Sunny with a Chance of Flowers Sauvignon Blanc California Low Calorie White Wine

The grape is Sauvignon Blanc, which our grape research describes as a white variety known for clear aroma and refreshing acidity, usually made as a dry still wine, though its sweetness and oak use can vary. Its stated origin is California, and we do not have a shopper rating for this wine.

Across the stores we checked in September 2026, the price sat between $11.49 and $15.99, and Sunny with a Chance of Flowers says its wines come from an estate winery in Monterey County.

The producer's page for the 2024 vintage fills in what the calorie-forward name leaves unsaid: a 5-ounce glass runs 85 calories, zero grams of sugar, 3.3 grams of carbohydrates and 9 percent alcohol. Behind those numbers is a specific process, not simply an early harvest: the producer says the wine is fermented fully to dryness first, then a method it calls "Slow & Low" draws alcohol back out afterward. Winemaker Casey Di Cesare frames the tradeoff directly: "the only thing you're giving up is the calories and sugar." The producer's tasting notes list ripe guava, crushed pineapple and ruby grapefruit, and both the 2021 and 2022 vintages picked up 90-point scores from The Tasting Panel Magazine.

Our call: right for a shopper who wants the low-calorie, low-alcohol trade confirmed with real numbers rather than taken on faith; the producer states 85 calories and 9 percent alcohol per glass and explains the dealcoholization step behind them. Pass if a shopper rating carries weight in your decision; none has reached our record for this wine yet, so the producer's account stands on its own.
