Best Non-Alcoholic Red Wines of 2025
/
One thing that we get asked about a lot is whether there are any good non-alcoholic red wines. Only a few short years ago, non-alcoholic wines were nowhere near where they are today especially the red styles. In 2025, we've come a long way from glorified grape juice! Here are our top picks for red wines (some new and some old favourites) we love.
*Note: 'alcohol free wine' or 'zero alcohol wine' means 0.0% alcohol - this article covers non-alcoholic dealcoholized wines that are less than 0.5% alcohol.

Our Favourite Non-Alcoholic Red Wines for 2025
1. Zeronimo Leonis Blend
TOP OVERALL PICK OF THE YEAR
This is perhaps the only wine in the world that has redefined what premium non-alcoholic wine means. The winery that produces Leonis Blend is in Austria and makes a 98-point award-winning wine. They’ve made the risky move to dealcoholize it, and according to them, the non-alcoholic version sells just as well as the regular wine. If you appreciate fine wine in ANY way, this is the wine for you. It’s earth-shattering in comparison to anything you’ve tasted in the non-alcoholic red wine category.
Available through Ocean Beach Brands in the U.S. and Sobr Market in Canada.
2. Zeronimo Zweigelt
Best for: Pizza night
Tasting notes:
It’s not a coincidence that the two top non-alcoholic wines in the world are red wines from Zeronimo. They are innovative across all their styles. This is an excellent example of a classic Austrian zweigelt wine, without the alcohol. It has great personality and stands out in the category with notes of leather, and a hint of wood smoke married with lively blackberry and cocoa. As a premium dealcoholized wine it delivers an incredible experience from the first sip to the last!
3. Saint Viviana Cabernet Sauvignon
Best for: Friday night steak dinner
Tasting notes:
The Saint Viviana Cabernet Sauvignon is a sleeper hit. Made in Washington State, this non-alcoholic red has the elusive dryness and tannins that we’re all looking for. It’s got juicy black cherry and current notes with a hint of oakiness. It’s a great non-alcoholic red wine and that’s why it’s number two on our list.
You can find it through The Zero Proof. 15% off with code MAKEITNONALCOHOLIC.
Not available in Canada.
4. Edenvale Tempranillo Cabernet Sauvignon
Best for: The Spanish wine fan
Tasting notes:
If you love old-world dry and tannic red wine, and looking for a non-alcoholic wine alternative, this is going to be a bottle you pick up again and again. It's identical to an old-world traditional wine with dusty leather notes sitting on top of an underbelly of blackberry and vanilla. A tiny hint of black pepper. The mouthfeel is nice and juicy and rich, and there are tannins for miles - which is very rare in dealcoholized wine. This non alcoholic wine will pair well with good quality cheese boards, charcuterie boards, goose pate and tapas plates.

Not available in the U.S. Available in Canada through Sansorium and Dry Variety Drinks.
5. Luminara Napa Valley Red Blend 2019
Best for: Date night!
Tasting notes:
If you’re looking for that special occasion non-alcoholic wine this is the one. The nose on this wine is outrageous for a non-alcoholic red, and on the palette, Luminara non-alcoholic red blend is juicy and spicy, with lots of black cherry notes and a touch of baking spice. There is a nice soft dryness with a slight hint of sun-dried grape that almost drinks like an amarone. Read our full review and tasting notes here. Great with steak or pasta with red sauce.
Available at Total Wine, $19.99 in the U.S. and through some non alcoholic wine retailers in Canada including Pantry Shelf.
6. Lautus Savvy Red
Best for: Cozying up on the couch with a good book
Tasting notes:
Lautus Savvy Red is another hidden gem amongst non alcoholic wines. Just like the Edenvale wine, this dealcoholized wine has tannins, which is a big reason it's a class favourite. Lautus Savvy Red has a perfect balance of dryness and fruit making this an extremely well composed wine. You'll find blackberry, oak and a hint of black currant on the palette, with a nice a balance of fruit and gentle tannins.

Available in the U.S. through The Zero Proof, Better Rhodes, Drink No/Low and most of the many bottle shops.
In Canada, you can find it at most non-alcoholic online retailers. Find the list here.
7. Noughty Rouge
Best for: Serving a party crowd
Tasting notes:
This bottle is a versatile, all-around easy drinking non alcoholic wine and will definitely be a crowd pleaser for both drinkers and non-drinkers alike. It’s got a big, juicy aroma and smells identical to a South African Syrah with some soft spicy notes, dark cherry and fresh grapes. The expression of Syrah definitely shows through in the soft tannins and gentle notes of leather and raisin mixed with perfectly ripe berries. Noughty Rouge drinks like a regular wine in almost every aspect. Check our full review for further tasting notes and what to pair it with.
Available in the U.S. through Boisson and The Zero Proof (use code MAKEITNONALCOHOLIC for 15% OFF).
Available in Canada through DryVariety.com, SoftCrush.ca, UpsideDrinks.ca and most other non-alcoholic drinks retailers online.
8. Be Well Cabernet Sauvignon
Best for: Girls night, movie night, watching the Bachelor/Bachlorette
Tasting notes: [list a few tasting notes]
Be Well Cabernet Sauvignon is an excellent wine for the price point and is probably our favorite bottle of the year. Found at Total Wine across the U.S. this red wine has a flavor profile you'll be obsessed with. It's nicely balanced with notes of dark cherry and red fruit, without being too juicy or ‘grapey’. It’s got just the right amount of everything, including a tiny hit of cocoa powder and black pepper on the finish. It tastes like it's been aged in french oak (but we can't verify that). For a wine with less than 0.5 alcohol in it, it sure tastes like its alcoholic counterparts.
Not available in Canada. Available in the U.S. through Total Wine locations.
9. Joyus Non-Alcoholic Cabernet Sauvignon
Best for: Pasta night
Tasting notes:
This isn’t the best option if you don’t like wines that are on the sweeter side, but it is a well-loved option regardless of that. Joyus Cabernet Sauvignon is a delicious mid-level red that delivers a quaffable taste and experience for lovers of juicy, fruit-forward wines. It pours a deep dark scarlet and on the nose, it’s a juicy whoomph of jammy cassis like a midsummer garden, full of black fruit and candy. The palette is lightly dry and tannic, despite the overblown nose. There is juice here though too, with layers of black currant and a hint of baking vanilla. A slight astringency is nice and helps balance out the fruit.
There’s enough tannins to have a weighty mid-palette, but there’s not a lot of length as expected from a high-end bottle.
Available in Canada through The Sobr Market. Available in the U.S. through drinkjoyus.com.
10. Zeero Sangiovese
Best for: Pasta night
Tasting notes:
If you’re a fan of Italian sangiovese, you’ll enjoy the experience with this wine. While some North Americans have said they find this sour to their palettes, it’s actually a very well-made dupe of the famous Chianti wines. Since their first launch in 2022, they’ve refreshed their formula so it’s a lot more juicy now, with a nice boost of the infamous tart cherry flavour and hints of balsamic and savoury smoke.
You can find this wine in the U.S. and Canada through UpsideDrinks.com.
Where can you buy non-alcoholic red wine?
Non-alcoholic red wines are available everywhere. You can start with your local grocery store, which usually has lower-priced options like Carl Jung or VinZero (both terrible na wines) or Fre wines, which taste ok but are sometimes a sweeter option with higher sugar levels. Most premium non-alcoholic wines are accessed through online retailers. You can find where to buy information in all our non-alcoholic red wine reviews and on our Where To Buy Non-Alcoholic pages (here for Canada and here for the U.S.).
FAQs about Non-Alcoholic Red Wine
Is there a non-alcoholic red wine in a can?
Yes, there are lots of non-alcoholic red wine in single serve cans. Gruvi Red Blend, Sovi and Leitz Eins Zwei Zero Pinot Noir are all available in cans.
Is there a non-alcoholic red wine that tastes like red wine?
Yes, many new alcohol removed red wines taste very similar to their alcoholic counterparts.
Is non-alcoholic red wine just as good for you?
Red wine is not really good for you, despite magazine and media claims. The resveratrol in wine is such a small amount, you would need to drink two bottles to get the same benefits as a handful of grapes. Non-alcoholic red wine has less than .5% alcohol by volume so is a healthier option. The only thing to watch out for is added sugar.
Are there any trace amounts of alcohol in non-alcoholic wine?
Yes, alcohol free wine' or 'zero alcohol wine' means 0.0% alcohol but most non-alcoholic wines are between 0.01 and 0.05% ABV. Even alcohol-free wine can be 0.05%, but those are trace amounts basically undetectable. Wine alternatives that are truly alcohol free often taste like grape juice because there is no solvent to hold the flavour.
What is the best way to store non-alcoholic wine?
Keep non-alcoholic wine in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Once it's been opened, keep it in the fridge for 24 hours. Non alcoholic wine oxidizes quickly so it may not taste the same after 24 hours.
