wine in this at all, de-alcoholised or otherwise. Altina builds La Vie En Rose from filtered water and botanical extracts, which is a different project from stripping a finished rosé, and it means the drink is designed forward instead of reverse engineered. Rose petal and hibiscus set the tone, apple carries the sweetness, and ginger with a whisper of cayenne gives it a warm finish that stops it tasting like cordial. It comes in a 250ml can at 50 calories with 5g of sugar, none of it added, no artificial sweeteners, vegan and gluten free. Worth noting the capsaicin allergen if that matters to you. Pour it over ice into a wine glass and treat it like a dry rosé, with brie, smoked salmon, ham or asparagus, or push it toward dessert with chocolate and raspberries.
