They seem to be getting difficult to find, but I highly recommend Cru Kafé decaf coffee bags - miles better than other brands.MrsStepford said:I tried Taylor's of Harrogate decaffeinated coffee bags and when I had black coffee, it was like bad instant so I wouldn't recommend that.0 -
I just wish there were more wines at 6% alcohol. There don't appear to be any in Tesco although I think Portuguese Vinho Verde wine is lower in alcohol.0

Can you not dilute it with an equal quantity of water / tonic / lemonade / juice to turn a 12% into 6%?thriftytracey said:I just wish there were more wines at 6% alcohol.

It's not really wine though at that point, it's really a spritzer or a cocktail.Rosa_Damascena said:

There are some acceptable zero alcohol wines around - the M&S rose prosecco zero is pretty good if you want a sparkling option.1 -
Sainsbury's and Morrisons have a few mid-alcohol wines. There is a range (sauvignon blanc, rosé and shiraz) called McGuigan Mid at 7% alcohol and another called Time Keeper at 5%, although the latter doesn't have great reviews.thriftytracey said:I just wish there were more wines at 6% alcohol.

If I’m designated driver or just not wanting an alcoholic drink then I just have council pop (or tap water). That or a cup of tea 😁0
