Snoop Dogg 19 Crimes Cali Red review: Which food pairs well with it?
Pair this Cali Red Wine with bold flavors like rich meaty dishes.
We recommend pasta with veal ragu and grilled vegetables to name some.

If you are into cheese, your safest bets are always Cheddar, Gorgonzola, and the likes.
Snoop Dogg 19 Crimes Cali Red review: What's its alcohol content?
Snoop Dogg 19 Crimes Cali Red wine’s alcohol content is 13.5%.
In case you wonder about alcohol content or more precisely Alcohol By Volume, i.e. ABV, measure the alcoholic strength of a drink.
There is a direct relationship between the sugar left in the wine after the alcoholic fermentation has taken place, i.e. Residual Sugar or RS, and ABV.
During alcoholic fermentation, the yeast transforms the sugar in the grape juice into alcohol.
Grapes with high residual sugar will therefore produce dry wine with a high ABV.
How many calories are in a glass of Snoop Dogg 19 Crimes Cali Red wine?
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture a 5-ounce glass will contain about 120 to 130 calories.
Alcohol contains 7 calories per gram. So a wine with high ABV will have a higher calories per glass than a wine with low ABV.
Furthermore, sugar contributes to the calorie count.
A dry wine will usually have 4 calories per grams vs a sweet wine that will have around 20 calories per grams of carbs, which include sugar.
What is 19 Crimes?

This spirit lives on today through innovators and culture creators, like Cali’s own Snoop Dogg.

What are 19 Crimes talking labels?
19 Crimes is the firm wine brand to have introduced Augmented Reality (AR) experience.
If you download their app Living Wine Labels [1] and point it to the wine label, it will talk to you telling its story. It’s quite cool if you ask me.
