Tip 116 - Find the right fizz
01 December 2009
According to my dear friend Johnny Ray, wine correspondent at The Daily Telegraph, some Champagnes are more figure-friendly than others. So it pays to drink wisely… “Regular so-called Brut champagnes can have up to 15 grams of sugar per litre,” he writes, “whereas the bone-dry Brut Nature ones have up to 3 grams. Champagnes made without the addition of any sweetening dosage include Ayala Brut Nature, Jacquart Extra Brut, Pol Roger Pure Brut Nature, Tarlant Brut Zéro and Laurent Perrier Ultra Brut. They are ideal for the calorie conscious, with no more than 65 calories per 125ml glass, compared to 90-plus for regular champagne.”
Have your say
