Review

Thomson and Scott’s Noughty is a full-on marketing creation, melding wine fermented from Spanish Chardonnay grapes with Carl Jung’s pioneering (in 1908) German vaccum dealcolisation process (see our article), generous re-carbonisation and some first rate branding to produce a very decent zero alcohol “wine derived drink”.  It ticks lots of boxes – green credentials, vegan, organic, halal and only 14 calories/100 ml.  It looks great too, opens with a fine pop, fizzes merrily in the glass … but then slightly fizzles out.  Not much nose to savour and a rather watery medium dry taste.   I’m probably being harsh, as most on-line customers report themselves to have been pleasantly satisfied with this drink and Tamlyn Currin, writing on the Jancis Robison website, says “It is, hands down, the best alcohol-free sparkling wine I have ever tasted”.   But for me it’s not quite there as a satisfying 0% ABV sparkling and others have done better (see our 5-star choices).  And at under half the price, Nozeco (which we also rated 4-stars) or any of the supermarkets’ own label versions are strong alternatives.

Makers Notes

Noughty alcohol-free organic vegan sparkling Chardonnay has been dealcoholised to retain the rich flavour of this beautifully crafted bottle. With 2.9g of sugar per 100ml, it’s almost half the sugar content of other non-alcoholic sparkling wine.  And with just 14 calories per glass, it’s the perfect answer to a hangover free celebration.
