Review

I wonder how long it will be before drink makers realise that making zero (or 0.5%) ABV drinks out of real wines is a complete waste of everyone’s time?

This drink fully demonstrates that point.  Our tasting panel liked or disliked it to varying degrees but was united in saying that they could detect nothing in it to suggest that it had ever once been a Riesling wine.  The makers claim that a “gentle vacuum distillation has been used, in order to preserve the natural Riesling flavours”.  But in reality the process had completely eliminated any aromas or flavours that might have revealed its heritage.  Instead we get a watery, rather acidic, grape juice that if well chilled can be refreshing.  But so can many other drinks.

I truly recommend that if you want a no-alcohol alternative to wine, then don’t start from wine.  There are plenty of delightful real no-alcohol drinks to enjoy – see our Guide “Great Zero ABV Drinks for Wine Drinkers”.

Makers Notes

The Leitz Eins-Zwei-Zero offers an original character that is clean and fresh with notes of lime and citrus; surprisingly rhubarb and a little hint of red apples on an underlying mineral base. The finish is dry and relatively long. Of course, an alcohol-free wine never will give the same depth, structure and weight as a wine with alcohol, but this is extremely close to it and it is simply an alcohol-free wine tasting wine.
