To ask what is the best low/non alcoholic red wine

After years of overindulging on red wine at the weekends I've decided I need to cut back. I love the taste and depth of a glass of wine....I know low alcohol won't touch the real deal but in your opinion which one comes closest? Thanks in advance

We tried one of the AF white wines recently and I was really surprised how utterly, utterly vile it was.

I would far rather drink something else, there are some nice drinks out there.

Have yet to find a half decent AF red wine. The McGuigan sparkling is quite nice if you like a dry wine and it's not overly sweet like most seem to be. I'm liking a shot of the Gordons zero gin with diet scwheppes lemonade, ice and a slice of lime at the moment. Again it's not overly sweet so feels a bit more of a treat than drinking schloer etc. Just a shame it's so expensive!

The only AF red 'wine' I like is Natureo, which I discovered in Waitrose. Love their rosé too.

Agree that AF beer is good these days. Our favourite Friday night drink at the moment is the Martini Vibrante (AF campari-type drink), topped up with Tesco Nozeco (which is actually really nice on its own!), in a massive fishbowl glass with loads of ice and a slice of clementine. Part of the pleasure of drinking for me is psychological, and this 'feels' like a proper cocktail!

I'm tempted to try the AF gins, but don't really want to spend £14 on a bottle to be disappointed. I need to see if I can buy some miniatures.

Pregnant here. I've been having a Tonic water and lime and while it's not the same, it gives me that bitter taste gin has.

Frexient fizz was ok but any white or red was just disgusting IMO. I drank a fair bit of AF beer when I was pregnant which wasn't bad at all.

You could cut back by buying really expensive wine so you limit it

Torres Natureo Wine g.co/kgs/HVwHt2

This is the only one I can drink. I've only seen it in Waitrose. I find they're all a bit too fruity but this is palatable.
There are some amazing alcohol free beers around. We have a great beer shop near us which only sells beers from independent breweries and the flavours aren't compromised by being alcohol free.

All terrible. The best non alcoholic alcohol I've found is the Clean Co tequila, which smells exactly like tequila. It's great with lime and soda, almost like a proper drink (almost).
