Latte Vino® is an all natural wine reduction syrup.
It is the creation of Dolores Lowery, owner of Prickly Pears Gourmet Gallery in Mexico Beach, Florida . ‘Prickly Pears’ is a Gourmet Shop with a full line gourmet foods, fine wine and an espresso bar. The inspiration for Latte Vino came from trying to create espresso drinks with wine. Of course wine in the “raw” did not work, so a wine syrup came to mind and Latte Vino was the result. This unique syrup does not cover up the flavor of fine espresso but enhances it. The “Latte Vino” latte has become the best seller at Prickly Pears. It also makes an exceptional Chai Latte. We call it our “Chai Vino.” At Prickly Pears we brew organic Chai in the espresso machine one drink at a time just like we do our espresso. We then sweeten the Chai with Latte Vino and add steamed milk. It is the best Chai you will ever find and it’s all natural.
Originitated as a sweetner for lattes, Latte Vino is so unique the uses are only limited by your imiganation. Check out our recipes. And please share your recipes with us. Just email them to

When the wine is heated the alcohol as well as the sulfites are cooked out so there are no restrictions on serving Latte Vino.
