CODORNIU ZERO SPARKLING ROSÉ, Spanien (ALKOHOLFREI)

The red fruit and cherry notes really come through on the nose and palate, and the finish has that same dry, crisp quality as a proper sparkling wine. We served it at a baby shower and nobody guessed it was alcohol-free until we told them.

I was genuinely skeptical that a dealcoholized sparkling wine could taste this good, but the strawberry and cherry aromas really do come through. Sipped it chilled on a weeknight with dinner and honestly didn't miss the alcohol one bit.

I was pleasantly surprised by how well this holds the cherry and strawberry notes without any of that syrupy sweetness you get from some dealcoholized wines. It’s a bit lighter on the finish than I’d like, but perfect for brunch or a midday toast.
