Oddbird GSM Non Alcoholic Red Wine, Gluten Free, Non-Alcoholic Dry Red Wine, Zero Proof with Dealcoholized Grapes from South of France, Acidic Earthy Notes with Fruit Touches. 75cl Bottle

I have been sober curious on and off for a few years. I also use to work at a winery. I have tried a bunch of nolow wines and have always been disappointed. This GSM does NOT have a weird aftertaste like some other non-alcoholic wines I’ve tried. The acidity it has makes my mouth water, just like my fav Pinots use to. It also feels like there’s some slight tannins. My husband and i enjoyed this at room temp, which was juicy and bright. We also chilled it in the fridge which was also very yummy, my husband liked it even more when it was chilled.

I am so so so so disappointed to report that this N/A GSM tastes nothing like wine. It has a gorgeous color, but all I'm getting is watered-down vinegar, mushrooms, and beef broth. I have a wine fridge full of GSM, so when I saw this NA version, I became very excited. No such luck. None. None whatsoever. I'm not even sure a sangria recipe could disguise this flavor. I'm hoping the FRE brand will be better (on its way). In the meantime, I'm not sure what to do with the rest of the bottle. ***UPDATE***So, I put the bottle on the back porch overnight, totally ambivalent about freezing temperatures. The next morning (this morning), upon my husband suggesting that maybe it would taste better SUPER cold, he retrieved the bottle. Curiously, this N/A "wine" did not freeze or slush. But the 2 jugs of water placed next to it on the porch, DID freeze. What is in this stuff???

What a joy it is, my brothers and sisters! I have been sober for nearly 8 years and have not had a glass of wine with dinner in all that time. I tried a different NA ‘wine’ a couple years ago and was really bummed when it tasted like garbage took a poop on some crap. But oh sweet, sweet mother of mercy, when I tasted this GSM I nearly cried tears of joy. I can drink a glass of wine again— something I had mourned the impossibility of long, long ago. Thank you Zero Proof! You are making the impossible possible. This wine wasn’t merely passable, it was good. It was great. It tasted like a dream. Thank you Oddbird! You gave this Odd Bird wings for an evening!

I was pleasantly surprised with the flavor. It actually resembles red wine. It is a bit sweet, but does not taste like juice. it also does not taste like vinegar. Yes, it does not taste exactly like the original, but it is pretty good. I would buy it again.

I tried this product to have in lieu of my normal reds. Unfortunately the taste does not live up to expectations. Rather than serve as an alcohol free substitute for a dry red wine it tastes more like grape juice.
