MyDryBar Rating – 70/100
Drink review – Carl Jung alcohol-free sparkling wine was pretty good and reminiscent of a dry prosecco. You get a dry, crisp mouthful with some background peach and apple notes. The carbonation was also spot on and it wasn’t overall gassy.

I am pleased to say that Carl Jung alcohol-free sparkling wine was pretty good and reminiscent of a dry prosecco. You get a dry, crisp mouthful with some background peach and apple notes.

Aroma & Appearance

When you pop open a bottle of Carl Jung wine expect a noseful of sparkling citrus notes. In the glass it has a light white wine colour with a light carbonation.
