Dry Wines - The Alcohol Free Kind
I taste tested de-alcholised wines to try this Dry July. These are ones I would buy again - unlike a ones that tasted like grape juice or lime cordial. They all taste better when first opened.
I recommend purchasing online as they were at the back...
A slightly fruity wine that lives up to the Grant Burge name. The perfect partner for it a cheese and fruit platter.

Grant Burge Prosecco Zero
I admit I bought it for the cute title, but taste was great too. Tasty white with a tang that marks it as a wine rather than a soft drink (soda).

Great taste from a simple and rewarding DIY. I loved making this as a kid even though I didn’t like the taste at the time. It’s simple to do and tastes great. Note this may occasionally have trace amounts of alcohol in it.
Homemade Ginger Beer
For when you feel like indulging in a tasty beverage at home, swap one home brew for another. Brewing a cup of coffee takes only slightly longer than opening a bottle and a lot less time than brewing your own beer.
