My wife is a huge wine fan and is now pregnant. Are any of the non-alcholic wine drinkable.

I haven't had any that were any good (or the de-alcoholized beers for that matter).

Ditto. I'd much rather drink San Pelligrino.

Navarro Vineyards makes Gewurztraminer and Pinot Noir juices that are astonishingly tasty and high quality. You can order them online from the vineyard directly Navarro Vineyards and they are really good.

If Katie is speaking of a wine I had with her at a past Studio Kitchen dinner (last Fall I believe?), then she speaks the truth. The non-alcoholic wine I had was excellent, quite sweet, and packed full of flavor and fruit. I would recommend it as well.

For those all of you who stack or collect wines in the cellar, please read today,s wall street journal. Buy what you are going to drink today !

My question is, should I collect more or should I finish what I have in my basement.
I have a bigger collection of reds than whites, some Bordeauxs (Spell?)

Fun

The Zest of the article, quote " Our advice to people who want to start a big, serious collection is simple: Relax"

Buy what you are going to drink. They majority of wine in America - estimates range from 70% to 90% is consumed with in 24 hours of purchase. If there was anything there, they simply bought faste than they could drink.
Hope you can find that article.

This WSJ article is the subject of ridicule on more than one bulletin board. I would suggest being careful in following the contents of this article.

The current statistic for time between purchase and consumption is 4 hours.

Thanks Katie. I ordered both of them.

Does this take into account Restaurants or merely Wine Store purchases?

Cool! Let me know how they go over after they arrive. Certainly they can function as "wine methadone" for the mother-to-be, and they actually taste like wine, or at least like incredibly high quality grape juice, rather than like "de-alcoholized" wine, if you follow my analogy here.

Cheers and enjoy!

Kenny:

Delighted I could help. I'm sure the special effort is appreciated and now I raise a (non-alcoholic) toast to you, the mother-to-be and the baby's good health!

Salut!
