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.

Eisberg is the best AF wine I've tried. If you like a sparkling, Freixenet 0.0 is nice and less sweet than Nozecco. Top tip: put a splash of apple cider vinegar into an AF white. Cuts out any sweetness and gives you a nice wine hit 👍👍👍👍

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.

I found it tasted like Schloer.

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

Me too.

This is not a thread for me.

I don’t think it’s possible for wine. I tried everything when I was pregnant. There was a sparkling that was ok, but you couldn’t have more than a glass. I’d recommend putting soda water and ice in any white wine as it’s more palatable. All the reds were absolutely disgusting. Tasted like undiluted Ribena

I have AF beer in a wine glass - my small brain is often persuaded and I get an alcoholic hit!

To be honest I usually just have yet another cup of tea Smile

I really like McGuigan zero, and I can’t be the only one, it’s often sold out in Sainsbury’s!

I quite like the Kylie alcohol free wine. It surprised me when I had some at a friend's house.

I can tolerate a glass or two of the Coop own brand Nosecco but anything else I've tried is pretty rank.

I'll try this, thanks

I really really like noughty. Details here noughtyaf.com but it's the only brand I've found that actually tastes like wine.

I think you're looking for a unicorn unfortunately.

🤣🤣🤣

Jukes Cordialities are the best sub I've found while pregnant. Personally not as keen on the whites, but no6 is a great red alternative. You can buy a mixed selection to give different ones a try!

There are lots of great AF beers now but I really wish they would invent the white wine! I do drink a small amount of alcohol occasionally so I have real white wine, but my tolerance is so low I can only have half a glass. I would love a af white that doesn’t taste like dishwater. Thanks to PPS for the recommendations which I’ll try (while trying not to get my hopes up…)

I tried the rose Nozeco last night. I quite liked it and preferred it to the regular one (that just tasted like shloer).

Yeah. It's alright. Hopefully over the years the af wine will improve
