64/100

The short take

Unfermented Glera must, water, and a small forced bead. The glass is lightly sweet and otherwise blank. Cold, it is drinkable. It is not a wine that lost its alcohol.

Tasted Karl HillHow we score

Serve Well chilled, flute or wine glass.

Who it’s for A cold glass when a little sweetness and a bead are enough.

In the glass

Nose
Faint, and more juice than wine. A soft grape-must sweetness shows if you look for it. There is no yeast, no lees, and no aroma that holds once the glass is cold.
Palate
Light body, a fine bead, and a sweetness the nutrition panel already measured at 5 g in a 5 fl oz pour. That sweetness is the flavor. The middle does not fill in with fruit, acid, or anything that would have come from a fermentation. It is not syrupy. It is also not dry, and it is not sparkling wine.
Finish
The sweetness goes first, then the bead. What is left is short and clean, with no bitterness and no grape that stays. You notice the absence more than a flavor.

How wine-like is it?

Separate from the score. A convincing resemblance is not a higher rating.

The bottle is prosecco-shaped. The glass tastes like sweetened grape water. The likeness stops there.

The wine

A sparkling grape drink with a small bead, not a wine that lost its alcohol. The nose is faint, and closer to juice than to wine.

The palate is light, with a fine bead and a sweetness that is the flavor. It is not syrupy. It is also not dry, and it is not sparkling wine. Mouthfeel is thin: a small bubble and a soft sweetness that sits on the tongue.

Serve it well chilled, in a flute or a wine glass. Warmer, the sweetness is all there is.

Drink it cold if you want something lightly sweet and quiet. Do not drink it expecting Prosecco. The bottle is that shape. The glass tastes like sweetened grape water, and the likeness stops there. The bead is real. The flavor is the sweetness, and then it is over. Stop there.

64 sits below the median of the 8 alternative wine bottles we've tasted.

Where sources disagree

Sources disagree on the following points.

  • Classification: The product page ingredients are water, organic grape must juice, sulfur dioxide, and carbon dioxide. Organic Wine Exchange states “Alcohol-Free, Not De-Alcoholized” and “crafted without fermentation.” The same brand pages also say the alcohol was “gently removed” and describe a “dealcoholization process.” The ingredient list and the not-de-alcoholized line are the classification. The removal slogan is kept as a conflicting claim, not as the method.
  • ABV: The product-page nutrition line is “Alcohol by volume < 0.50%.” Organic Wine Exchange prints “0.00%” and “Alcohol: 0% Non Alcoholic.” Primal Wine’s spec table says 0.0% and its style line says less than 0.50%. Displayed figure is the nutrition-panel ceiling, <0.5%.
  • Ingredients: drinkgoodtwin.com lists water, organic grape must juice, sulfur dioxide, and carbon dioxide. A process blurb on the same page says “organic grape must, sparkling water, natural flavoring.” Organic Wine Exchange adds tannin as a fifth ingredient. The four-item list is the one repeated on the blanc page and the mixed pack.
  • Origin: The current bottle and the current sheets are Italian Glera from the Veneto (north of Treviso). A Natural Merchants/Matarromera sheet, still online, describes Good Twin as 100% Verdejo from Pozaldez, Valladolid, fermented in stainless steel and then stripped of ethyl alcohol, with residual sugar under 0.5 g/100 ml. An Amazon listing still carries that Verdejo copy and the Spanish sheet’s barcode. That is an earlier liquid, not this Italian must. That barcode is not assigned to the current bottle.
  • Sugar: Current nutrition panel: 5 g total sugars and 0 g added sugar per 5 fl oz. The Matarromera Verdejo sheet’s residual sugar (under 0.5 g/100 ml) belongs to the Spanish wine.
