For whatever reason it might be, some people can’t or don’t want to touch alcohol. Whether it’s religion, health, or you’re just trying to cool it for a few weeks, it’s pretty hard to avoid the fact that everyone else seems to be drinking, and enjoying themselves as they go. I’ve been there!
So for one week only (and I mean ONLY), New Wine This Week is going to dedicate itself to non-alcoholic alternatives. I could go for all kinds of soft drinks, maybe those elderflower pressé things that are going great guns in the shops these days. I’m going to have a go at the alcohol free wines that are available. I’ve never tried them, this might be a “first and last time” kind of thing, but who knows, eh?
My picks for this week are:
Sainsbury’s
Alcohol Free Sparkling Wine @ £2.75
Aldi
Couldn’t find one
Majestic Wine
Couldn’t find one
Spirited Wines
Couldn’t find one
Vinmonopolet
Söhnlein Brilliant Sparkling @ NOK 64.40
Hope I’ve not pissed off too many wine-o’s with this and you all get stuck in! Obviously struggling to find them in a couple of places, will check with their offices and update if I find alternatives.
Cheers
Well done you for your hard work! On the whole you might be better off with the elderflower pressés … at least you can use them as a mixer when you’re done 😉
well it was either these or virgin cocktails, might still end up that way with virgin bellinis
I’m actually looking forward to this week- I haven’t really touched anything marketed as “non-alcoholic wine,” but I’m interested in seeing what happens.
🙂 you and me both!!
It might do the liver good. Good Luck.
there is that upside!
