About this deal

What do 4 generations, over 100 years, and dedication to the lifestyle that comes with making McGuigan wines (and more recently McGuigan zero alcohol wines) in the Hunter Valley get you? Just like the wines produced by the South Australian outfit, McGuigan’s expertise in producing low alcohol and zero alcohol wines has grown and been developed and improved over time. The Zero wines from McGuigan were in development for more than two years before they were launched. This 0% ABV wine is, like all their other 0% wines, made from grapes and uses no artificial sweeteners or additives. The winemakers created this alcohol-free sparkling wine to maintain “strong varietal characteristics” and to keep the flavour profile of the finished AF wine as close to that of the full-strength wine as possible. If you have walked through your local supermarket lately you would have likely come across the McGuigan Zero range living down the drinks aisle. After having tried the range when I first found non alcohol wine, I have recently revised the suite of McGuigan Zero offerings. McGuigan’s ZERO Sparkling wine is made from grapes, like regular wines. The wine is then de-alcoholised using a spinning cone technology. Residual sugars are left in the wine for the flavour, but it’s still only 33 calories per 100 ml. There are no artificial sweeteners or additives in this wine.

There’s definitely still a flavour of the base wine here – in which they have ramped up the flavours to ensure that they remain in this final Mcguigan Alcohol Free Sparkling Wine .

The McGuigan Zero range also includes shiraz, rosé, chardonnay and sauvignon blanc all of which are 0% ABV – that’s right, Mcguigan zero alcohol wine.

McGuigan Zero Shiraz Alcohol Free | Virgin Wines

The McGuigan Zero range of non-alcoholic wine is made by fourth-generation South Australian winemakers McGuigan. The range includes a Zero Sparkling, Zero Rose, Zero Shiraz, Zero Chardonnay; and Zero Sauvignon Blanc. All of which are made with South Australian grown grape varieties. McGuigan produces a 0.5% ABV wine that’s popular in both Australia and Canada, but in the UK to be classed as alcohol-free drinks need to be 0.05% ABV. And so McGuigans decided that they needed to produce a zero per cent wine for the UK market. And here we are, the ZERO range. McGuigan Zero Wines have an ABV of 0.0%. They were designed specifically for the UK market and the UK legislation for alcohol-free definitions.
