We've been asked by Blossom Hill to find 100 Mumsnetters to try the new lower alcohol Blossom Hill Vie White or Rosé and feedback their thoughts.

Here's what Blossom Hill say:
"Blossom Hill is the nation's favourite wine*, and we're proud to be known for making taste enjoyment easy. We've benefited from decades of wine maker's knowledge and alcohol innovation expertise to deliver a quality tasting reduced alcohol wine based drink; Blossom Hill Vie 5.5%vol. With its elegant, light and fruity taste it is the perfect choice for those occasions when you'd like a drink without the higher alcohol content - like lunch or early evening.
NEW lower alcohol Blossom Hill Vie is available in White - with hints of citrus, pear and apricot flavours and Rosé - with a floral aroma, ripe peach and strawberry flavours. Both are v. elegant, v. delicate and v. tasty choices - Vie 5.5%. If you prefer a sweeter style drinks, then Vie is perfect for you. We think it's v. tasty, but would love to hear what you think! For more information about Vie and to explore more of the Blossom Hill range visit: //www.blossomhill.com"

This product test is open to all UK Mumsnetters aged 18 and over. If you'd like to take part please sign up here
Those selected will be sent a bottle of Blossom Hill Vie White or Rosé (RRSP £4.99). Please indicate your preference when signing up, we'll do our best to meet this but can't guarantee it.

Thanks and good luck,

See you are all missing a trick here. You could accept the free bottle and next time it's someone's birthday; someone you don't particularly like, you could wrap it up and give it them as a present!

You know, Blossom Hill would be fools if they didn't pick me to receive all their free bottles.

Love Blossom Hill Wine but.......

I hate sweet wine so don't think this one is for me.

majjsu

seriously, may I ask, you think you would like a wine described as sweet, flower-smelling, with ripe peach and strawberry flavour?

what do you usually drink? Ribena?

Oh god is it sweet wine? Hum. I have half a bottle of Blossom Hill rose in my fridge from the summer as the other half gave me insta-hangover.

Serves me right for buying wine from the cash and carry.

Just signed up and am interested to know if lower alcohol = less calories. I'm doing WW at the moment and wine is my absolute downfall and all the snacks I consume when I've had a few glasses.

My glass is always half empty. So I need wine!

You know, it would also be good mixed in punch.

Or used in cooking.

I don't know why more people are signing up for this. I told you all already, Blossom Hill are giving me the rest of the bottles. You are all too late. Sorry. Now jog along.....

I could do this very well I think Grin. The low alcohol content surely just means you can drink more? looking for reasons to continue drinking as many glasses as possible
