I tried the Kylie prosecco, it was ok but a bit too sweet for me. Too much like Schloer really. The 0% Corona's are nice with a lime wedge, I can't tell the difference to that and the alcoholic version

I agree about the corona.

I’ve drunk all those cocktails . 🫠

I don’t like any of the wines or prosecco-a-likes I’ve tried and don’t see the point really.

But low or no lager/beers are great now, and pre sobriety I was a very enthusiastic pint drinker.

My current top five are:

- Ghost Ship 0.5% nice and complex and ‘chewy’ flavour
- Anything by Big Drop, esp the Citra. Went through a phase of buying big mixed boxes of their lagers online.
- Lucky Saint 0.5% Hazy IPA
- Beavertown Lazercrush 0.3%
- Brooklyn Special Effects

Small Beer low alcohol IPA is nice too.

The OH doesn’t drink either (but isn’t as sensitive as me so can cope with the 0.5% ones). She loves Lucky Saint and Ghost Ship. She also really likes the Guinness. We were out a few months ago and only one person (other than her) could tell the difference between the AF Guinness and the normal one that the others were drinking.

There are loads of new things on Ocado. I’ve just ordered a Bud Lime, a pack of Mojito and Margarita cans and a Virgin Mary.

Just wanted to add my thoughts (and a warning!)

Corona AF beer is bloody amazing! Tastes exactly like the alcohol version.

Dead fingers AF spiced rum also tastes like the original version and both mixed with Fanta orange are 👌🏻👌🏻

My warning- do not buy Not Guilty Pinot Grigio ( Asda sell it). It tastes and smells bizarrely like gravy 🤢🤢 it was vile! I love a glass of wine when cooking so am desperate for a good AF white wine but been unable to find one 🫤

I think proper red or white wine are the holy grail tbh. Rose and fizzy rose can easy be downed on a warm night and it doesn’t matter.

Those crisp whites and deep reds, I think it’s going to take a while, a lot of research and money to get them right. We’ll then be paying for them.

I bought a McGuigans de-alcoholised white wine, on a recommendation, and it was genuinely awful. Almost enough to make me
go back to proper wine.
 
I’ve just bought a 0% pina colada tin from Marks. Will report back 😃

The other 0% in the range was an Aperitivo. My store is small though so they probably have more in the bigger ones.
