Non-alcoholic wine Bristol — where to find the good stuff

Non-alcoholic wine Bristol — where to find the good stuff

Looking for non-alcoholic wine in Bristol and feeling a bit underwhelmed by what's on the supermarket shelf? You're not alone. For years the alcohol-free aisle was a sad place — flat grape juice pretending to be Chardonnay, or fizzy stuff that tasted of nothing. The good news is that's changed, and at Natty, our bottle shop in Bedminster, we've watched the low and no scene grow up fast. This is our plain-English guide to what's actually worth drinking, what to grab when you're cutting down rather than cutting out, and how to get it to your door across Bristol next-day.

No lectures, no wine-speak. Just the bottles and bits we'd actually reach for ourselves.

Why non-alcoholic wine has finally got good

The low and no category is one of the fastest-growing corners of UK drinks, and small independent makers have piled in — which is exactly the kind of thing we love. Where the old alcohol-free bottles were an afterthought, the new wave is made with proper care: better base wines, cleverer de-alcoholising, and a focus on getting the taste right rather than just slapping "0.0%" on the label.

That matters whether you're off the booze for the month, driving, pregnant, sober-curious, or just fancy a midweek glass without the fuzzy head in the morning. You shouldn't have to drink something boring just because you're skipping the alcohol. Have a browse through our low and no collection to see what we're stocking right now — it shifts as new makers land.

What we stock at Natty

We keep a tight, hand-picked edit rather than a wall of options, because that's the whole point of Natty — if it's on the shelf, it's because we rated it. Our low and no range sits alongside the rest of the shop, so you can build a mixed order without thinking twice about it.

If you want something properly alcohol-free that still feels like a treat, the Black Lines Shirley Temple is a brilliant shout. It's a ready-to-pour, no-alcohol drink from a Bristol-loved cocktail maker — sweet, sharp and a bit nostalgic, and it looks the part in a glass with ice. Far more fun than another fizzy water. You'll find the rest of the Black Lines range in our cocktails collection too, if other people in the room are still drinking.

Cutting down, not cutting out? Try these lighter bottles

Plenty of people aren't going fully alcohol-free — they just want to go easy. If that's you, a lower-strength, lighter style of wine does the job nicely. You get the ritual and the flavour without committing to a heavy night.

For something fizzy and easy-going, the Session Fizz from Loco Wines is built for exactly this — the name's a clue, it's a lighter, sessionable sparkler you can have a couple of glasses of without it flooring you. The Good Day Pet Nat from Top Cuvée is another easy sipper — cloudy, gently fizzy and very gluggable. Both live in our sparkling wine collection.

If you'd rather a still glass, a crisp white or a chilled light red keeps things gentle. The Rizzling from Loco is fresh and zippy, and our white wine shelf has more in the same vein. For reds, go for something you can chill down — have a read of our chilled red guide over on the Natty blog, then grab a bottle from the red wine collection. New to all this? Our orange wine picks are a fun place to experiment too.

Non-alcoholic cocktails and alternatives

Sometimes a glass of wine isn't the vibe and you want a proper drink in your hand. The Shirley Temple is our go-to alcohol-free pour, but if you're hosting a mixed crowd it's worth having a few ready-to-drink cocktails in too so nobody's stuck. The Aperitivo Spritz and Paloma are bright, refreshing options for the drinkers, while the alcohol-free folks have the Shirley Temple — everyone gets something that looks good and tastes good.

What to snack on while you're at it

A good drink wants a good snack next to it, booze or no booze. We're a bit obsessed with the food side of the shop. Grab a bag of Serious Pig Pickle Crisps or their Sausage Crisps from the crisps collection, or go for the moreish Snacking Pickles if you want something sharp to cut through a sweet alcohol-free drink. There's more in the deli, including the dangerously snackable Chilli Puffs. Sorting a night in is half the fun.
