New Products at Dry Farm Wines

Their latest product was Bolixir. This botanically infused wine was low in alcohol and still maintained all Dry Farm Wines standards. It was delicious and I really loved it! Unfortunately it has been discontinued, but I have it on good authority that another lower alcohol elixir is on the way. I’ll be sure to update you as soon as it’s available!

They also have Extra Virgin Olive Oil that’s tested to their usual high purity standards as well as extra high polyphenol levels for more antioxidant power. This olive oil is lab tested to be 100 percent extra virgin with absolutely no filler oils, no preservatives and no chemicals.

Dry Farm Wines Review, Online Tasting and Education Event

On April 18, 2022 I had a fun chat with Maria from Dry Farm Wines. We did a live on Instagram where we talked all about their company, why natural, sugar-free wines are healthier and about their happiness guarantee.

Even though I’ve been a customer since 2018, I always learn something new! We tried a lovely Cremant d’Alsace that was amazing and gave away six bottles of wine to one luck attendee! If you want to make sure you know about our next event together, make sure you sign up for my newsletter.

Dry Farm Wines App

One new thing I learned is that they have an app! I can’t believe I didn’t know about this. You can use it to scan the label of your wine to the alcohol, sugar and sulfites report, get tasting notes as well as add your own, learn about the wine grower as well as region and order more of the wine if you’d like.

You’re also able to login to your account and contact customer service, all right in the app. You can see a screenshot here to the right, this is definitely my new favorite thing about them. Listen to my discussion with Maria below, I’m sure you’ll learn something you didn’t know about Dry Farm Wines.

Dry Farm Wines Review: Ketosis

Depending on how many carbs you personally can have and remain in ketosis, you could fit in a few glasses of many wines or one glass of others depending on which you chose. However, there are still calories to consider. And, when you consume alcohol, your liver switches away from fat burning. It instead begins the process of metabolizing alcohol instead. Byproducts of alcohol metabolization can be used for energy. Your body will use those for fuel first, slowing down fat metabolism.

Some Dry Farm Wines reviews fail to mention how much healthier these wines are due to the lack of sugar. To me that’s one of the biggest selling points!

First let’s assume that you’ve already decided alcohol in moderation is something that works for your health goals. There are a lot of studies, opinions and conversation about whether drinking alcohol is optimal for health. The bottom line is it’s a personal choice. Reasons you may or may not choose to imbibe and how it impacts health is a bigger discussion for another time.

Your weight loss goals and other health factors should guide how often you choose to drink alcohol. Always keep in mind that the fat burning process will slow whenever alcohol is consumed.

Why Dry Farm Wines Are Better than Conventional Wine for Keto and Is There Such Thing as Sugar-Free Wine?

One of the best things about Dry Farm Wines, is that they independently test each wine they sell to be virtually sugar-free. Most wine is lower sugar with two to six carbs per five ounces serving. However, Dry Farm Wines are tested to be under one gram of sugar per liter!

That means an entire bottle has less than one gram of sugar. You can enjoy a couple of glasses entirely guilt and sugar-free. It’s by far the best low sugar wine I’ve had. Most Dry Farm Wines reviews aren’t as focused on this aspect of the wine. However, if you’re living the keto or low carb lifestyle, drinking the lowest sugar wine possible is a huge plus.

Dry Farm Wines Reviews: Other Things Dry Farm Wines Tests Besides Sugar and Why Healthy Wine is Important

We know that Dry Farm Wines tests for sugar. Obviously, this is awesome for a keto or low carb lifestyle. But that’s only consideration for a healthier wine. So what other tests does Dry Farm Wines perform?

Turns out, quite a few! Every wine they sell is also less than 75ppm of sulfites, 12.5 percent or less alcohol, “low alcohol”, fungus and mold-free, no additives, dry-farmed, old vine, hand-harvested, wild native yeast, small production, gluten-free and naturally or biodynamically farmed. Pretty amazing considering how many of these tests most US wines would violate.

Why each of these tests is important would take up quite a bit of space to explain. However, it’s obvious to most that the more natural a product is, the better it is for you.

Sugar Free Wine

Dry Farm Wines are so low in carbs because they are fully fermented. The lack of sugar is an important part of this Dry Farm Wines review. The yeast eat all of the sugar then they die off leaving alcohol. Carbs are introduced by some winemakers by adding additional sugar back in after fermentation to appeal to the American palate. Some kill the yeast early allowing sugar to remain. Dry Farm Wines makers do neither of these things.

The less sugar in any product you choose, such as Dry Farm Wine, the better it is for the keto diet and your health in general.

Wine and Irrigation

One of the most interesting things learned in this process was about dry farming. Think about this. For all the hundreds of years wines were produced in Europe, there was no irrigation!  And this is better for the grapes.

Irrigation is actually FORBIDDEN in Europe. It’s better for the environment not to water, but what else? Grapes that are irrigated have more sugar because it’s easy for them to soak up water and produce more sugar as a result. More sugar means more alcohol and diluted flavor. Not a good thing for wine.

Vines that aren’t irrigated have to grow deep roots to search for water and the flavor is affected in a good way. Flavor is more concentrated.

Napa winemakers irrigate despite receiving more natural rainfall, even in drought than some of the best winemaking regions in the world such as Bordeaux and Tuscany (based on US 30 year averages from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and European 30 year averages from the World Meteorological Organization).

Best Wine for No Hangover: Do Dry Farm Wines Prevent Hangovers?

Low sugar wines tend to be naturally lower in alcohol as well. Some Dry Farm Wines reviews forget focus on the slightly lower alcohol. That’s one of the things I really love about it. Lower sugar plus lower alcohol means no hangovers! You’re also much less likely to get headache symptoms of a hangover when the wine is tested to be free of other additives and toxins.

Of course, if you overindulge in any alcohol you might still get a hangover. However, in my experience if my husband and I split a bottle of Dry Farm Wines over dinner, I feel great both that night and the next morning. I can’t say that about other wines, they’re definitely a lot more variable.

What Ingredients Are in Wine and How do They Affect the Keto Diet and Ketosis?

As someone who loves to cook and eat, wine is a big part of enjoying food. There is nothing better than enjoying a nice glass of red wine as you prepare a gourmet red sauce and then sitting down experience how the flavor of your wine enhances the meal! And as someone involved in the lifelong pursuit of Ultimate Wellness I’ve always been concerned about what I put in my body. However, being able to have wine on keto is important to me due because of the flavor enhancement it provides.

This is one of the reasons I really wanted to write a review for using Dry Farm Wines on the keto diet. It gave me a chance to explore what’s in low sugar wine. And why it may or may not be compatible with keto. Wine on keto is made into a much healthier and viable option with Dry Farm Wines.

Is Alcohol Good for You?

Of course, since alcohol is technically a poison, one could argue you shouldn’t have it at all. However, the same goes for so many things we consume that aren’t so good for us like donuts, cookies, etc. Moderation is key and thankfully a healthy liver is designed to process toxins. If you have wine on keto, fat burning will temporarily stop while your body processes the alcohol.

What’s Really in Your Wine?

The point of this discussion though, is we know that ethanol (a certain type of toxin) is in wine, but what else is in there? It must be regulated, and labeled like the rest of our food, right? Wrong.

In 1976 the court case Brown-Forman Distillers Corp. v. Matthews, the decision was the FDA did not have the jurisdiction to require labeling of alcohol since it’s not technically a food. Over the years, the alcohol industry has consistently objected to being required to put ingredients on the label.

According to Todd White, founder of Dry Farm Wines, there are 76 additives allowed in wines in the US, including some pretty nasty chemicals. He shared 52 percent of all the wines manufactured in the United States are made by three giant conglomerates. It would be hard to mass produce wines without at least some more modern techniques, including additives. Even so, that doesn’t mean they’re good for you.

Lifestyle Factors with Healthy Wine

Todd shares with us his journey from Atkins to the sustainable and moderate keto lifestyle he is currently living. He also shares his vast knowledge on the different versions of keto. He also discusses his go to biohacking tools, such as cold plunges and saunas. Many Dry Farm Wine reviews fail to mention the founder, which is really too bad. He has such an interesting story and background that led him to create this company.

Mediation and fasting are two big players in his life and have been for over twenty years. Todd is proof positive that you can enjoy sugar free, natural wine with your keto lifestyle. Check out the video interview with Todd White below or listen on your favorite podcast player.

N=1 Experiment, Effect of Drinking Dry Farm Wines on Ketosis

And now for the fun part! I drank wine (taking one for team keto here) and tested blood sugar and ketones with the Keto-Mojo. I wanted to see what happened after drinking Dry Farm Wines. The results may surprise you. The good news is you can drink wine on keto, especially if you choose Dry Farms.

Nothing but water was consumed in the four hours prior to testing. For this review of how Dry Farm Wines affects ketosis, it was important that baseline measurements would be unaffected by prior consumption.

Right before drinking the wine, ketones and glucose were tested. Ketones measured at 2.8 and blood sugar was 79 according to the Keto Mojo. Two servings (10 ounces) of wine were measured with a scale for accuracy then consumed within 30 minutes. A wine was chosen that sounded interesting from the latest Dry Farm Wines shipment…a lovely white Gamay blanc de noirs from Domaine Franck Besson in Jullie, France. It was delicious.

The Results after Drinking Keto Wine

An additional 30 minutes passed before testing blood levels again to give the wine time to take effect. An hour after starting to drink the wine and 30 minutes after it ended, ketones were at 3.3 and glucose was at 73.

Certainly some of this difference can be accounted for by the accuracy of the monitor. Clearly, neither ketones nor glucose were negatively affected by Dry Farms Wine. In fact, ketones went up and glucose went down. Crazy!

Dry Farm Wines Review: Should You Buy Dry Farm Wines?

Of course, this is a personal decision based on your budget and goals. Unlike some other wine clubs, they allow you to easily change the delivery frequency online. You can take up to six months in between shipments. It’s also fun that they do special collections for holidays and seasons. Past specials include Rosé for summer, sparkling for New Year’s and reds for Valentine’s Day. It’s interesting to try new wines that typically have a very small or no US distribution.

For healthy wine tested for all of these things, I personally feel it’s worth it. I had a lot of fun testing out their wine for this Dry Farm Wines review for my keto lovers! I know these wines are infinitely better for me based on the lower sugar, alcohol and additive/chemical content. They’re also healthier due to the other things for which they test, like sulfites.
