I am mellowing towards non-alcoholic wines - it's a worrying trend
Most of the ones with potential were from McGuiggans in Australia and show the same sort of innovation that brought the Black Label Shiraz to our shores some two decades or so ago, but they were still just a tad on the sweet side for good company right now. The good news is that I found two that I was happy to write about and that's two more than I found last year when I last tried this idea, so without further ado, here we go, folks. Van Hunks (Image: free) Tread Softly, Everything Except Pinot Noir, Australia A very classy wine and easily recognisable as a pinot with soft juicy berry fruits and a rounded finish. Without the alcohol, it's slightly sweeter than normal and lacks the normal earthiness of a traditional pinot but this is a very enjoyable wine. £10.99 Van Hunks, South African, non-alcoholic Rose Produced from Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a delight. Medium in style but otherwise as enjoyable as a good Provence rose when served chilled to the bone with its crushed strawberries and summer fruits. Amazon and £14
