Whether you’re a seasoned non-drinker or just testing the waters, this selection is bound to redefine the way you view alcohol-free alternatives.
Fre Sparkling Brut
Fre’s Sparkling Brut is my top pick for non-alcoholic wine. It has the perfect balance of bubbles and flavor, reminiscent of elevated apple cider. I break this out on (every) occasion, but my favorite way to enjoy it is with a slice of strawberry shortcake.
Proxie’s Red Clay features a blend of spicy and fruity notes with a sharp black tea base, resulting in a fun yet sophisticated taste. I highly recommend pairing it with your favorite charcuterie to enhance the unique flavor.
Take a ride on the opulent side with a bottle of St. Regis Cabernet. It’s a robust blend of black currant, cherry, toasty oak, spice, mint and herb flavors that make the perfect pairing for a hearty pasta dish. Lasagna anyone?
This rosé—a mix of strawberry blossom, citrus, lychee and mineral goodness—is like a garden party for your senses. The sweet and sparkling nature of this wine makes it a versatile match for brunch, lunch and dinner.
This white wine is bold, bright and unlike anything you’ve ever tasted. It’s crafted with three unique grape varietals, all of which will elevate your senses.Available at Total Wine
