As always, so much information and education - love the CBM for you and it was a good refresher of what they are about.
Thanks for the addition of alcohol removed wines! I need to look for your other post. Unfortunately for the next few months I need to lay off the alcohol so am trying to find a few things I can drink but still feel like I'm part of the crowd! So far Phony Negroni is the only thing I have found that is close to having a cocktail, and the wines I have tried hit pretty flat.
Thank you, Becky! I hope you're doing well and that these NA options can provide some wine-like options over the next few months. I find the sparkling wines to be the best options overall, but the Paragraph comes as close to wine as I've tasted yet. It's not as satisfying as wine, but it certainly had Tempranillo character (flavors and aromas) and with food in particular was a decent stand-in. I do think the category is going to keep improving. And I think their audience is going to be less non-drinkers and more drinkers looking for NA options for whatever reason - zebra striping, health concerns, nights off, detoxes, etc. I'm optimistic about the category overall!
