The wine
Drink Proxies Inc. sells Big Red as a non-alcoholic wine alternative, and the bottle says Not Wine on the front. Cherry, blackberry, and strawberry concentrates sit with a tea blend and red wine grape concentrate, and wine tannin is on the list. The producer describes the range as a blend of wine grapes, fruit, tea, spices, and botanicals, made to stand in at the table without starting as wine. The bottle is 750 ml. The shop price is $20, against a $30 compare-at. It has not been tasted, and it has no score.

The company line says Crafted for Drink Proxies Inc., Dundas, Ontario, Product of Canada. The producer’s fancy tasting notes on that label name blackberry, cherry, black pepper, and a cigar-box hint, then a herbaceous finish. Those notes are not a Dry Standard tasting.
