Go to any bottle shop these days and you’re bound to be greeted by a respectable section devoted to non-alcoholic offerings. But what of wine?

Producers have a range of tricks to draw from to attempt to mimic the bite and body of alcohol. Still wine producers often lean on an acidic, vinegar-like quality to give NA wines a kick.
