The Good Trade editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here.
Our editors have personally tried dozens of non-alcoholic wines — these are my top picks for high-quality ingredients, taste, and functionality.
More and more of my friends are sober curious these days. It turns out you don’t have to be training for a marathon to find yourself wondering about the benefits of less alcohol. Perhaps you’ve had one too many hangovers, you’re trying to spend less money, you’re pregnant or nursing, or your interests have simply changed over time. Most likely, it’s some combination of these factors. Overall, people are trending towards prioritizing their wellness — and we’ll cheers to that! 🥂
Why consider non-alcoholic wine?
Studies say that rethinking your relationship with alcohol can have measurable health benefits like improving sleep quality, insulin sensitivity, and blood pressure numbers, along with helping you lose weight. Another study shows that light and moderate drinking can decrease your risk of depression.
Thankfully, there are a lot of non-alcoholic alternatives on the market now. And we’re so on board — drink rituals make winding down feel more special, and alcohol-free options give you that experience without the downsides. Non-alcoholic wines can even provide you with boosted health benefits due to the inclusion of functional ingredients. Above all, a correctly paired wine can elevate any moment, especially a fabulous meal or snack.
Our methodology & criteria:
The Good Trade was sent a number of non-alcoholic wines for review. I personally tasted and researched each brand, scouring hundreds of customer reviews. And let me tell you: My sober curious friends were thrilled to find out I’d have a ton of leftover NA wine they’d have to help me with. 😊
The majority of brands included have a rosé, so I compared those to even the playing field, but I also took into account the other options offered, too. The criteria for my picks fall into the below categories, and we will continue to update this list with emerging favorites that meet these standards.
- TASTE | I considered how close each alternative tasted to actual wine, how sweet it was, and the complexity of its flavor profile.
- INGREDIENTS | High-quality, traceable, organic ingredients are so important to us, which is why all of these brands have transparent ingredient lists.
- FUNCTIONALITY | Many of the beverages have added functional ingredients like adaptogens to enhance the experience — you’ll find more details about that in the reviews below.

1. Proxies
Best For | Flavor complexity
Price | $159/6-pack
ABV | <0.5%
Sugar | 7 – 11g
Proxies, non-alcoholic wine alternatives, are beloved by chefs and sommeliers for their complexity and food pairing ability. This one came out on top for me because it wasn’t pretending to be wine, but it was still deliciously complex without tasting overpowering. I loved the brand’s Shuru, an aromatic sparkling rosé — it smelled like floral iced tea but had fruity and savory notes. I also tested their Blanc Slate and Red Ember, both punchy and flavorful without the sugar or alcohol. It’s no wonder the brand’s been featured in publications like Bon Appétit and Wine Enthusiast.
Note that like kombucha and some foods containing vanilla extract, Proxies contain trace amounts of alcohol (less than .5%). If you’re looking for a 0.0% ABV option, scroll on!
Customer Review | “Compared to the competition, this is definitely 5 Star. It has much more complexity and depth of flavor than the non-alcohol wines, we’ve tried. Maybe non-alcoholic “wines” of the future, might be just as enjoyable as drinking wine without being wine.” – Sandra W. (Read more reviews.)
2. Töst
Best For | Affordability
Price | $18/2-pack
ABV | 0.0%
Sugar | 10 – 11g
The most budget-friendly option on this list, Töst sparkling refreshers, still packs tons of flavor. The alcohol-free beverage comes in two iterations: The flagship is citrusy and crisply dry, while the rosé has a fruitier, slightly sweeter finish with hints of ginger and elderberry. Their beverages come in 750-milliliter bottles along with two-, six-, and twelve-packs of singles, making these tasty, easy-to-drink refreshers a perfect way to dip your toes into the NA wine world at an approachable price point. And it’s accessible, sold at stores like Walmart, local markets, and wine shops.
Customer Review | “Friends came over for cocktails and brought a bottle of Tost rosé. Was excellent! Have been experimenting with nonalcoholic drinks, and this is the best to date. I’m ordering some immediately.” – Ric G. (Read more reviews.)
3. NON
Best For | Freshly sourced ingredients
Price | $140/6-pack
ABV | 0.0%
Sugar | 4g – 8g
NON’s wine alternatives are so chic, you’ll feel like you’re sipping at a hip new natural wine bar — without the alcohol, of course. Non makes five different flavors that roughly resemble whites, rosés, and reds, but they’re not made to taste exactly like wine. Instead, they’re all made from start to finish at Non’s Australian facility, using fresh produce, sourced directly from farmers, and verjus, the juice of unripened grapes, which adds balance, body, and acidity. I loved the Salted Raspberry & Chamomile, which was honey-ish, savory, herbal, and delicately fruity. I also appreciated how up front the brand was with flavors — each bottle indicates acidity, tannin level, and sweetness, along with perfect pairings.
Customer Review |“My absolute favourite NON! This tastes great with any food and the blush colour from the Raspberries elevates the drinking experience. I love that the NON drinks have no added sugar, colours or artificial flavours.” – C.M. (Read more reviews.)
4. Oddbird
Best For | Organic non-alcoholic wines
Price | $100/5-pack
ABV | <0.5%
Sugar | 4g – 16g
For a special occasion, popping open a bottle of Oddbird’s dealcoholized wine is the perfect choice. The Swedish brand focuses heavily on sourcing traditionally made wines from vineyards around the world, ensuring each batch is aged for 12 months before carefully removing the alcohol. What’s left is a high-quality selection of complex, flavor-packed wines without the intoxicating effects of alcohol. Both of Oddbird’s Blanc de Blancs Non-Alcoholic Sparkling White Wine and Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Rosé are great choices, with the first offering bright tasting notes of green apple, mango, Meyer lemon, and pear, and the latter offering a lovely balance of dry and sweet through the flavors of rose petal, Bing cherry, and soursop. Cheers to that!
Customer Review | “Is there anything better than Odd Bird these days? The Rosé and Blanc de Blancs are the perfect bubbly for any occasion and my personal favorites. Both are rich and complex with flavors anyone can enjoy!” – Chelsea M. (Read more reviews.)
5. Noughty
Best For | Tastes like wine, certified organic
Price | $102/5-pack
ABV | 0.0% – 0.5%
Sugar | 3g – 6g
Rather than a wine alternative, like most options on this list, Noughty is a true dealcoholized wine, so it tastes just like the real thing but with no hangover. Each of its offerings — white, rosé, red, sparkling wine, and sparkling rosé — has been dealcoholized to 0.5% ABV or less. I like the rosé, the flavor profile of which was subtler than the punchier flavors you often find in wine alternatives — because it’s real wine! The B Corp was founded by Amanda Thomson, called one of the “coolest people in food and drink” by Business Insider.
Customer Review | “Served it at my wedding and my guests loved it’” – Wesley O. (Read more reviews.)
6. Saint Viviana
Best For | Low sugar
Price | $44/2-pack
ABV | <0.5%
Sugar | 1g – 2g (0g added sugar)
Ditch the sugar without sacrificing flavor with Saint Viviana’s collection of premium non-alcoholic wines. Made by winemakers and sommeliers in California and the Pacific Northwest, these low-sugar, low-calorie NA wines use minimal ingredients. If you’re on the hunt for medium-bodied cab with hints of plum and vanilla, Saint Viviana’s Cabernet Sauvignon will be your go-to. For those interested in a fresher, lighter taste, the Sauvignon Blanc offers a lively blend of grapefruit, melon, and lemongrass that pairs perfectly with charcuterie. Yum!
Customer Review | “I’ve been trying to like a red zero proof wine for years– and have been disappointed until now. The red Saint Viviana is as close to perfect a zero proof wine can come. The white Saint Viviana shines with vitality and can easily be passed off as the real thing. Thanks Zero Proof for making my dry January possible!” – Laura S. (Read more reviews.)
7. Society De La Rassi
Best For | Champagne alternative
Price | $59/bottle
ABV | 0.5%
Sugar | 1.2 g (0g added sugar)
For a luxurious non-alcoholic wine experience, I suggest picking up a bottle of Society De La Rassi’s Neue Brut Vintage 2023 Sparkling Chardonnay. Favored by the folks at USA Today and Forbes, the packaging of this drink offers “Old-World Elegance,” and what’s inside the bottle is even better. Both crisp yet full-bodied, this non-alcoholic wine has undergone a unique distillation process to achieve a harmonious minerality and acidity. The grapes are also cultivated sustainably and organically from a single fifth-generation vineyard in Alcázar de San Juan, Spain, and are non-GMO. For birthdays, celebrations, or even a night in, this zero-proof bubbly is a treat for special moments.
Our Editor’s Review | “I split a bottle with my pregnant sister for New Year’s Eve, and she was so surprised by how authentic and yummy this tasted! From the elegant bottle to the crisp bubbles, it’s the perfect NA alternative to champagne for parties, dinners, or celebrations.” – Kayti Christian, Senior Content Strategist at The Good Trade
8. Grüvi
Best For | Single serving bottles
Price | Starting at $36/8-pack
ABV | 0.0 – 0.5%
Sugar | 8 – 13g (0g added sugar)
Another beverage reminiscent of real wine, Grüvi’s alcohol-free wines come in convenient ten-ounce bottles with twist-off caps, so while the dry secco pairs well with charcuterie and creamy pasta, it’s just as nice (and convenient) poolside or by the beach. I also tried the rosé, a crisp, fruity, acidic replica of a bubbly rosé. Note that all of the brand’s alcohol-free wines’ sugar is naturally occurring — it’s what would’ve turned into alcohol had the drink fermented. You can also choose from two award-winning alcohol-removed bevvies: A dry red blend and a sangria. And check out their award-winning non-alcoholic beers, too!
Customer Review | “Great taste – I had mine over ice with a tiny splash of club soda and a squeeze of lime and it was the perfect summer drink. Will definitely buy again.” – Stacey A.M. (Read more reviews.)
9. Tomorrow Cellars
Best For | Aged alcohol-removed wines
Price | Starting at $85/3-pack
ABV | <0.5%
Sugar | 4g (0g added sugar)
Tomorrow Cellars is living proof that you don’t have to give up the feel of real wine when choosing a non-alcoholic option. These bottles start as actual wine and are crafted in California using traditional winemaking techniques, before having the alcohol gently removed. The result is delicious NA wines that taste closer to the real thing than most NA options. The lineup includes a crisp Rhône Blanc, a celebratory sparkling Blanc de Rhône, and a rich, full-bodied Red Blend, so there’s something for every mood, meal, and moment. We’re eyeing their Dry January Essentials Pack, which includes a taste of each of their award-winning options. 👀
Customer Review | “I was really impressed by this non-alcoholic wine — it actually tastes like wine, not just grape juice. It has great balance and depth, with enough body to hold up next to a full meal. I’ve tried it with pasta, cheese, and even roasted veggies, and it pairs beautifully every time. Perfect for anyone who wants the full wine experience without the alcohol.” – Emilia (Read more reviews.)
