Brilliant alternative to alcoholic red wine
For a non alcoholic red wine this hits the spot. Delicious taste without the hangover. Really good in a wine glass can’t tell the difference. Plus it is good in cooking, after all, the alcohol burns off when cooking. This wine wins all round.
Don't waste your money
One star is an over-rating for this prouduct, possibly a good wine vinegar but definitely not for drinking. I drank two mouthfuls and consigned the rest of the glass and bottle to the drains.

Having given up alcohol 11 months ago I used to drink Rawson's Retreat mixed 50% with Eisberg Cabernet Sauvignon 0.0% which was quite drinkable. Now that you have removed both I was pleased when you added Linderman's Cabernet Sauvignon which is the best I have tried. Now you have removed that as well!! I have tried this one and won't be buying it!!
Very tasty, as good as the 'real' thing. Delicious

Great for the price ...
I bought this because Tesco, for some reason, no longer sells the Eisberg cabernet sauvignon - and I thought it was worth a punt at the price, in spite of some of the negative reviews. All I can say is that taste is a very personal thing (I REALLY disliked Rawson's Retreat ...) and I find this very pleasant. If you want something that tastes exactly like red wine, it probably won't suit you, but as a light, grown-up and fairly low calorie soft drink, it's great - especially, as someone else has suggested - if you keep it in the fridge, which adds a nice bite to it and brings out the tannins. It's slightly wine-y, slightly sweet, very fruity and I'm sold on it.
Rubbish attempt at non alcohol wine
Disappointing doesn't cover it. It's not at all spicy, it's just sweet grape juice. Surely you can do better than this.

Best drunk cold
I love wine but you can have too much of a good thing, which is why I drink no or low alcohol wines as well from time to time. I agree with other reviewers who call for Rawson's Retreat to be put back on the shelves. However, this wine is not bad and is my second choice. The secret for me is to keep it in the fridge and drink it cold. This brings out the tannins and adds a definite bite to the drink.
Bring back Rawson's Retreat
I'm with most of the other reviewers in that this product is not a patch on the Rawson's Retreat that has been discontinued in its favour. Tesco's obviously know this and don't want their rubbish own label offering going up against something that is actually very drinkable. Look at the reviews Tesco and if you really want to serve your customers, bring back Rawson's Retreat.
