Non-alcoholic wines gaining in popularity [View all]

The New York Times has an article on the fast growing popularity of non alcoholic wines. As a former drinker of wine until I had to quit for health reasons, I find this article encouraging and I am taking it to show my wine store. I like the non alcoholic Merlot by F.R.E. but its Pinot Noir just tastes like grape juice.

This is welcome news to those of us who can't drink wine any more but still like the taste of it with food.
