The Wonderful Wine Co, by Winc, is revolutionizing the way wine is created and enjoyed by focusing on clean wine that is not only better for our bodies, but better for our environment as well.
“Clean” wine is a relatively new term that basically means wine made from sustainably grown organic grapes free from added chemicals and sugar. Thus creating a wine that not only tastes great, but is also low-carb, keto-friendly, and paleo-friendly. SHOP NOW >>
The price of a bottle of wine from the Wonderful Wine Co. is between $19.99-$22.99 depending on if you are a Winc member. SHOP NOW >>
The clean winemaking process begins with the grapes. By using organic grapes, without the use of artificial chemical fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, or herbicides, Wonderful Wine can make delicious tasting wine without hurting the environment or adding chemical additives or sugar used by others to enhance the flavor.

Wonderful Wine goes above and beyond when it comes to looking out for the environment. From using compact shipping boxes, made from 70% recycled material, and are 100% recyclable and 95% compostable, to their lightweight glass bottles that require 20% less energy and 12% percent less water to produce, they truly care about reducing carbon emissions and helping out Mother Earth.
Please note – the Wonderful Wine Co. website is closed and you can buy Wonderful Wine Co. wines at Winc.
For our Wonderful Wine Co reviews, we ordered the “Starter Pack” with one of each, The Red, The White, and The Rose. The Starter Pack costs $60 or $20 per bottle.
When ordering from Wonderful Wine you have 4 options to choose from including The Starter Pack, The Summer Party Six-Pack, The Red Pack, and The White Pack.
We started our Wonderful Wine Co Reviews off with The Red, which is different from The Red that is currently on the site and described as a full-bodied Spanish Syrah with notes of blueberry with a hit of pepper.
Our red was a 2019 Argentinian Malbec that was a medium-bodied red with fewer notes of pepper/spice. We decided to pair this wine with a dinner of grilled steaks, baked potatoes, and asparagus and ate outside on a warm summer night.
I am no sommelier, but enjoyed this wine and thought that it was light, dry, and flavorful. The next morning, I especially appreciated that this wine was low in sugar as that is what usually gives me a headache the morning after. SHOP NOW >>
Later in the week, we enjoyed The White with family, again outside on a warm summer night. Wonderful Wine Co says that The White, a wine from France, has notes of green apple and lemon curd.
I don’t love white wine as it tends to be sweeter than I care for so I decided to mix things up and make a “Wonderful White Wine Sangria” using seasonal fresh fruit that would highlight the fruity flavor profile.
This sangria was not only easy to make, but tasted wonderful! You’ll notice in the recipe that I didn’t add any sugar and instead opted for the wine and fruit to shine through and sweeten the drink. It was the perfect sweetness for my family. Bonus, you get to eat all of the yummy wine-soaked fruit for dessert!
Keeping with our “grilling and drinking outside on a warm summer night” theme, we had some friends over and made lovely grilled swordfish steaks to pair with our final Wonderful Wine, The Rose.
Wonderful Wine describes The Rose as “clean and fresh with bright acidity and notes of strawberry, raspberry, and rose petal”. I agree that this wine was clean and fresh with hints of berry, but did not get the rose petal. Like the others, this wine wasn’t too sweet, and when served very cold with a couple of ice cubes and good friends it was perfect. SHOP NOW >>
You can see the breakdown of calories, sugar, carbs, and alcohol per glass for each of the wines in The Starter Pack below.
During this Wonderful Wine review, the only wine that they offer that we didn’t get to try is The Orange. This wine comes from California and is a rare Malvasia Bianca (a white wine made in the style of red). According to Wonderful Wine, it is “bursting with a mouthful of citrus, white peach, and honeysuckle.” SHOP NOW >>
Wonderful Wine Co brings clean, low-carb, low-sugar wine free of artificial chemical fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, or herbicides directly to your door. By using organic grapes, sustainable farming practices, and thoughtful environmentally-friendly packaging Wonderful Wine is better for you and the environment.
We enjoyed the three bottles of Wonderful Wine, all light and refreshing on a warm summer night, but would love to have more options and the ability to purchase by the bottle.
If you are looking for a delicious low-carb, keto-friendly wine Wonderful Wine should be top on your list. And The Starter Pack would make a great gift for those on any diet who like to enjoy a nice glass of wine every now and again and appreciate the fact that this wine is better for you inside and out.
