to expect to find a good alcohol-free wine?

I will be working a 12 hour shift on Xmas Day, so will be having my Xmas dinner with colleagues in the workplace.
Can't have alcohol, but I feel that a Xmas dinner needs a glass of red to accompany it.
Any recommendations for an alcohol-free version?

Becks blue really does taste like beer, when pregnant I had to check it was non-alcoholic as I started to feel a bit tipsy :)

YABU

Wine is by definition alcoholic. So you may as well accept that it tastes great because of the alcohol. Anything else is just fruit juice.

Drink juice and accept it for what it is.

Yes I have given up on this quest.

There is no good alcohol free wine, mainly because it's not wine. You can't have wine without alcohol and it will never taste like wine.

Ah, re-animated for spamming. Do fuck off.

Rawson's Retreat do a nice non alcoholic red wine. Tesco stock it.

Sainsbury's sparkling wine is not too bad.

Haven't found a white one I like yet.

I think I would just drink juice I have worked many Xmas days as a nurse so I feel your pain but I never really see the point in non alcoholic wine/beer if I can't drinkni stick to fruit juice or lemonade .

This Giacobazzi grape is really nice if you like sweet wines....hard to find though. Sometimes placed near the scloer-type drinks

Ah zombie thread I hope you have this Xmas off Op!

NotTooTough · 12/09/2017 11:03

Yes VU.

If it hasn't fermented, it's just juice.

The Eisberg or whatever it's called is the nicest I tried/ if you like fizzy, echo falls does a nice one!

LlygodenFach · 12/09/2017 11:32

Thank DeeElle88, I'll take a look.
