Tasting Notes: What to Expect
Before we jump into the list of non-alcoholic wines, here's what you can expect. Non-alcoholic wines aim to offer a sensory experience akin to their alcoholic counterparts, with distinct flavour profiles that cater to a variety of palates.
Generally, you'll find these wines to be lighter in body, which can affect the intensity of their flavours. The aromas, though often similar to traditional wines, maybe slightly more subdued. Taste-wise, they strive to replicate the balance and depth you’d expect, with fruit-forward notes, and a clean finish that lacks the warmth alcohol provides. This creates a unique tasting experience that allows for enjoyment without the effects of alcohol.
