Wine has a long way to go until a non-alcoholic one can really replace the real thing. Removing alcohol also removes flavour and in my experience they often end up tasting more like grape juice than wine. However, alcohol-free sparkling wines tend to style it out a bit better than most and this relatively new brand, launched by two wine trade veterans and a Master of Wine, is made from 100% organic Macabeo grapes from central Spain. It uses latest technology to remove the alcohol gently (at low temperature) so it doesn’t strip out the fresh, crisp, lemony flavours. Nicely done.

Hi Helen, have you found a decent still white wine akin to a dry Burgundy on your travels?
Hi Helen I have recently been diagnosed with cancer and have a hoard of tablets and can’t drink alcohol!, Disaster! I remember you recommended a rose non alcoholic wine on Saturday live. Can you help please?
