Great piece, Liz! I love the analogy here with Coke. Why are so many wine-lifers bullish about non-alc not being "real wine?" What you wrote is true, it's not the alcohol that makes wine, wine. Its personality has nothing to do with the booze (much like me I've learned!) so it gets confusing as to what these folks are defending.
Thanks, Kristen! Using examples not directly related to booze will hopefully make the conversation less scary and thus less to defend against, right?! I want to see wine thrive and folks who’ve had to or chosen to give up alcohol not give up the beverage they enjoy. De-alc wine offers that up in a win-win fashion ♥️
