Can anyone recommend any good non alcoholic wines please?

I've tried a couple in the past but they've not been great.

I know op was asking about wines, but someone mentioned non-alcoholic gin. I've only tried Cerocero from Lidl, which was disgusting. Are there any drinkable ones?

Gordon’s and Tanqueray now do them! I’ve been impressed - I can’t really tell the difference to the alcoholic versions! Maybe a little more floral.

Noseccco

I had this as my Christmas alternative and it was so sweet, gave me a headache. Fine for one glass.

I've seen the Gordon's one - good to know it's drinkable! Will keep a look out for Tanqueray, too. Enjoy both of those with alcohol. Wonder if pubs and restaurants are now serving them? You can get alcohol-free wines and beers everywhere!

I always think no alcohol wines have a rather rancid smell that puts me off more than the taste!

Not no alcohol....but I tried sainsburys 5% alcohol wine a few weeks ago.....and it was OK! About 4 quid a bottle.....I had the red and popped it in the fridge and it was drinkable. So more than half the alcohol of a normal bottle of red....every zero one I've tried has been vile....nosecco is only fit for unblocking drains!

I tried the Kylie zero per cent rosé after a friend mentioned liking the alcohol version. It was nice. Can't remember if it was sparkly, I find those ones a bit easier to drink.

I am with the pp who drinks kombucha, most of the wines are a bit yuck and for some reason I really begrudge paying the same price for a non alcoholic wine as an alcoholic one!

Thank you everyone. I'm not a lager fan plus am coeliac but the low/no alcohol ciders sound good plus the Proseccos. I need to stop or drastically cut back my alcohol intake but have certain social situations where I want to look like I'm having a "grown up" drink.

If you just want a grown up drink, order a nice mixer like fever tree put it in a jazzy gin glass with ice and a slice and you’re there.

hate all non alcoholic wines . Gordons 0% is a game changer .

GailTheSnail · 26/02/2023 11:33

If you like a riesling waitrose does a great non-alcoholic one

If you’re a wine drinker then there really isn’t an alternative in my opinion. However, if you think of the wine as a different beverage without the same expectation I do find de-alcoholized wine better than non-alcoholic (I think the process is different)
If you are a gin drinker there are lots of zero alternatives on the market which are really quite good!

Fake gin is excellent esp with tonic, I'm super impressed by it.

Also noseecco is very good, and some other prosecco alternatives... However I'd love to find a deep rich red and a light crispy white. All been utterly undrinkable so far.

DancingDaughter50 · 26/02/2023 11:55

Noseecco 8s good because you still get that fizzy pop of the bottle and it feels special pouring it
