I was at WalMart today, buying some Arizona Diet Green Tea (Splenda sweetened!) and something caught my eye: Bartles and Jaymes is now making lowcarb Wine Coolers. I saw some funky new flavors like Blue Hawaiian!

I'm not much of a drinker (I have some tequila leftover from my beach vacation over 2 years ago!) but I do like to have a drink once in a while, usually a social event.

Still trying to find out what it is sweetened with. At 3 carbs per bottle, I could have a couple, like at a BBQ with friends, and still stay on plan. (Provided the BBQ sauce is CarbOptions!)

Found a single entry on the 'Net about it....not much info there. The B&J site doesn't even have any info on it there, either! Seems these have been on the market since the Summer. Just goes to show you how much I scope out the wine coolers!

Has anyone seen/tasted one of these? Have any info? I'm looking forward to Summer even more now! LOL!

Thanks for the information. I'm more excited to find out walmart carries the green tea. I'm not a huge wine cooler fan but sometimes will add seltzer to white wine with a twist. enjoyable in summer!

Sometimes I am good for something! If those "wine coolers" are any good, I will feel like lowcarb has officially "arrived" for me. Last time I was out with friends, I had a couple of beers (eeeeww!) because there was nothing else to drink that was l/c. Now, if that l/c donut ever gets perfected.......

The Arizona Diet Green Tea w/Honey and Ginseng was back there with the Gatorade and flavored waters (and wine coolers, LOL!). It was $2.88/gal. here. I saw it at Walgreen's and it was alot more expensive there.
