Went into our local liquor store, looking for some non alcoholic wine

[a kennedy]

and to my surprise, way in the back of this huge liquor store, were two shelves of non alcoholic wine . Two brands, Fre and Ariel. What the hell?? only two brands of non alcoholic wine. Couldn’t believe it. Gave up alcohol for lent.

1. Did you run into Steve Bannon

Just asking rumor is he likes to drink

[mama]

2. I didn't know such a thing existed

Is there something that tastes like a Chardonnay?

I gave up white wine for Lent, because that's my weakness. I allow myself red, but that's not something I really have often anyhow.

[Docreed2003]

4. Both of those brands make a Chardonnay

Ariel we find to have a better taste, but that’s just us.

3. Isn't that called Welch's

And found in your grocery store?

[Phentex]

8. Ha Ha!

This reminds me of the time my friend and I went into a doughnut shop and asked for sugar free doughnuts. And my friend was aggravated when they said they had not made any.

11. Not sure of the brand but there are fizzy grape juices

Usually available around the holiday season for those who don't drink alcohol but do want to toast along with everyone else.

I've seen (and bought) them in both "red" and white. Aha! They are Welch's!



They even have Star Wars versions:

5. Easter can't arrive soon enough, huh?

I've found non-alcoholic wines and even "champagne" in larger supermarkets. They're not bad.

O'Douls makes an amber NA beer that's pretty good, too, although I prefer St. Pauli Girl NA.

9. Love O'Douls amber, not quite up to my favorite Alaskan Amber, but close.....

and OMGosh, how long until Easter?? ha ha, I might even start back to my favorite libation on Good Friday, or is that cheating??

17. Better yet, have it delivered

6. Whining about wine ?

Non-alcoholic wine = grape juice, or sparkling apple cider.

[a kennedy]

10. Sad isn't it?? whining about wine.

[vlyons]

7. Sparling apple juice is a nice non-alcohol substitute for champaign

Martinelli brand. Very cheap and found in most grocery stores in the fruit juice section. Get 2 bottles.

12. I'm ashamed to admit that I've never heard of "non alcoholic wine"

(The last time I went into a liquor store was when Jimmy Carter was president, and I doubt they had "non alcoholic wine" then)

Cheers!

14. Ironically, the only thing I would ever be likely to buy in a liquor store is wine-free alcohol.

15. I imagine there are a lot of people who gave up Lent for alcohol. n/t

[Major Nikon]

16. I gave up Lent for Lent

[a kennedy]

18. Now here's what I'm talking about, this is a non-alcoholic beverage store:

19. Yes.......Stephen Colbert gave up alcohol for lent also!!!!!!

20. I always drink it after eating my fake meat and smoking my e-cigarettes...

...just before I go and immerse myself in virtual reality...
