    I’m looking for a good quality, pleasant tasting non-alcoholic Wine/Prosecco. I would appreciate any recommendations you may have. T.I.A.

    Olly Smith, the wine guy from BBC's Saturday Kitchen was recommending M&S Alcohol Free Sparkling Muscat NV, but not sure if ROI stores stock it.

    An elderflower cordial mixed with sparkling water and a lemon or lime wedge has a bit of bite to it.

    I picked up a few bottles of ALDI’s Zero Point Zero Sparking White & Rosé today. It’s only €3.49.

    Costcutters/Londis are selling an alcohol free Prosecco called ‘Nosecco’ for €4.99.

    I got a juniper flavoured tonic water in Sainsburys that worked as a non-alcoholic G&T. Comes in a nice glass bottle so looks like one of those fancy pressé drinks too/

    Any of the alcohol free wines or bubbles I've tried have all been oversweet muck, tbh. You're better off with a good quality cordial & sparkling water.

    Belvoir Fruit Farms do a lovely Botanical Juniper Berry non alcoholic G&T. Their Elderflower Pressé is quite nice also. You’ll find their full range in most health food stores and some Tescos.
