The Truth About Non-Alcoholic Wine After Tasting 40 Bottles

Picture
Air Date: Wednesday, January 21st, 2026
Listen to the Podcast!
Being pregnant forced me into a real-world test of non-alcoholic wine, and the results were not what you might expect.

When I announced I was pregnant, the constant question that followed once wine was off the table was: are there any good non-alcoholic wine options? That curiosity turned into a deep dive for me where I tasted more than 40 non-alcoholic wines, all while continuing to taste traditional wine for comparison.

You’ll hear an honest breakdown of why, in my opinion, non-alcoholic wine does not taste like wine, how alcohol-removed wine differs from wine alternatives, and why expectations matter so much when approaching this category. The episode also explores how non-alcoholic wine is made, why it is often expensive, and why it does not last once opened.

At the end I share six non-alcoholic wines that are genuinely enjoyable, plus where to find quality bottles if you are navigating pregnancy, sobriety, or simply looking to cut back without giving up the ritual.

So if you are curious about non-alcoholic wine and want an honest take before spending your money, this episode will help you know what to reach for and what to skip.

6 Non-Alcoholic Wines I Recommend
  1. Dr. Lo Riesling
  2. Sea Monster Tidal Wave White
  3. Joyus Sparkling Wine
  4. Domaine EdeM N.0 Sparkling Rosé
  5. Heinz Wagner Black Forest NA Bubbles (use code CORKFIZZ15 to save 15% off 3 or more bottles)
  6. Woody’s Sparkling Rosé
