DU winos: is there a non-alcoholic even worth drinking?
Let me just say I love my wine. I loooove it. Loooooooove my wine. ;)

But we've been experimenting with the wagon for about a month. I'm fairly unimpressed with the n/a beer that's out there, even when I spend a few pennies.

Is there an alcohol-free wine that's worth bothering with? Or should I stick with the Martinelli's sparkling cider, which has the added effect of making me feel like I'm 12 years old and every night is Christmas? :P

1. The Cold Duck sparkling alcohol free champaign is good. As for
wine, it loose a lot in the translation. O'Dooles beer I have found tastes like the real thing. Or at least as I remember it.

And if you're going to feel like 12 and every night is Xmas, why would you switch!!

3. Martinelli's sparkling cider is great.
Health food stores have some excellent non-alcoholic 'wines'.

6. I had to thnk a long time about this one...
But I finally remembered something I like.

Get a good herbal, fruity tea in the big ice tea bag. Make a strong pot, then add a cinnimon stick, and some thin slices of oranges (peel and all). If you want to, add cranberry juice or apple juice to sweeten it. Drink it hot. It's almost like a sangria and great on cold days.
