![]() ![]() I found it nice that I could just crack one bottle for a N/A glass with dinner, without feeling the pressure that comes with opening a bottle of traditional wine and needing to finish it within a few days. The drink is a bit of an investment - one box will run you $48.50 plus $6.50 shipping - but you're actually getting 9 small bottles (30ml) in a box. Made from apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and a bunch of berries (11g sugar per bottle), this cordiality was formulated to be paired with food, and it does indeed play off the culinary flavors of wine-pairing favorites like steak and homemade meatballs. You're intended to mix the cordiality with sparkling or still water to a dilution of your liking, and I found, when mixed with soda water, it's like having a lovely, slightly chilled red with just enough effervescence to perk the drink up and really make the flavors pop around your mouth. But the red wine mimic, Jukes 6, has a deep, slightly fruity, mostly spicy taste with a subtle earthiness that gives it that true wine feel. I was less of a fan of the white mimic (Jukes 1), which was a bit peachy for my taste. Jukes Cordiality was created by British award-winning wine writer and wine taster, Matthew Jukes, to mirror the depth, taste, and ability to enhance the flavor of food as wine, but without the alcohol. ![]() As a dedicated red wine lover (and a harsh critic), I was surprised when Jukes 6 easily became one of the best non-alcoholic drinks I tested. ![]()
