Sainsbury’s, Zero Alcohol, Rose, Germany
Sainsbury’s supermarket in the UK sell a lot of wine and theres usually something for everyone, incl thise refraining from alcohol. Their Rosé zero alcohol wine is rather good. There’s no real aroma, if anything it’s a bit artificial on the nose, but the taste is good, it tastes like wine. Off dry with red berries and a hint of cream soda it’s very pleasant. Whether you call it wine is another question but I’m happy to drink it.
Sainsbury’s, Taste the difference, Blanc de Blanc, Chardonnay, Non Alcohol, Sparkling wine
Is wine really wine if there’s no alcohol? Well at 0.5% this does have alcohol, just. It’s really rather good, excellent I would say. Off dry, clean, crisp with peach notes and a soft creamy undertone it’s not a wine that screams 30kcal a glass. Could this be the next big sparkling wine? At £3.75 a bottle it’s well worth trying. Gold star from me.
Sainsburys, Taste the Difference, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2021, Coonawarra, Australia
Sainsburys like all supermarkets has some great wines under their own labels and this Cabernet Sauvignon under their Taste the Difference range is rather good. Its not gold medal winning but its a solid dry red wine. Plenty of red and black fruit, hints of tobacco and spice sitting the back ground. Its like a well spec’d Ford Fiesta car, not your first choice but worth a try for a meal or two. At £7.50 a bottle its great value.
