Drink review – Sainsbury’s Pop Zero has a very similar flavour profile to an alcoholic Buck’s Fizz. You get sweet tangy orange flavours with a backdrop of acidic bitterness from the wine. Refreshing and not too gassy this would be a great way to start your Christmas festivities without feeling tipsy.  

Not sure about you but I love a good Buck’s Fizz especially on Christmas morning. So when I came across Sainsbury’s alcohol-free Buck’s Fizz – Pop Zero – I had to give it a try.

If you don’t know what a Buck’s Fizz is its one part orange juice and two parts champagne. It actually got its name when it was first served at London’s Buck’s Club back in the 1920’s.

Of course this version by Sainsbury’s does not use champagne but instead combines concentrated orange juice with de-alcoholised Wine to create a carbonated non-alcoholic drink.

So the question is, will this alcohol-free Buck’s fizz have a place on the My Dry Bar Xmas table? Well, you’ll just need to read my review below to find out.

Is Sainsbury’s alcohol-free Buck’s Fizz any good?

Taste

Well, the good news is this is a pretty tasty treat. Pop Zero shares a very similar flavour profile to an alcoholic Buck’s Fizz. You get sweet tangy orange flavours with a backdrop of acidic bitterness from the wine. It tasted to me like someone had added prosecco to a glass of orange Fanta. Refreshing and not too gassy this would be a great way to start your Christmas festivities without feeling tipsy.  

Aroma & Appearance

Once I popped the (very tight) cork off the bottle of this non-alcoholic Buck’s Fizz you got some punchy orange and sparking wine aromas hitting your nose. In the glass it looked like a traditional Buck’s Fizz ith a cloudy orange colour and slight carbonation.
