What is non-alcoholic wine?
Technically a precise definition of alcohol-free wine is fermented wine that has had the alcohol removed through either reverse osmosis or vacuum distillation. Additional ingredients are then often added back in to enhance the body and texture. However, our review also encompasses a broader range of sparkling teas and kombucha as we feel some of these offer an equally credible alternative to champagne or sparkling wine due to their similar mouthfeel.

Thomson & Scott ‘Noughty’
Best overall non-alcoholic sparkling wine
Having earned its place as the world leading alcohol-free alternative to champagne and sparkling wine, Noughty sets the bar high for competitors and was in our opinion the closest match for a real wine. Two varieties are currently available, boasting a range of credentials: vegan, organic, low in sugar and halal-friendly. The lightly carbonated chardonnay offers clean, crisp notes of apple, while the recently released rosé is a delicate blend of fresh summer berries. At only 14 calories per glass, it is also the lightest wine we tried, yet this does not detract from the flavour. Produced using traditional winemaking methods along with vacuum distillation, both drinks achieve a sophisticated balance of sweetness and acidity which is invigorating on the palate.

Harvey Nichols Alcohol-Free Chardonnay
Best non-alcoholic champagne
A fitting alternative to champagne, this gently sparkling, vegetarian-friendly wine takes your tastebuds on a tropical voyage through aromas of passion fruit, guava and mango, finishing with a refreshing hint of citrus. Made from expertly de-alcoholised chardonnay grapes, it edges towards the sweet side and would work well mixed in with a bitter spritzer or tonic, or enjoyed alongside seafood. Although pricier than some of it’s counterparts, we feel the complexity of taste and refined mouthfeel of this de-alcoholised wine warrants its place as a luxury beverage.

Harvey Nichols (£10)
Fortnum & Mason Rosé Sparkling Tea
For those seeking a drier alternative to rosé, Fortnum’s sparkling is your ideal bottle. Blending deep darjeeling and smooth silver needle white tea with fresh Japanese sencha and fruity hibiscus tannins, this sparkling tea delivers a delightful cacophony of flavours on the palate. Despite it’s structural complexity, this tea is expertly well-rounded and strikes a harmonious balance between the base of 11 teas and various herbal components. Due to its dryness, it pairs well with light seafood dishes or cured ham, and is perfect for sipping in the sun. This is definitely one worth splashing out on for special occasions or as a gift.

Fortnum & Mason (£17.95)
Oddbird Sparkling Rosé
Best budget non-alcoholic rosé
A finely crafted blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, we found Oddbird’s rosé to be refreshingly crisp, with tangy undertones of apple and tart summer berries. Described by the brand as being ‘liberated from alcohol’, this wine is carefully produced using traditional methods, resulting in a drink which certainly dispels the notion that booze is an integral part of any celebratory occasion. Dry on the palate yet very drinkable, this is equally suitable for pairing with food or enjoying alone as an aperitif.

L.A Brewery sparkling English rose kombucha
Best rosé kombucha
Similarly to sparkling tea, kombucha isn’t actually based on wine but has a distinctly tangy flavour and touch of acidity reminiscent of a fine bubbly. L.A Brewery’s sparkling rose kombucha has been finely crafted at its Suffolk microbrewery as a homage to English sparkling wines, and showcases the countryside’s rich foraging heritage. Tangy assam and white monkey green tea provide a delicate base for floral infusions of organic white rose petals and wild elderflower. We enjoyed the gentle effervescence of this drink along with the fine balance of fresh citrus flavours and wildflowers on the nose, culminating in a crisp, dry finish. Best served chilled as an aperitif or celebratory drink. We think it’s well worth the price for a high-end champagne alternative based on quality teas.

Copenhagen Sparkling Tea – Blå
Best floral sparkling tea
Combining Nordic innovation and Asian tea traditions, The Copenhagen Sparkling Tea Company was founded in 2017 by the award-winning sommelier, Jacob Kocemba, and his business partner, Bo Sten Hansen. It offers a fine selection of organic low- and non-alcoholic sparkling drinks based on a range of organic teas, varying between 0% and 5% in alcohol content.
We were particularly impressed by Blå (blue), a 0% drink which offers a pleasantly fresh and aromatic blend of jasmine, citrus and grape juice along with a complex mix of 13 teas. The delicate, softer notes of white tea balance with the deeper, tangier flavours from green and black, plus a hint of tannins from darjeeling. We loved the unique perfumed aromas and think this versatile beverage could work equally well as an alcohol-free aperitif to accompany light mains as well as a dessert wine.

M&S Fizzero Rosé
Best supermarket non-alcoholic sparkling wine
A gently sparkling pink fizz with strawberry-scented tones conjuring balmy days of summer. Tending towards the sweeter end of the spectrum, Fizzero blends sparkling fermented grape juice with green tea, which adds to the complexity of flavour. At only £4.50, we thought it was remarkably good value for the quality.

La Gioiosa Alcohol-Free Italian Sparkling Wine
Best Italian non-alcoholic sparkling wine
This slightly sweet, full-bodied Italian sparkling wine alternative carries a light, fruity aroma comprising hints of apple, white glera grape and pear. Combined with delicate floral flavours, it is strongly reminiscent of your favourite fizz and comes as no surprise that La Gioiosa is one of Italy’s leading producers of this sparkling wine. Enjoy it served chilled on its own, or mixed into fruity mocktails for the perfect summer party drink.

Nozeco
Best budget non-alcoholic sparkling wine
If you are looking for a budget-friendly, alcohol-free tipple, this hits the spot. With a fruity taste, reminiscent of elderflowers, it would make a brilliant base for mixing summer party mocktails. As a bonus, it’s vegan and a large glass of Nozeco comes in at around 70 calories, so is suitable for health-conscious drinkers who still want a good level of sweetness.

Freixenet Alcohol-Free Sparkling Rosé
Best sweet non-alcoholic sparkling rosé
Hailing from renowned sparkling wine producer, Freixenet, this pink fizz more than pulls its weight in the alcohol-free market. An expertly de-alcoholised wine with medium levels of fizz and notes of summer berries and tropical fruits, it makes a refreshing accompaniment to starters, creamy desserts and fruit-based dishes.

Amazon (£24, 6 x 75cl)
Belle & Co Alcohol-Free Sparkling Rosé
Best for a non-alcoholic spritz
Rather than actively de-alcoholising its wine, Belle & Co’s USP centres around crafting a beverage which retains all the characteristic complexity of wine, yet produces no alcohol during the fermentation process. Its product range comprises a refreshing sparkling brut and rosé which are vegan, low-calorie and gluten-free. Both combine sparkling fermented grape juice with premium quality green tea to produce a well-balanced flavour profile and lasting tang.
While the brut is perhaps a little less complex than other wines, we think it would work perfectly as a fresh, crisp base for mixing into mocktails. The rosé is enriched with organic black carrot extract, giving it a pleasantly sweet and subtly spicy aftertaste, which gives it the edge in our opinion. Both wines have a delicate grape-scented flavour which could easily be paired with a range of sweet and savoury dishes.
