    my daughter tried the new alcohol free wine in A**i the other week and took it back said it was *** awful. She isn't supposed to drink too much because she has weak bones but says she would rather not drink at all or carry on but drink less. I would love to find something nice that isn't alcohol but so far have had no luck, will keep an eye out the same as you for replies, believe the recent offering from te*** is supposed to be good though ie the finest prosecco.

    I think that most low/ alcohol free wines don't taste great owing to the process of booze removal. I go further on low and zero beers... They taste AWFUL!!

    On the wine front, you can pick up 6-9% proper wines from Germany & SA that are properly fermented to a lesser strength. There are French wines ciders and perrys that are 3-5% but are very sweet.

    Or just normal stuff in a spritz
