Yep, that's right. It's wine. BUT...if you look closely, the label does say alcohol removed. Think along the same concept as O'Douls non-alcoholic beer, but just wine.
I really miss having a glass of wine every so often, especially after a long day at work. I found this about a month ago and tried it (the white). I mixed it with orange juice, so I couldn't really tell how good or bad it was. It was more a festive drink. However, I tried it again recently and really liked it. It's definitely NOT the same as wine (for obvious reasons), but it's tasty and does have just a very mild wine taste.
I am currently sipping on the red as I write this. It's not bad. It's not great, but it serves its purpose. Let's be honest... Anyone who expects this to taste exactly like wine is crazy. The alcohol is removed during a heating process, but for those of us who aren't as picky as some of the reviewers of these wines (because we understand what they really are), it's a nice substitute. At $7.99 a bottle, I think it may be just a bit much when the good stuff is missing, but in reality that's not really a lot at all. Tony's craft beer obsession costs way more than that!
I realize that some people may judge me for blogging about this, but I don't really care too much. I don't feel the need to even defend myself. The alcohol is removed, and I haven't had a bit of it since we found out the great news. CHEERS!
I love it! I wish I had known about this when I was pregnant! Instead, I just had a sip or two of the real stuff every now and then. :)
