John Forrest: Low-alcohol wine is going to ‘kick ass’

The owner of New Zealand-based Forrest Wines explains why low-alcohol New World vintages are ‘kicking ass’.
John Forrest says “there’s a huge market for products [that let] you still enjoy the fat, sugar and alcohol, but with less negative health implications. We have dropped the alcohol content in our wines from 14 per cent to 9 per cent, which means 40 per cent less alcohol and 40 per cent fewer calories”.
