Alas, this syrup isn't exactly "sugar free". The label states "no added sugar" which simply means there's no added sucrose. Here are the ingredients:

The main ingredient after water is concentrated grape juice, which is loaded with sugar! .. 7g carbs per 45 ml serving (3 Tbsp).
I have yet to find a truly lowcarb maple-style syrup that doesn't taste unpleasantly fake. Even the Walden Farms 0 carb/calorie, for which I've read many rave reviews .. tastes like thickened chemicals (because that's exactly what it is)
Just my opinion, of course ..
