Drink These Excellent Zero-Proof Wines For 2022 Holiday Celebrations

After I was pregnant, I might never have returned to drinking if the zero-proof scene had been anywhere near as robust as it is today. Back then, even at very nice restaurants, nothing that paired well with food but was sans-alcohol was available, so I always wound up with sparkling water.

These days, there are new entries into the NA space pretty much daily, and you can find satisfying versions of everything from beer to a Negroni (I’m looking at you St. Agrestis). Zero-proof wines have made incredible strides over the past year, to the point where it’s not hard to find something to suit every palate and every course of your meal. So here are a few wines that I am enjoying this year.

Joyus Non-Alcoholic Cabernet Sauvignon:

I have sung the praises of the bubbly from this maker before, and they’ve just come out with a Cabernet Sauvignon ($28.99) that is every bit as enjoyable. Toasty and very nicely balanced, with hints of oak and even some tannic structure, this wine will stand up very nicely to a holiday roast or a vegetarian main. I get a lot of blackberry — and a lot of joy out of realizing it’s only 25 calories per glass.
