Alcohol

wow! Have to check it out for sure!!!

...and following the theme here:

Riding the 'moderation' wave, Melbourne's Brunswick Aces distillery will soon be launching the country's first permanent non-alcoholic bar.

Set to launch in late April 2021, the 150-person venue in Brunswick East will offer an extensive list of curated drinks and cocktails for teetotalers — this includes beer and wine, and the distillery's signature 0% alcohol gin alternatives, Spades Sapiir and Hearts Sapiir.

Hahaha let me know how that goes! I tried the Shiraz - not quite as close to ‘real’ as I think the Chardonnay is. Interested in your reviews 😊😊

@Tigergirl thank you I have just placed an order from sansdrinks online.  Getting mixed red and white and see how I go.  Thinking I wont tell the hubby they are non alcoholic and see if he notices any difference.  

Currently enjoying first taste of non alcoholic New Blood Chardonnay-probably best zero alcohol wine I’ve had. Check out sansdrinks online - they have heaps choice. It’s nice to sit back with a wine glass in hand knowing I’m not doing any harm 😊😊

If I'm trying to be good, soda water with a dash of pomegranate juice has a mouth feel similar to wine. Pathetically lacking in the ahh, factor, but I can almost fool myself.

Have a look on sansdrinks online - a fairly new venture by an Aussie girl I believe. Lots of choices. I, too, try to enjoy a wine every now and then but if I can find a non alcoholic one that is similar in taste I’ll be very happy 😊😊

I like a drink with food - water does the job but is tasteless. Mineral water is too gassy. Milk is not the right thing, fruit juice and soft drinks don’t taste right either with food and are full of sugar! Personally it’s the taste of wine I like rather than the effect - a good Sangiovese or a Nebbiolo! But as I take the medical advice, I keep
it limited - enjoy on occasions but have the non-alcoholic stuff at other times. I believe I can get a non alcoholic Tempranillo - in the UK! Europe is much better at offering zero alcohol options in bars and restaurants! 

I used to think the same! Sometimes, it’s the social side of having a glass of wine that I need without the alcohol. 😊

Personally, I never understood no alcohol wine, beer or any form of what should be alcoholic but isn't......what the hecks the point lol  :D
