Lussory Alcohol Merlot Premium Eliminated 0.0% Non-Alcoholic Dealcoholic Red Wine From Spain, Low Calorie, Low Sugar, Halal Certified (750Ml, 1 Bottle)

I drink red wine almost exclusively. I decided to try some dealcoholized versions. This Lussory red was my first taste. It smelled like vinegar. I couldn't find any notes of red wine at all. It also tasted like mild vinegar. I mixed in some "real" red wine to try to cover the vinegar taste. I'm not sure it's possible to "dealcoholize" a red wine without completely ruining the complex flavors and smells. From what I see on labels, some try to add in some other ingredients to cover the vinegar and restore some flavor. This Lussory doesn't do that. So, what I smell and taste is vinegar.

It’s not good. To each their own. Maybe you will like it. But, to me and my wife, it tastes like grape juice that has gone bad. That’s sad too because we are looking for a 0-alcohol brand that we liked. This was the first one we tried. Hopefully others are better.

I bought this wine when I first got pregnant and was hosting a family function. I didn’t want anyone to know I was pregnant yet and am a wine drinker so having this as a substitute seemed like a great option. I was pleasantly surprised by this NA wine- for what you would expect without the alcohol, this was as close as I got to a real wine. I willingly finished the bottle over a few days, even after we successfully hid the pregnancy at the event. All things considered, a great alternative when you’re not drinking alcohol.

Contains Dimethyl dicarbonate. When reading the ingredients on Amazon, this “preservative” s NOT mentioned. It is on the label. Have no ide about the wine taste as refuse to drink something that has a chemical known to cause severe skin irritation. Had it been listed, I would not have purchased. Amazon was nice enough to refund me so I am tossing the bottle.

Liked the idea of a non-alcoholic wine, however this was very expensive considering no alcohol. Taste was ok expected a little better for the price. Works good in sauces though!!!
