Overall Rating: 4/5
Summary: super fresh, very [naturally] sweet (no sugariness), slightly tart, and grape flavour galore! It's also very fragrant and rich in colour. This is my equivalent to an evening's glass of wine :) It's delicious. I giving my full support to this juice...well save for the fact that it's a tad high in calories for the sparse nutritional profile. But it's good to keep in mind that grape juice has many health benefits (read more about these in the description below).
