People have been making wine taste like water for quite a few years now, so why not a sparkling water that tastes like wine?

That’s what Waterloo Sparkling Water asked themselves, and the result is a delicate, unusual sparkling water. The taste is difficult to describe. It doesn’t taste like wine, but it has “notes” like wine. The top note was berry, predominantly strawberry, leading to a middle note of cherry, and finally a bottom note of roses. It was dry – sounds strange, a dry water, but dry just means not very sweet. And it had the merest whiff of citrus which gave it a slightly fermented taste.

Plus a lot of bubbles.

All Day Rosé – served well chilled – would likely be well liked by ladies who like light, delicate, floral wines. If you like bolder flavors, it’s interesting to try but won’t be your favorite flavor.

My one complaint is that All Day Rosé is absolutely clear – ok in the can, but looks a bit blah if you pour it into a glass. I added just a drop of grenadine (pomegranate syrup) to mine and achieved a very pretty pink color – as well as improving the taste a wee bit!

Best part – zero calories! You’re saving yourself 95-125 calories by drinking this instead of a standard size glass of rose.

What Is A Standard Size Glass, Anyway?

Look carefully at the picture. Which would you choose? Which is the glass of wine most commonly served in restaurants and bars? Which is the glass of wine you’re more likely to pour yourself at home? The small glass looks kind of dinky, doesn’t it?

Surprise! The small glass – 5 ounces – is what is considered a standard size drink. If your pours are more like the glass on the left, you’re getting twice the calories and twice the alcohol!

All Day Rosé is one of Waterloo’s seasonal products. We’re heading into fall so we will soon be treated to Autumn seasonal flavors, but right now I am seeing plenty of All Day Rosé in the stores.
