UPDATED FOR 2026
10 Most Popular Alcohol-Free Wines in 2026
Alcohol-free wine is improving quickly, but it is still one of the most uneven low-and-no categories. Sparkling wines and rosés are often the safest place to start, while reds remain more challenging.
This guide looks at ten of the most talked-about alcohol-free wines of 2026, based on retailer prominence, availability, consumer interest and wider recognition within the category.
Important: most of the wines below have not yet been personally reviewed and scored by MyDryBar. They are included because they are prominent and widely discussed, not because they have automatically earned a MyDryBar recommendation.

SPARKLING • 0.0%
Scavi & Ray Prosecco 0.0%
Scavi & Ray is one of the more recognisable names in alcohol-free sparkling wine. The appeal is straightforward: light bubbles, familiar Prosecco-style fruit and an easy-drinking profile.
Expect green apple, pear and citrus notes rather than anything especially complex. For someone moving into alcohol-free wine for the first time, that accessibility is part of the attraction.
Best with: antipasti, seafood starters, bruschetta, olives and light salads.
Best for: weddings, brunches, celebrations and pre-dinner drinks.

PREMIUM SPARKLING • 0.0%
Oddbird Blanc de Blancs
Oddbird has become one of the premium names in alcohol-free wine. Its Blanc de Blancs is made from Chardonnay and positioned as a more serious alternative to simple sparkling grape drinks.
Expect green apple, citrus, acidity and a more restrained, wine-like profile. This is one I’d look at for occasions where you want something that feels a little more special.
Best with: oysters, sushi, shellfish, creamy cheeses and seafood.
Best for: anniversaries, dinner parties and celebrations.

RED • 0.5%
Plus & Minus Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir can be a difficult grape to reproduce convincingly once the alcohol has been removed, but Plus & Minus takes the lighter, fruit-led route.
The style leans towards cherry, raspberry and red berry flavours with some gentle spice. If you find many alcohol-free reds too heavy or too sweet, a lighter-bodied Pinot Noir may make more sense.
Best with: roast chicken, mushroom risotto, charcuterie and grilled vegetables.
Best for: Sunday lunch, cosy evenings and relaxed entertaining.

ROSÉ • 0.5%
Noughty Rosé by Thomson & Scott
Noughty is one of the more established premium alcohol-free wine brands, and its Provence-style rosé is designed around the pale, dry-looking profile people expect from southern French rosé.
Strawberry, watermelon, raspberry and floral notes give it a lighter and more summery personality than many alcohol-free reds.
Best with: Mediterranean dishes, seafood, salads and light pasta.
Best for: garden parties, summer afternoons and outdoor dining.

RED • 0.5%
Darling Cellars Shiraz
Alcohol-free red wine is still the hardest part of the category to get right, so richer grape varieties such as Shiraz are always worth paying attention to.
Darling Cellars goes for dark berry, blackcurrant, plum and peppery spice. It is aimed at drinkers who want something with a little more weight than a light Pinot Noir-style red.
Best with: barbecue food, roasted meats, stews and mature cheese.
Best for: autumn evenings, festive meals and hearty dinners.

WHITE • 0.0%
Me JS Ohne Kater Pinot Gris
This German alcohol-free Pinot Gris is positioned as an uncomplicated everyday white rather than a special-occasion bottle.
Pear, apple and peach flavours sit alongside fresh acidity, making it a sensible option for casual meals or warm-weather drinking.
Best with: pasta, seafood, grilled chicken and fresh salads.
Best for: midweek meals, picnics and casual gatherings.

RED • 0.0%
Giesen 0% Merlot
Giesen is one of the best-known producers in modern alcohol-free wine, and its 0% Merlot is often used as a reference point for mainstream dealcoholised red.
Expect plum, blackberry, dark cherry and gentle spice. The attraction is familiarity: it is designed to feel approachable rather than experimental.
Best with: pizza, pasta, burgers, roast beef and lamb.
Best for: everyday dining and family meals.

ROSÉ • 0.0%
Kolonne Null Provence Rosé
Kolonne Null has built a premium reputation by working with established wine producers, and its Provence Rosé is aimed squarely at drinkers looking for something more refined.
Delicate strawberry and red berry notes sit alongside floral character and freshness. It’s the sort of bottle that makes the most sense chilled and served with food.
Best with: grilled fish, seafood platters, salads and soft cheese.
Best for: summer evenings and outdoor entertaining.

WHITE • 0.0%
Zeronimo Grüner Veltliner
Grüner Veltliner makes this one of the more interesting whites in the list simply because it moves beyond the usual Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc territory.
Citrus, green apple, stone fruit and a peppery edge make it particularly suited to food, which is where alcohol-free wine often works best.
Best with: Asian food, seafood, asparagus dishes and white meats.
Best for: dinner parties, tastings and food-focused occasions.

SPARKLING • 0.0%
Cognato Sparkling White
Cognato is the value-led sparkling option in this list. It combines bubbles with apple, citrus and white-grape flavours and is easy to serve to a larger group.
It may not have the same complexity as more premium sparkling alternatives, but that isn’t necessarily what you need for a birthday, party or big gathering.
Best with: finger food, canapés, desserts and light appetisers.
Best for: parties, birthdays and larger celebrations.

Beer is now a very mature alcohol-free category. Wine is not quite there yet.
Sparkling wines tend to cope best with alcohol removal because acidity and bubbles help replace some of the structure that alcohol normally provides. Rosé and lighter whites can also work well.
Red wine remains much more difficult. Removing alcohol can leave reds feeling thin, sweet or lacking in tannin and body. That’s why I would avoid assuming that a popular bottle is automatically a great bottle.

Frequently asked questions
What is alcohol-free wine?
Most alcohol-free wine starts as conventional wine made from grapes and fermented in the usual way. Alcohol is then removed using a dealcoholisation process, with the aim of retaining as much aroma and flavour as possible.
Is alcohol-free wine always 0.0%?
No. Some wines are labelled 0.0%, while others contain a small amount of alcohol, often up to 0.5% ABV. Check the individual label if avoiding alcohol completely is important to you.
Does alcohol-free wine taste like normal wine?
Sometimes surprisingly close, but not identical. Alcohol contributes body, texture and flavour, so removing it changes the wine. Sparkling wines, rosés and lighter whites generally translate more successfully than full-bodied reds.
What is the best alcohol-free wine for celebrations?
Sparkling styles are usually the easiest choice. Oddbird Blanc de Blancs and Scavi & Ray are premium and mainstream options respectively, while Cognato is a more budget-friendly party bottle.
What is a good alcohol-free red wine?
Giesen 0% Merlot, Plus & Minus Pinot Noir and Darling Cellars Shiraz are all prominent options in 2026, but red wine remains the category I’d recommend approaching with the most caution.
Should alcohol-free wine be served chilled?
Sparkling, white and rosé wines are generally best chilled. Alcohol-free reds can also benefit from being served slightly cooler than many conventional reds because this can make them feel fresher.
MyDryBar verdict
If you’re new to alcohol-free wine, I’d start with sparkling wine or rosé rather than heading straight for a red.
Oddbird and Scavi & Ray cover two different ends of the sparkling market, while Noughty and Kolonne Null are useful rosé options. Red-wine drinkers have more choice than they did a few years ago, but this is still the area where expectations need the most management.
And remember: this is a popularity guide, not a MyDryBar top-ten ranking. As I review more of these bottles myself, the personally tested recommendations will continue to live in the main alcohol-free wine section.
