Shloer Review - Christmas Sparkle



Don't you just love the picture above, my table is very similar minus the tree, no room in my kitchen, unless one of us sat in it, also minus the Brussel Sprouts, ewwwww. Its why my children love me as much as they do at Christmas, I don't have sprouts, they are banned. I gave them to them as babies as I did not want to pass my food hates on, I even had the offending green things on my plate. Like me and their Dad, Paige and Conor detested them.
The turkey is there centre stage, we do have a good Cava for drinks, occasionally Champagne if budget permits or Sainsbury's do a super deal. I drink Shloer over the festive period as an alternative to wine, just for the refreshing taste.
Its great to offer to guests who dont drink alcohol.
Shloer has also been on every Christmas table in our house.
We as a family plan our day and menu, make the lists together and Shloer is always near the top, Paige when very small would say "Can we have Shlurp please?"
It made us laugh then  and is still affectionately named as such.

I was sent a few bottles to try, old favourites and the newer additions.

We love both the White grape, its got a good taste, very distinctive, no other grape drink like it. Its light, perfectly sweetened and just so moreish!
The red is a deeper flavour, almost like red wine in that it has a  heavy full flavour.

The newer varieties are delicious the White Grape, Raspberry and Cranberry is a lovely mix, the raspberry making this a sweet taste, little children will love this one, perfect for the Christmas table.


My wow award has to go to the White Grape and Elderflower, what a perfect combination and I think a favourite now. I love elderflower drinks and combined with Shloer White grape its delightful sweet, fizzy and light. 

Before you read Shloer info below, let me tell you about their Facebook page, its fun entertaining, you have a real chance to interact with them and other fans. For me its good to know where I can buy it on offer, keep up to date with new flavours, I believe there is a Rosé now too. Also great to try and win something nice with all the little competitions they run.
