If you want a good non-alcohol Merlot wine, I can highly recommend to you this wine.

It is FRE's brand of wine and their non-alcohol Merlot is wonderful.

If you like Merlot but don't want the alcohol you can order here https://www.frewines.com/our-wines/merlot/

I can also get it at my local wine store (wine is not sold in supermarkets in CT) but their supply is limited and sometimes they run out.

I guess it is, but the Merlot is outstanding. I don't know what Merlot grapes taste like since I don't think they are CTyankee Aug 19 #4

I have tried several non-alcoholic wines, and quite frankly, plain old grape juice tasted better. I have found a couple of good non-alcoholic sparkling wines (Nosecco Prosecco comes to mind) and quite a few really good non-alcoholic craft beers.

Edited to add: Believe or not, there are actually also non-alcoholic spirits available. I haven't tried them, they are a bit out of my budget at the moment, but I understand some of them are pretty good.

grown here. The FRE Merlot does not taste like grape juice (Welches being the only grape juice I ever drank).
