Thomson & Scott, Organic & Vegan sparkling wine-
We have all seen a big push over the last few years to embrace whats in our food and drink. There has been a real shift in the industry towards vegan, plant based and non alcoholic drinks. I love finding companies that innovate in this way. Thomson & Scott have developed Sparkling wine & Prosecco that is Vegan, lower in sugar and also an alcohol free version. Read their story below-
Amanda Thomson CEO & Founder-
Amanda Thomson is the CEO and Founder of Thomson & Scott and creator of an entirely new sector in the wine industry – sparkling wine that cuts unnecessary sugar, is organic and vegan certified and above all is transparent about what’s in the bottle – an idea the wine industry is only just beginning to wake up to.
Having been brought up on a vegetarian, no sugar diet by her health conscious single mother, she has always had a keen interest in healthy living. After a successful career as an Arts Broadcaster at the BBC, she moved to Paris and studied for her Diploma in Wine at the renowned Le Cordon Bleu School.
She created Skinny Champagne – a world first – and then launched another – Skinny Prosecco – that has become a by-word in the media for drinking better. Noughty is the first organic, vegan alcohol-free sparkling wine to drastically cut unnecessary sugar from the production process.
Can Champagne & Prosecco be low sugar?-
It’s easy to be side-tracked and focus on calories. If you want to cut calories dramatically, you need to cut down on alcohol because it’s loaded with them.
For me, sugar is the devil. I was surprised to find out that, while I was enjoying my chilled bubbles, I was also unknowingly ingesting high levels of sugar, pesticides, and animal by-products not listed on the label. Raised on a vegetarian, no sugar diet by a health-conscious mother, this was a shock to me.
I set up Thomson & Scott to enjoy delicious Champagne, Prosecco and sparkling wine that avoids adding unnecessary sugar to the production process. This portfolio is the result – delicious alcoholic Prosecco and alcohol-free sparkling Chardonnay that are both organic, vegan and transparent about their sugar content, which in both cases comes in at almost half that of traditional bottles in the same categories.
