Ayala, a French champagne house owned by Bollinger has launched
a sugar-free version of French champagne. The Cuvée Rosé Nature is a a pink champagne with no added sugar. While a normal flute of champagne runs 89 calories, the new rosé will be around 65 for a per bottle total of 390 calories rather than 534. The wine is missing the liquefied sugar, called the dosage, which is normally added to champagne before bottling to balance the flavor. The zero dosage rosé is is designed to appeal to wmen looking for a low-calorie, low-sugar option. The bottles will sell for around £45 each. The company also makes a no dosage version of their Brut Majeur champagne.

Who is going to be counting the calories when they are drinking a flute of champagne? Seems like a farce, unless you are drinking a magnum of champagne a day, of course.
I don't know if it will appeal to women looking for a low-calorie, low-sugar option, but it just might appeal to those with high blood sugar like mild diabetics.
