For Dry January my friend and I took a little field trip to a fun wine shop to check out the selection of non-alcoholic wines. Back in the day she had been a wine rep for this store. We talked to the owner, told him what we were doing, and he recommended either of the wines on the ends of the display.
Just to have fun during Dry January, I've made a few mocktails to replace the ritual of having a glass of wine with dinner. Even though they're just a way to make this alcohol-free challenge more enjoyable, I'm not a big juice drinker, especially with dinner, and that's what the mocktails are - basically a fruit juice blend with a splash of club soda. For me, water or flavored sparkling water is preferable to these these fruit-based drinks. I bought a couple bottles of the non-alcoholic wines and they taste like white grape juice - tasty - and definitely more expensive.
Am I counting the days until February 1? Nope. This has been something new and fun to do with a friend.
I generally find them too sweet for me. I'd stick to water ... or just carry on with my wine!
