If you are taking a break from the booze but don’t want to be nursing a water at the next celebration. we may have the answer for you. Non alcoholic wines are becoming an increasing market in Hong Kong as more people become sober curious or want to take a break from drinking alcohol.
We have taken the hard work out of finding an alcohol free sparkling wine to celebrate with whilst you keep your sober streak going. Below our team have reviewed and picked some of our favourite 0% alcohol sparkling wines to get you started.
Now, to be absolutely honest with you, you will need to manage your expectations with these bubbly suggestions as none of the sparkling wines I’ve tasted so far really replicate a real champagne. However, for many people this is a positive thing as tasting something that reminds them of real alcohol can be triggering and make them want to reach for the real thing. I’ve come to the conclusion that what is actually missing is the slightly acidic taste of the alcohol which isn’t really easy to create. Its a little ironic that this alcohol flavour was an acquired taste when we had your first few drinks and yet is now so familiar its absence is notable.
Despite the lack of acidity our tasting team have really enjoyed the lighter, refreshing taste of some of these wines which are available easily in several stores around Hong Kong.
