Those are in a row btw, and not counting the one 12 years ago when I was on heavy duty antibiotics 😁

    I don’t drink alcohol and my old boss knew that so he giftet me an expensive bottle of alcohol free sparkling Wine. Let me tell you it tasted like vinegar with bubbles.

      So just like some expensive wines WITH alcohol lol.

      Any sommelier worth their salt will tell you that it’s not the price tag, and that, while fewer due to the relative scarcity overall, there are perfectly good alcohol free versions of probably any kind of wine.

      Personally I was never big fan of wine myself, even back when I drank, except for champagne sometimes. I remember the black Freixenet being delicious in spite of being relatively cheap and this one is a passable alcohol free alternative at a similar price 🙂

        I’m going to be on the lookout for this brand. It seems you have some familiarity to them?

    Any Alcathons in your area?

    I’m in NYC and there are at least two big sober dances I know of.

      Nah, I usually just celebrate new year’s with my partner. I prefer that to parties, alcohol or not.

      Thanks for the suggestion, though 🙂

    I have friends who don’t drink. I usually get them sparkling apple or pear juice. It comes in bottles that look like sparkling wine. It’s always popular and they never like the NA wine that costs a lot more.
