Lovely MNetters, would be grateful for any and all suggestions of decent non alcoholic beverages please, especiallly ones that aren't too sweet. (Still have 8 months to go!)

So far, I've not found a substitute wine I like, all seem too sugary. But I have enjoyed Fever Tree Tonics (especially the pink one with angoustura bark) and Monte Rosso (a slightly bitter non-alcoholic Italian spritzer from Ocado). Are there any more good suggestions?

I've spotted the So Jennie 'luxury bubbles' in shops too, is that worth it for special occasions? Seems very pricey!

DH has been randomly buying me alcohol substitutes for the last few months Grin

I've been working my way through a bottle of seedlip throughout pregnancy. It tastes like peas, so it's nice with cucumber and/or mint, as well as lemon like a g&t.

Also tried Eisberg wines - a white one, possibly sauvignon blanc, was very sweet, a bit like Shloer. The red (cabernet sauvignon) was much better and tasted very close to the real thing, just without that alcohol sharpness and no lingering taste that you'd get with actual wine.

Yesterday he bought me some Stowford Press 0.5% cider so that's next on the list to try!

Have you tried tap water recently? It's refreshing, has no added sugar and is amazingly cheap compared to Fever Tree.
