Non-Alcoholic Wine - Heresy or Hero?

Some people say non-alcoholic wine is a contradiction in terms, a blasphemous notion (or just plain disgusting). Others say the world has changed and it could be the saving of wine. 

In this episode, which may ruffle a few feathers, and for which we tested more than 100 bottles (at least one over £100), we ask: is non-alcoholic wine any good? Is it worth our while? Does it taste like wine? Should it even be classed as, ‘wine’? Who’s buying it? And what does the future hold?!

Spoiler alert: we don't see eye to eye on this one. 

Joining us are leading figures in the world of non-alc wine: Maggie and Rodolphe Frerejean-Taittinger (French Bloom), Will Willis (Zeno) and Paul Beavis (Wild Idol). 

Along the way, we touch on ducks, Dragon's Den, religion, book-ending, April fools, cauliflower noses, bubbles, secret yeasts, gas and air, and zebra striping.
