TASTING NOTES FOR Non-Alcoholic Pre-Selected Dozen
🍷 Appearance
Varies across the selection—from pale straw and blush pink to deep ruby—mirroring classic wine styles. Bright, clean and inviting in the glass, often with excellent clarity and vibrancy typical of alcohol-removed wines.
👃 Aromas
Fresh and approachable, with a spectrum of aromatics depending on the mix—think citrus, apple and tropical fruits in whites; strawberry and watermelon in rosé; and berry, plum and spice in reds. Many show subtle floral, herbal or lightly sweet notes due to the de-alcoholisation process.
👅 Palate
Light to medium-bodied and fruit-forward, delivering flavours of citrus, green apple and tropical fruits in whites, with juicy berry and plum characters in reds. Expect a softer structure than traditional wine, with a focus on freshness and easy-drinking appeal rather than tannin or alcohol weight. Non-alcoholic wines are often crafted from real wine with alcohol removed, retaining some varietal character.
🍈 Texture & Finish
Smooth and clean with a lighter mouthfeel. Acidity provides freshness, while the finish is typically crisp and refreshing, sometimes with a slightly sweet or fruity edge depending on the style.
🍇 Overall Style
A modern, alcohol-free wine experience—fresh, fruit-driven and highly approachable. These curated dozens typically include a mix of sparkling, white, rosé and red styles, offering variety and versatility for all occasions. They are designed to replicate the wine experience while remaining accessible and easy to enjoy.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Extremely versatile—perfect with everything from seafood, salads and light pasta to grilled meats and cheese platters. Sparkling styles work well as an aperitif, while reds pair nicely with casual dining.
🥂 BBD Verdict
A brilliant, inclusive option—fresh, easy-drinking and perfect for any occasion where you want the wine experience without the alcohol. Ideal for mixed dozens, entertaining and broad customer appeal.
