Here's the deal with non-alcoholic or alcohol-removed wines: it can be triggering or completely liberating to those of us who are trying to avoid alcohol. Many of these options can be super sweet and almost taste like you’re drinking grape juice, and others can feel sophisticated and like you’re still a part of the party!

Sovi is by far my absolute alcohol free red wine. The website describes it as a “dry red blend with notes of black raspberry, cherry and vanilla.” As an average person who drank whatever wine was on sale, I would say Sovi’s red blend is perfectly tart, just sweet enough, and it leaves that coated feeling of red wine in your mouth, which I’ve definitely missed since I stopped drinking alcohol.

Luminara is an alcohol-removed chardonnay that’s packaged like a fancy, five-star alcoholic wine. I would recommend this if you wanted a light, crisp bottle of wine to share with friends. Adding a few ice cubes in your glasses is a great way to cut the sweetness if you want an even more subtle taste.

Fre Sparkling Brut will be your trusty sidekick for any brunch because of how well it imitates champagne. Mixed with orange juice, peach juice, or even on its own, this NA drink gives you all the good bubbly feelings without the hangover!
