Non alcoholic wine / beer

[Justnavigating]

Has anyone found any that’s actually nice ? I have found a few beers but yet to find a wine !

Any recommendations would be fab ! Thank you ☺️

I really enjoy zero percent beers. Erdinger 0% and Guinness 0% are my favourites, but there are lots of others.

For drinks with mood enhancement properties - Impossibrew Pale Ale, or Sentia which is lovely with tonic or as a mocktail base. Not sure the wines are quite there- but some Rose 0%'s are nice on a warm day.

I really like Beck's Blue alcohol free. Really refreshing ice cold from the fridge and actually tastes like real beer.
My son is a fan of Erdinger.
I've never tried non alcoholic wine though. I've just never really fancied trying it.

All NA wine tastes like Shloer to me. But I really like the Corona Cero beer.

We literally bought a bottle of every non-alcohol beer we could get our hands on and sampled them all. First choice for us is Peroni, second for me is Becks Blue, Dh likes Guiness.

I have yet to find a wine, if anyone can recommend a white or rose I would be very happy to start sampling again. They all taste like they are watered down sadly, no depth of flavour.

Some great beers… especially IPA types:

Van de Streek New England IPA
Beaverton’s Lazer Crush
Citra IPA

didnt try long on finding a wine - nothing worth drinking imo

Lucky Saint is my favourite non-alcoholic beer. NA wine is much trickier.

Any lager type alcohol free beers I find fairly unpleasant. The best for me is the Brew Dog 10 pack alcohol free selection.

Because IPA style beers have more inherent flavour, I find the AF ones are better. Obviously that does require you to like IPA style beers in the first place!

Scavi & Ray Prosecco is quite nice, the best alcohol free one I've found

the fizzy AF wines can be ok, the Freixnet 0% is pretty good! None of the still AF wines are any good.

There are many excellent non alcholic beers. I haven't found a wine I can get on with yet.

If you like a lager, the Aldi own brand 0% lager is really nice.

Second that Corona Cero is really, really good. No wines have been found yet...all pretty hideous apparently.

Peroni 0% is the best lager in my opinion.

All AF wine tastes like pop to me, although I did read adding a tiny bit of cider vinegar sharpens things up a bit

this is a cracking lager - also still searching for a wine though!

I had an alcohol free Asahi yesterday and it was delicious. Adnams do a 0% ghost ship which I also enjoy - the choice is really good these days.

The Eisberg alcohol free Cabernet Sauvignon was good, but was less keen on some of the others (though can’t remember what else I tried).

Not wine or beer, but Lyres do some excellent non Alcoholic spirits. This one is my favourite, the Italian Spritz, it really is excellent - it's a bit like Aperol, and is great with tonic/non Alcoholic prosecco (or lemonade if you like it sweeter). I tried it first in the Ivy Brasserie, and you can buy it from ocado or amazon but I haven't seen it in other shops, but its in some bars.

Edited to add: my DH says Lyres do a non Alcoholic prosecco too, not just spirits.

I'd recommend Brulo

Nosecco is lovely, as is the AF Kopperberg cider.

Becks Blue and AF Brew Dog also great.

Clear head (ipa style) is sold in my local, it's passable though I can tell. There's a new citra hopped one that's better but can't remember name. Alcohol free "gin" is horrible, the tonic water tastes better without it! (Add a squeeze of lime). Never found alcohol free wine that's not sweet or tastes odd, I drink half (125ml) standard rose half water with ice if I'm driving and stick to one.

Wolf blass Zero Shiraz is the only low alcohol (0.5%) wine that I’ve found that’s ok. It’s still a bit thin but at least it doesn’t taste like slight odd Ribena.

I’ve found some beers that are ok, mostly from smaller independent brewers, wine, no, but really what’s the point, if you don’t want the alcohol , drink water, juice etc

Natureo Rosé and Noughty Red are the best wines I've found after extensive research.

Thatchers 0% cider is very good.

Also thumbs up to Heineken 0 and Asahi 0.

Really surprised by how good Guinness 0 is (75 cals per can also a bonus)

It does seem the beers are improving at a faster rate than wines.

Another vote for Freixenet 0.0% sparkling wine. It’s got a decent mouth-feel. I don’t like Nosecco - it just tastes like Aqua Libra. Not unpleasant, but not like Prosecco.

I’ve yet to find a zero alcohol red that is palatable!

I'm also a big fan of Guiness 0%.
Also really enjoyed the Brew Dog AF selection boxes and buy those whenever I see them on offer.
I also like the Sentia AF gaba spirit

Not alcohol free, but Brancote flight tastes good and is 7%
