FRE Wines alcoholremoved

Have any if you ladies tried this wine "nonalcohol" beverage? After doing my research regarding having a glass of wine every now and then I chose to explore this brand. It has 0.05 alcohol which means that it would take 6 bottles to even be equivalent to 1unit of alcohol. Basically if you left orange juice out on the counter overnight and drinked it your consuming 0.05 of alcohol.

The label also reads that it's 31 juice. I chose the Brut Sparkling wine. It's so refreshing! I at least know that if or when I get the notion to have a "drink" I can choose this even after the baby I'll just stick to this!

    The only one that resembles alcohol in taste is the brut. The rest are just expensive grape juice. I'm having a half a glass of wine every other week or so with no shame.

    Yes the brut does and it's wonderful! I may be having some again within a few weeks. I'll have to try the others. I only seen this kind on the shelf from FRE I'll prob order the others.

    Me too. When I want to be more celebratory than a tiny glass, I just go for the sparkling cider or juice. It does not pretend to be something it is not and is still a treat. Also it is cheaper.

    I think I may try this tonight.... I have been having a bad week, and that crazy driver yesterday made it worse.

    Yes go ahead and try it. I happen to call one of the local liquor stores and asked as I didn't want to make a trip for nothing.

    I'm pretty sure this is the brand I tried-and I did not like it.

    It tasted nothing like wine-and I would rather have sparkling juice.

    I tried the red by FRE a while back and didn't care for it, as other PPs said, it's nothing like wine. I sure miss red wine! So far I choose not to take the risk of drinking it since there's not enough research to say whether it's harmful or not even in small amounts. But honestly, I'm so on the fence about it I may end up having a glass or two eventually. Stress is bad for baby, too, right?

    Eh, not really going there. I would rather drink the real thing. I have a glass every now and again with NO regrets! :)

    This is me.  I had a glass (measured out, so it wasn't a ginormous glass) every now and then with DD.  She's fairly advanced for her age and shows no signs of any problems, so what ever I did when pregnant with her, I plan to do this time around.  Although I am careful to drink it on a full stomach and it takes an hour or more to drink that glass.

    I tried a few brands of the free wines.  I'm a heavy, meaty red drinker.  Nothing I found comes close.  The free stuff just tastes like sugar to me; I'd rather have milk.
