Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.With many of us taking on a new challenge in 2023 – whether that be Veganuary, attempting to read more with the help of a book supscription or ramping up your exercise regime – Dry January has been especially popular in recent years, with 130,000 of us taking part in 2022.
While it does involve going alcohol-free throughout the entire month of January, some of us may want to wet our whistle with something alcohol-free that’s akin to our favourite tipple. If that happens to be prosecco, Aldi is selling an alcohol-free sparkling white wine that costs just £2.79.
Riffing off the Italian sparkling wine, Zerosecco is a German vino good enough to land a spot in our round-up of the best non-alcoholic wines for 2023. It contains zero per cent alcohol, would you believe, so you can pop a bottle with friends without stepping on your Dry January goals.
If you prefer something more akin to beer, check out our round-up of the best alcohol-free beers, meanwhile our round-up of the best alcohol-free spirits and non-alcoholic wines also eschew booze – although it is worth noting, to be classed as alcohol-free, tipples need to contain 0.5 per cent ABV or less.
Read on for everything we know about the Zerozecco prosecco and some of the other best non-alcoholic sparkling vinos to tell your friends about this Dry January.
Zerozecco alcohol-free sparkling white, 75cl: £2.79, Aldi.co.uk
Housed in an elegant bottle enclosed with a cork and deluxe gold detailing, Zerosecco is Aldi’s answer to affordable alcohol-free fizz. Costing just £2.79, the prosecco-esque drink is one of the least expensive bottlings we have seen online and, being made with de-alcoholised wine, it is 100 per cent alcohol free.
Dubbed in our best non-alcoholic wines round-up as the best for bubbles on a budget, our tester found it has “an intense, citrus flavour, lively bubbles and a decent acidity that means you won’t feel like you’re glugging a fizzy drink”, the Zerozecco was slightly sweeter than prosecco but paired well with desserts, our tester said.
Community.Co zero alcohol sparkling white NV: £5.49, Virginwines.co.uk
Nabbing top spot in our round-up of the best non-alcoholic wines for 2023, this purse-friendly substitute for prosecco is one to add to your booze-free bucket list. Made with sparkling fermented grape juice and premium green tea, the sparkling white wine offers “a refreshing feel packed with fruity flavours of pear and grape”, our tester praised. It was “one of the driest and most drinkable sparkling wines” they tried.
Belle & Co alcohol-free sparkling rosé: £3, Amazon.co.uk
Also earning a spot in our round-up of the best non-alcoholic wines, this alcohol-free sparkling rosé from Belle & Co is another budget buy at just £3. Made with fermented grape juice and premium green tea, which our tester thought cut “through the sweetness” and added “complexity”, our reviewer described the sparkling rosé fizz as having “red fruit aromas, a surprisingly textured palate and a hint of raspberry in every sip”. Vegan and with no alcohol content, you could easily think this was the “real thing”, they said.
