Review: WineTime Bar by ResVez

May 7th, 2010

This is an amazing combination of ingredients that features taste and the benefits of red wine extract and resveratrol. This is not your average bar…it contains tons of chocolate and fruit powders. It’s sweetened with both sugar and brown rice syrup, which are excellent and well-thought-out choices. I prefer both sugar and brown rice syrup to ALL of the alternatives, including agave nectar AND honey, for both health and taste (except for diabetics, obviously). Everything in this bar is well chosen and well made, down to the crisps that are made from tapioca (from the manioc root), soy, and cocoa. This is an excellent way to get your anti-aging supplements while snacking. The price is slightly higher than other bars, but for what you’re getting in this bar, the price could easily have been even higher.
