Hully - I fear this thread is doing nothing for your blood pressure Grin

I will stand shoulder to shoulder with you on this one. I can't think of anything worse than low alcohol, sweet, floral wine. Sounds like Febreze in a bottle.

Fillybuster · 24/01/2013 15:38

I don't believe that anything low alcohol, floral and slightly sweet could possibly be drinkable, but I'm on diet and willing to give it a go --sacrifices self on altar of MN product tests==

(Also quite up for providing some honest feedback if it turns out to be pigswill not as lovely as claimed)

gazzalw · 24/01/2013 15:57

Wink Fillybuster! Yes, after a month off the booze I will expect a refreshingly chilled glass of vino (that's if I get chosen which is unlikely on this year's form so far!)

LiveItUp · 24/01/2013 16:59

Late to the party as I so often seem to be (damn work getting in the way of surfing the net) ..... application done!

I take it you don't like this stuff then Hully?

Fillybuster · 24/01/2013 17:36

Hi gazzaw ....I'm not holding my breath either....2012 was a good year though, eh? Grin

gazzalw · 24/01/2013 17:37

Indeed Grin!

MumVsKids · 24/01/2013 19:28

Test wine???

I'm in Wink

polly164 · 24/01/2013 20:09

Would love to try this!

LizzyA123 · 24/01/2013 20:23

Would love to try this, I have kids Grin

tanfastic · 24/01/2013 20:51

Yep count me in! Grin

JacqueslePeacock · 24/01/2013 20:55

Febreze in a bottle...for the laydeez. That's what it is. Wow.

justamoment · 24/01/2013 20:59

Yes please, I'll give it a go...

bemybebe · 25/01/2013 00:53

I really think they should change the name. Vie sounds vile as someone pointed out. I misread it as Vile before thinking there was a typo and only then understood it is actually meant to be 'vie'.

Heathie84 · 25/01/2013 01:35

Very intrigued by low alcohol wines....as a new Mum I have just stopped breast feeding and worried about how I am going to handle alcohol when I start socialising again!! One drink and it might be hometime for me!!! Blush This could be a happy medium so up for giving it a try...sounds good Wine

leggie1995 · 25/01/2013 01:38

Grr... Would loved to of tried this as I love white blossom hill :) would of like to of tried this one as never had a low alcohol one. Only another 4 months till I'm 18. Will have to send my partner out and see if there is any in our local supermarket Grin

DizzyLyn · 25/01/2013 05:51

Would love to have a try - could be a great summer wine or mid-weeker /emo/te/1.gif

Tusty · 25/01/2013 10:33

Ooh, would love to try that.

Norsk1 · 25/01/2013 11:24

Yes please...

IzzieA · 25/01/2013 11:38

I really need to try this. Full-strength wine is giving me a real hangover, even after a couple of glasses! Must be my age!

jackies4 · 25/01/2013 11:40

definately interested in trying low alcohol wine. The beer version is awful so I hope the wine is better. Send m some & I'll let you know Hmm

JS06 · 25/01/2013 11:45

Happy to volunteer, love the thought of low alcohol drinks so long as they taste the same. Blossom Hill is a well known brand and this new direction may well just tap into a whole new market.

Cubaba · 25/01/2013 11:48

Yep...signed up. Chilling my wine glass in anticipation of good news...

michelleblane · 25/01/2013 12:03

Happy to take part. How do I sign up?

wehavearaspberry · 25/01/2013 12:15

And the downside to this is what exactly???? Surely there's a catch to being offered the chance to drink wine!

MrsShrek3 · 25/01/2013 14:57

bemybebe doesn't "vie" mean life? Im also disliking it with the implications of "get a life"Grin Grin
