HEALTHIER ALCOHOL ALTERNATIVES

Steve recently discovered BEVMO (stands for Beverages & More) in Bellingham, Washington.

They have a section for dealcoholized beer, wine, bourbon, gin, tequila, whisky.

There is a difference between dealcoholized and non-alcoholic beverages.

Dealcoholization removes the alcohol but leaves the polyphenols (aka phytonutrients) so the flavor and aroma of the beer or wine remains intact.

Non-alcoholic means the beverage has gone through limited fermentation to control the production of alcohol. 

A 750 ml bottle of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is 100 calories for the entire content, and it tastes great. 

I haven't tested the beer or whisky yet, so no comment there.

Here is an alcohol calorie counter to plan your holiday cheer.
