Alcohol-Free Sauvignon Blanc
The McGuigan family has been producing wine in Australia for over four generations. They have created some award-winning red wines so it isn’t really a surprise to see McGuigan dipping their toe into the world of alcohol-free wine – named the Zero range.
There are currently four wines in their Zero range including a Rose and a Shiraz but the one I tried was the alcohol-free Sauvignon Blanc.
Sauvignon Blanc is known for its fruity, refreshing, and sometimes spicy notes but did this alcohol-free version hold its own or is not worth its salt; you’ll need to read our review below.
Is Alcohol-free Sauvignon Blanc any good?
Taste
As a wine lover, I reckon I have a good palette when tasting wines … and I’m afraid this alcohol-free Sauvignon Blanc is pretty bad. I had it chilled and it looked refreshing in the glass but on the tongue, it was super sweet with a strange tartiness to it that seemed completely out of place. I didn’t get any nice classic Sauvignon Blanc peach or pear flavour at all. I wasn’t able to finish the glass and the rest of the bottle went down the drain!
Aroma & Appearance
McGuigan’s Sauvignon Blanc smelt a lot better than it tasted, it had quite a realistic citrusy smell which wasn’t off putting at all. It also looked good in the glass with the calssic colour of Sauvignon Blanc.
Bonus points
Well, this is certainly a lot healthier to drink compared to a classic Sauvignon Blanc. it is very low in calories and has 0% alcohol so will suit most drinkers. It’s also vegan friendly and gluten-free.
Buy alcohol-free Sauvignon Blanc
At the time of writing, you can find this in most supermarkets including Tesco’s, Sainsbury’s and Ocado. You can also purchase this wine from the alcohol-free specialist retailers below.
The Dry Drinker is a great allrounder when it comes to alcohol-free drinks with a great range of wines, beers and spirits.
