Product Information

Given the zero alcohol content, the Noughty is perfect with a meal, as an aperitif or to celebrate. Beyond the standard pre-dinner nibbles, the Noughty would pair well with fish and rice dishes. With so many great non-alcoholic sparkling options entering the fold, options like the Vinada Crispy Chardonnay and Airen Gold, Oddbird and Barton & Guest all bring big flavour to the table and maybe ones to consider as well.

The crisp finish really makes this a sparkling that is easy to drink and one that you ‘want’ another glass of. How to Enjoy Non-Alcoholic SparklingThe Noughty Sparkling Wine tastes really similar to champagne! You’re going to find a balanced profile of apple, green melon and fruity notes with a crisp and clean finish. If you love a mouthfeel that is vibrant with carbonation, you’re going to really enjoy the Noughty Sparkling. As it naturally warms in the glass the flavours become a little rounder and it, naturally, loses its sharpness. Just a good excuse to pour it and drink it before too long! As I sit writing this I have another glass of it poured into my Spiegelau champagne glasses which add a little character to the experience with their slightly bowled base and great shape. Using the same grapes as you’d find in regular sparkling wine and made in the same way before being de-alcoholised, you’ll sometimes also find the addition of sparkling teas to help create the authentic tannin effect.

Whether looking for a convincing champagne stand-in, or a “nosecco”, today's non-alcoholic sparklers are often a dead-ringer for the real deal. There are obvious health benefits to avoiding alcohol or reducing your intake, including improved energy levels, better sleep and clearer skin, while non-alcoholic sparkling wine also has fewer calories per glass than a higher ABV alternative. Our panel of WSET trained experts and consumers sipped their way through 44 alcohol-free sparkling wines, to find their favourites. The Thomson and Scott is best enjoyed straight out of the fridge when it is vibrant bead of carbonation and is fresh and crisp. The non-alcoholic market has gone from strength to strength in recent years, with constant innovation meaning that going booze-free is no longer an inferior choice. In fact, the recently launched World Alcohol-Free Awards awarded 25 medals to the AF sparkling wine category, including three gold medals. And according to The Drinks Business, “the best low-and no-alcohol wines (from the event) were sparkling, as the fizz helps to add texture and freshness.”
