The very best af wine, preferably white.

I'm less than a month away from being a year af. I've decided that I really like life without booze so I'd like to stick to it, almost all of the time. I really enjoy the occasional af gin and tonic. I love the fever tree options. However, I've yet to find a white wine that doesn't taste more like juice than wine. M and S is my go to for af drinks at the moment. Can anyone offer any recommendations? Thanks.

Sorry no it does not exist.

DingDongMerrilyWithPie · 03/12/2023 16:25

I'm watching OP as someone recommended af fizz from M &S once but I didn't take the details

ElevenSeven · 03/12/2023 16:28

none, that I’ve found.

AF beers are passable, all the wine is sweet and rank

I thought you were looking for the very best as fuck wine!!!!

littlelizzard · 03/12/2023 16:30

no personal recommendations myself but if you check out Charlotte Greedys instagram page she is pregnant and has been recommending various af drinks

Sparklesocks · 03/12/2023 16:30

Sorry I haven’t really found any alcohol free wine I thought was that good, Nozecco isn’t a bad fizzy alternative but is a bit sickening after too much.

I initially thought the af in your title meant ‘as fuck’ as in the best as fuck wine 😄

Freixnet Cava is pretty good. And Oddbird sparkling are nice but pricey. AF beers are much better

MadamVastra · 03/12/2023 16:33

Me too @bobotothegogo

MrsTerryPratchett · 03/12/2023 16:33

You'd be much better off just drinking drinks that aren't AF versions of alcoholic drinks. The wine is always rank. The beer is sometimes good.

MrsRL · 03/12/2023 16:50

The M&s AF white wine is the best I've found, not just sweet juice, unfortunately their AF fizz does just taste like sweet fizzy juice. There are lots of online places selling AF drinks now, I've mainly got AF spirits from places like dry drinker and wise bartender, not tried the wines from there though

Determineddoris · 03/12/2023 16:53

Hi, I haven't found a nice zero per cent wine white or red or rose. Nozeco is passable as pp said but the beers are much better.

PecanPeach · 03/12/2023 16:54

I think you're looking for a unicorn unfortunately.

MyDogCalledMax · 03/12/2023 16:55

@bobotothegogo me too! I was hoping for recommendations 😂😂

mamaduckbone · 03/12/2023 16:56

When i was pregnant i discovered a really passable af fizz from
Morrisons of all places. No idea if it still exists.

Rainbowshit · 03/12/2023 16:56

My favourite alcohol drink is Crodino. Like aperol spritz.

Some of the af Proseccos are ok and some of the reds but have not found a good af white wine.

Favourite alcohol free! Crodino is non alcoholic.

Everything I've tried has gone down the outside drain

Sounds like that might be a better idea!

I really like the McGuigan Zero range although it’s not always easy to find. Also Noughty, but I’ve only tried the red and it’s a bit pricy.

FlindersKeepers · 03/12/2023 17:19

Not sure if Aldi UK stocks it, but Aldi Germany does a pretty OK AF chardonnay and even AF fizz in a can (which goes lovely with Crodino). Might be worth a look?

Westfacing · 03/12/2023 17:27

I honestly don't think they exist - been looking for a couple of years since over-indulging on wine during Lockdown!

AF beer is OK to me, probably because I didn't drink beer so don't really know what's good or bad.

CaveMum · 03/12/2023 17:29

I agree that it’s probably better to find a nice “other” type of drink that you can stick in a wine glass! I usually default to Belvoir Elderflower Presse or I quite like the Equinox Organic Raspberry and Elderflower Kombucha.

I keep thinking they'll have invented one by now.
