non-alcoholic wine
I'm not really much of a drinker but am REALLY craving wine right now. I know a glass or two is okay but I just wnat to stay away from that. Any opinions on nonalcoholic wine? Anyone had it? Does it taste the same?

Agreed.
Nope, the taste is not even close to the real thing. Don't do it!
I had a sip of the real stuff for my 30th bday, it was heavenly.
This exactly!!!! I have been loving some of the coors light NA beer its perfect for this weather weve been having!!!
If you even remotely like regular wine, don't even go there. It's awful stuff. Blech. And it fools you, because it smells like the real deal, so you get excited.... then you take a sip... ick. Alcohol-free champagne is the best and closest substitute for the real thing that I've found. Even N/A beer has a weird funky aftertaste.

OMG the smell is the worst! It totally sets you up. I've found that O'Douls is suprisingly good - especially the Amber version. And I don't get the after taste. Becks and St Pauli girl have the worst after taste for me.
I miss wine
I'm sitting here whining about no wine...wow that was bad.
Wish I were a beer fan! Interestingly though my NA wine says it has minimal amounts of alcohol in it.....I'm a little annoyed now. Paranoid part of me says don't do it. The hormonal part me says just drink it, you freak!
I've never had NA wine, but the beer isn't too bad. I mean, it's by no means the same, but it's reasonably close.
Meh. It's negligible. There's a trace amount in OJ supposedly even - I wouldn't worry about it.

yep! smells real...but tastes like grape juice...don't care1 Totally hit the spot!
Me too. I've just wanted a glass of wine all week, DD's been teething and DH's has been working late/out of town so I've been going crazy. I only have a small glass occasionally with a nice meal when I'm pregnant. I just couldn't justify a glass to unwind at the end of the day right now.
Dittos on the N/A beer though. St Pauli Girl is my favorite. I might have to try the N/A Champagne.

I had the Ariel red (Cabernet?) a few weeks ago, it was very forgettable and tasted like grape juice. Too sweet and grapey. It was better than nothing, but I had one glass and it is still in the fridge. Definitely didn't take away my want of real wine!
