L'Occitane has launched some grape-based products: Grape Shower Oil, Grape Crushed Polish, Grape Warming Body Wrap, Grape Anti-Water Retention Gel and Grape Beauty Milk. But smothering your body with these things is not enough: you need to go on a 30-day grape diet.

She lost 2kg in a half-hearted, slimmed-down version of the Grape Diet.

This writer has always believed in having a large amount of grape-based products in his diet. There is a proven techniques - pioneered by the Romans - involving squeezing the juice out of grapes and letting it ferment in barrels. You then bottle the stuff and take the product orally. It comes in two basic colours: red and white. A hybrid pink version - particularly popular in Provence - is also available for summer months.
