There are many moments in life that call for a celebration and with that often comes a bottle of something sparkling to toast such a special occasion. If you don’t drink alcohol or are keen to cut down, it can sometimes feel like an issue when it comes to enjoying a toast, however, with the rise in the sober-curious and the number of teetotallers increasing and pushing for a demand in alcohol-free options, this need no longer be a problem.

Whether it’s for health, religious, or personal reasons, the ‘sober-curious’ movement has taken the UK by storm. Gone are the days when teetotallers were limited to flat, uninspiring soft drinks – today, the marketplace is brimming with sophisticated non-alcoholic alternatives, with none more impressive than the new wave of 0% sparkling wines.

Sparkling wine is inextricably linked with celebration and indulgence; the bubbly, complex flavours and luxurious mouthfeel have long made it a firm favourite for marking special occasions. However, with many people avoiding alcohol altogether, whether for dietary restrictions, recovery from addiction, or simply a desire to live a healthier lifestyle, what’s the alternative? Thankfully, innovative producers have stepped up to the plate, crafting 0% sparkling wines that capture all the magic of the real thing, minus the booze.

Here are five of the best alcohol-free sparkling wines on the market right now:

Codorníu 0.0% Alcohol-Free Sparkling Wine

Hailing from Spain, this alcohol-free sparkler from the historic Codorníu winery is an excellent alternative to traditional champagne. Made using the same traditional method as its boozy counterpart, it boasts a fine, persistent mousse and delicate flavours of green apple, lemon, and freshly baked bread. Crisp and refreshing, it’s the perfect pick-me-up for teetotallers.

Noughty Alcohol-Free Sparkling Chardonnay

Produced in the UK by Thomson and Scott, Noughty is a sophisticated 0% chardonnay that really delivers on the champagne experience. Crafted using high-quality chardonnay grapes, it has a delicate floral aroma, creamy mouthfeel, and citrusy flavour profile that evokes the real deal. Despite the absence of alcohol, it still manages to capture that celebratory fizz.

Juzd Alcohol-Free Sparkling Wine

Juzd is a relative newcomer to the non-alcoholic drinks scene, but this Spanish sparkling wine is already earning rave reviews. Bright, elegant, and packed with flavour, it offers notes of green apple, lemon zest, and a subtle minerality that makes it remarkably champagne-like. The fine, persistent bubbles add to the luxurious mouthfeel.

Töst Alcohol-Free Sparkling White Drink

While not technically a champagne, Töst is a wonderfully sophisticated alcohol-free alternative. Blending white tea, white cranberry juice, and ginger, it has a beautifully balanced flavour profile that’s both refreshing and indulgent. The fine bubbles and dry finish make it an excellent choice for special occasions when you want to avoid the alcohol, but still have a flavourful drink in hand.
