This is an ok NA option. Lots of residual sugar.

Avoid at all costs. Would rather drink grape juice.

This is only the second non-alcoholic wine I've tried. It's better than the first one, which I dumped down the drain. It's obvious by the taste and bubbles that there's no alcohol. The smell is like a full bodied Cab, but the taste is like grape juice. Maybe a little drier than juice.

I'll try 1 more brand, and after that, I might as well save money and just buy grape juice if it's no better. Open to suggestions for 0 proof red wine.

Okay, you are NEVER going to get the mouth feel, weight, or texture of a true wine with dealcoholized wine, especially reds. But for a wine lover who is going through pregnancy, this is about a 60% on the "closeness you can get" scale, especially if you are really missing just the feelings of drinking a glass of wine. I can do about 2 glasses before feeling fed up with not having the true tastes. So if you're preggo and want to have a drink in your hand at a party, or really craving having wine... it will do for the first few hours of nostalgia.

Not a fan. Reminds me of old grape juice left on a table in the backyard for a year. It has something that reminds me of grapes - powdered grapes. Sugar-water thin, sucrose finish. No real redeeming qualities - except I suppose it could put out s small fire if you don't have anything else around.
