Le Petit Chavin Non-Alcoholic Merlot

Nice red easy to drink

This wine certainly smells like wine (not juice). It only has a slightly “juicy” aftertaste; unlike many of the others I have tried. So far, this is the front runner in my race to be alcohol free

I have tried several non-alcoholic red ones and generally been disappointed, but I’ve liked this one the best so far. This one doesn’t taste like the Australian reds I usually drink, it reminds me of wines I had when on holiday in Barcelona. A peppery/savoury nose with a very faint hint of sweetness in the background that balances out well. Soft and interesting, I really like it.

I could not get enough of this wine

This is one of my favourite alco free reds. It is light, easy drinking. Of course, it lacks the umph of the alcohol but after a while your tastebuds adjust and you feel great in the morning!

Quite enjoyed this one

This wine needs a good half hour open prior to drinking to enjoy the full mouth feel and aromatic berry nose. It is a lovely ruby/cherry color and has a mild berry taste, with a hint of floral freshness. It tastes like a young wine but it still has plenty of palate to keep you interested.

Too sweet and heavy to drink as wine, more like a sweetened grape juice or even a red fruits cordial.

I wish the ingredients and nutrition panels were available for everything sold on CraftZero. I would have avoided buying this as I would have seen it has grape juice added. The ingredients panel shows this wine to be 79% Merlot-based beverage, so 21% is not and never was wine. My experience is that any de-al wine with grape juice added tastes overwhelmingly of the grape juice. As this does. It offers a good nose, lovely colour but is let down the sweet grape juice flavour. Not a fan, wouldn't recommend and will not repeat my purchase. CraftZero please, please add the ingredients and nutrition panels for all your listed products.

Upon first taste I thought this would be another disappointing red. After letting it air for a while the flavour comes through, not as weak as other halal reds.
