The 11 Best Low-Sugar Wines That Still Taste Delicious

At first glance, Bev almost seems too good to be true: conveniently canned bubbly with zero sugar and three grams of carbs? Where’s the catch? Remarkably, there are no caveats with this female-founded line—each can comes with a hefty pour (about a glass and a half) and every varietal is equally crush-worthy.

Bev’s lineup of sparkling wines includes a pinot noir, sauvignon blanc, pinot grigio, and rosé, but my personal favorite is Glitz, which is on par with an extra-brut champagne taste-wise. While it was introduced as a limited-edition seasonal offering during the holidays, Bev kept it in their year-round rotation due to popular demand and it’s easy to see why. With plenty of fizz and notes of elderflower and pear, it’s the perfect pick for celebratory occasions and Girls’ Night In alike.

Boxed wine gets a bad rap, but don’t let that stop you from drinking it all together, especially when it comes to anything made by Gratsi. All of the brand’s wines are packaged in sustainable boxes, and the best part is every blend is made with zero sugar. While Gratsi’s lineup includes red and white blends, the winemaker’s Rosé is a consistent fan favorite. It’s crisp and dry, with delicious notes of fresh pear, strawberry, and honeysuckle, making it perfect for enjoying on hot summer days and evenings alike.

Tinto Amorio has an extensive number of wines under its belt, with an emphasis on crafting the finest quality bottles possible in a sustainable manner. Its Natural Wine Gift Sampler offers three bottles of dry yet crisp, high quality options; sip on Jajaja Glou Glou Red Wine, Bheeyo Skin Contact Orange Wine and Monje Orange Wine alongside your favorite foods.

California-based Cupcake Vineyards is well-known for producing award-winning wines from established regions at surprisingly reasonable prices. In 2020, the company introduced Cupcake Lighthearted, a collection of low-calorie, low-carb wines with less than one gram of sugar per five-ounce serving. The collection has a little something for everyone, including chardonnay, pinot noir, pinot grigio, sauvignon blanc and rosé.

For me, the Pinot Grigio was love at first sip. With zesty lemon notes and a clean finish, it’s a food-friendly wine you can enjoy anytime. Better yet, thanks to the modest alcohol volume of 8 percent, you won’t wake up with a headache after downing a couple of glasses.

Many low-carb and low-sugar wines tend to be lower in alcohol, which means they’re typically not as rich in flavor. But FitVine adheres to an extended fermentation process that allows them to naturally lower the sugar content (to under one gram) without sacrificing the alcohol content or the taste. Not only that, but their process extracts more tannins, meaning you’re less likely to get a headache after drinking these wines.

FitVine’s extensive lineup features 13 different vegan varietals—even less common ones, like chenin blanc and albariño—so there’s a little something for everyone. The Cab Sauv is easily one of the company’s most popular wines, which is no surprise given the full body, bold yet balanced flavor profile, smooth finish and eye-opening ABV of 14.1 percent.

The Simple Grape has wines that are as healthy as they can get–they’re zero-sugar, low-carb, gluten-free, and vegan. All of The Simple Grape’s wines are also sustainably made with zero pesticides, and don’t have any artificial ingredients. Fan favorites include the light and crisp Pinot Grigio 2022 and the Chardonnay 2021, a citrusy blend with notes of vanilla and baking spice. With lip-smacking acidity and flavors of lush tropical fruits, they’re the perfect food-friendly wines to wash down oysters, shrimp cocktail and other apps.

Kristin Cavallari is just one celeb who’s been singing the praises of Dry Farms Wines on social media—in fact, she calls it her “no-hangover wine” and if that’s not a hard sell, I don’t know what is. This 100 percent organic, natural wine subscription service has been endorsed by many of the top ketogenic experts, partly because every single bottle is carb-free and lab-tested to ensure it contains less than one gram of sugar per liter.

There are both monthly and bi-monthly memberships, and you can choose how many bottles you’d like to receive per shipment of red, white, rosé, sparkling, or a mix. Or, just buy a one-time box if you please. IMO, the biggest perk is that you’ll likely never receive the same bottle twice, which allows you to expand your palate and continually discover new favorites.

Nomadica’s wines are zero-sugar, low-carb, low-calorie and made from grapes that are farmed responsibly. And, I might add, they come in highly Instagrammable bottles. The Rosé deserves a shoutout, though, and not just because it only has zero grams of sugar—it’s not too sweet, not too tart, and packs a flavorful punch.

With notes of rose petal, violets, strawberry, and fresh sage, this Rosé is refreshing enough for a warm summer night, but has enough body and acidity to stand up to a wide variety of foods.
Nomadica’s lineup also includes a citrusy white blend and unique orange mix, both of which can be purchased in a 4-can pack or boxed variety. Or, if you’re feeling indecisive, you can build your own box to sample several.

The first thing you’ll probably notice about Usual Wines is that they don’t come in the usual 750-ml bottles—the sleek single-serve glass beakers boast convenient twist-off caps, and a generous pour (about 6.3 ounces). That’s not all that sets these wines apart, though: they’re also made in small, sustainably farmed batches with no pesticides and absolutely nothing added to preserve or alter the taste. Did I mention they have zero sugar?

Usual Wines offers a red, rosé, brut, or mixed pack and you can either purchase a one-time box of six, 12, or 24 bottles or sign up for monthly shipments of the wines for a 25 percent discount (with a two-month minimum). The Semi-Sparkling Rosé, a blend of grenache, Vermentino, cinsault, and viognier grapes, is like spring in a bottle, bursting with flavors of strawberry and rhubarb. Usual Wines suggests enjoying it chilled, while barefoot—and I couldn’t agree more.

Even a “dry” prosecco can pack 17-32 grams of sugar per liter, which is almost a teaspoon per glass. But Bellissima, which happens to be legendary supermodel Christie Brinkley’s wine brand, developed a state-of-the-art technique to eliminate all the sugar from their sparkling wine without compromising the taste.

This sparkling wine, which is made from 100 percent glera grapes from the Treviso-Veneto region of Italy, is vegan, organic, carb-free and only 92 calories per serving—yet it’s velvety smooth and perfectly balanced. It’s also frothier and lighter than your typical champagne, thanks to lower pressure used during the carbonation process. Sip it straight or use it as a base for mimosas at brunch.

All of the wines produced by Avaline, which was co-founded by Cameron Diaz and entrepreneur Katherine Power, are made from 100 percent organically-farmed grapes, and free from synthetic herbicides, pesticides, GMOs and additives. Better yet, they’re all fermented dry, which means they’re sugar-free.

Avaline’s lineup includes a white and red blend, as well as a sparkling—but it’s the Rosé that won me over. It’s a blend of five different French varietals (grenache, cinsault, caladoc, syrah, and cabernet grapes), and interestingly, Avaline uses pea protein as a vegan, non-allergenic solution to clarify and stabilize it. Soft, mellow and more floral than fruity, this one pairs nicely with a charcuterie spread for a sun-drenched picnic.

Blending traditional and innovative modern techniques in their wine fermentation process, Pure The Winery has found a way to convert all the natural sugars in their wines into alcohol. Every single varietal in their collection is sugar- and carb-free, but you wouldn’t know it since they use grapes sourced from Calamandra, Piamonte, one of Italy’s most prestigious wine-growing regions.
Choose from white, sparkling, rosé and a red—the last of which is a surefire crowd-pleaser. This fruit-forward blend of barbera and merlot has just 81 calories a glass, which is 35 percent less than your standard red wine.
