The wine is made first, then the alcohol is gently removed before it is bottled with its bubbles. That keeps more wine character than a grape juice drink, while bringing the strength down to under 0.5%. It is labelled South Eastern Australia and comes under cork like a regular sparkling wine, so it looks the part on the table.

Edenvale describes a subtle, fragrant nose of ripe apple, soft tropical fruit and citrus, with fresh fruit flavour and zesty acidity on the palate.

Who it suits: hosts who want a sparkling option for guests skipping alcohol, anyone cutting back, and people who prefer a wine-style drink to soft drinks. Compared with sweet sparkling grape juice it is lighter and crisper. Edenvale also makes alcohol-removed sparkling rosé and still wines if you want to build a full low-alcohol range.

Keep it in the fridge and serve cold in a flute. It works for brunch, toasts and spritzes, and goes well with prawns, crab, grilled white fish or a summer salad. Like most sparkling, it tastes freshest on the day; once open, reseal with a stopper and finish it within a day or so.
