Wow. Run away now, before even reading this. Stay the hell away from Trader Joe’s Amour de Paris. It’s a peach sparkling wine. Peach. Sparkling. Wine. That should have been my first clue to not buy it. Instead, seeing it on the shelf for a weeks, I finally broke down and puchased a bottle after reading some positive reviews on the internet. I might as well have picked up a sixer of Bartles & Jaymes and called it a night.
Amour de Paris is a peach flavored sparkling wine. It smells like fake peach flavoring. It tastes like they took some crappy champagne and added fake peach flavoring. I’m pretty sure the peach flavor only made things worse, not better. Whomever thought this was a good idea should lose their job.
Now, you could argue that it’s only $5, and at that price I should have low expectations. I disagree. For that same amount, I could have gone to Chipotle and bought a burrito. And I would have much rather had the burrito.
This is not true.the champagne is wonderful in my opinion.everyone has different tastes and yours is not the only valid one.
this was disgusting. it tasted like butter nuts and butthole
Somebody From Isfahan Iran was very curious where did we buy . She liked that
OMG, I can’t believe these negative comments.
One of the bunco girls in my group has brought it a couple of times and I absolutely love it !! It does not taste like fake peach at all !!
This wine was, and is, amazing. You have terrible taste.
I love this wine, we first found it in Paris and were delighted to see it in USA. I do have a concern, however, it used to say 36 calories per glass (5 oz) but now there is no calorie information.
I think you have to like peach flavor and maybe it is a gender thing. The people who did not like it, I would like to know what peach flavored alcohol they do enjoy
I just found this website http://www.fatsecret.com/calories-nutrition/amour-de-paris/sparkling-cocktail-wine-with-peach-flavor-added
this source says 5 oz is 36 calories, I have emailed Trader Joe to get confirmation.
PS. 5 oz is one serving of wine!! pour it out, it is not much, but this is so delicious and if low calorie, we could do a whole cup! Trader Joe, please post here
My mother, my friend and I just downed a bottle of this, taking swigs straight from the bottle – it was that good. Great value for the price, to be honest.
I actually like this wine too. Yeah, it’s light and a tad sweet, but it sometimes hits the spot when I just want to mellow out. I also added some vodka to it once and it was a nice touch.
I love this wine, and am going into withdrawal since they haven’t had it lately at Trader Joe’s. At the suggestion of TJ’s wine guy I served “mimosas” made with Amour de Paris and TJ’s orange-peach-mango juice. Awesome.
I’m sure it’s made with cheap champagne. I’m fine with that. In my book, there are no decent American champagnes anyway, and I can’t afford good French bubbly. So why not doctor it a bit and enjoy the downscale stuff made palatable?
We have tried a number of peach sparkling wines. Since no one makes wine from peaches, it is obviously a white sparkling with peach flavor added. Duh! Many brands have a kind of ‘sterno’ taste at first and it takes a while to get used to. This brand was smooth and sweet right up front. Very nice indeed. If I want “real” champagne then it’s Vuve Cliquot but that’s about $40 per bottle on sale these days and for a $5 treat with a few cookies, this works very well.

Well it was served on Mother’s day with a splash of fresh squeezed orange juice and was DELICIOUS…it was delightful for my mother-in-law and she commented throughout brunch how wonderful the Paris-peaches were on her special day.
I think us kids said..mission accomplished!

Love, love, love this sparkling wine. I was googling around to find out the calorie content and stumbled upon this review, which I STRONGLY disagree with. On a hot day, ice cold, this can’t be beat!
