How wine-like is it?
Separate from the score. A convincing resemblance is not a higher rating.
On the wine side of juice: melon and white peach, a faint almond, and enough acid to hold the pear fruit. Medium-light, and short.
The wine
Medium-light pear fruit follows, crisp enough to stay off juice. Short stone fruit at the end. Chill it.
Exact bottle. Karl Hill’s photographs confirm a 94% de-alcoholized grape-wine base, grape juice concentrate, sulfur dioxide and potassium metabisulfite. The label states less than 0.5% alcohol by volume and gives 90 calories, 17 g carbohydrate, 16 g total sugars and 14 g added sugars per 12 fl oz serving. It directs refrigeration after opening and consumption within two days; the photographed best-before date is August 25, 2027. These package facts do not alter the firsthand tasting or 75-point score.

- ABV verified · ABVCorrected from Undeclared to 0.0%. Total Wine product page (Karl direct observation 2026-10-08): Non-alcoholic: Yes, described as alcohol-removed wine, with bottle image displaying ZERO ALCOHOL and a 0% roundel. Label prints 0.0% as the exact residual claim. Caveat: total Wine does not publish a laboratory residual figure — 0.0% is the displayed label claim.
