ChesneyChrist: They keep watering down Stella if that counts?

But to be honest I don't know why people don't just go to the bar and order a chocolate milkshake, something nice.
Indeed. Like in the film The Clockwork Orange.

Youcannow: Tried alcohol free wines & beers but I’ve never heard of alcohol free spirits !
What did you think of the alcohol-free wine?

I tried some 30 years ago and it was like they'd taken grape juice, made it into wine and then converted it back into grape juice with rancid undertones

Youcannow: What would be the point of it ?
The gin I mean , not the joke !
I don't see the point of spirtless spirits either, which is why I was hoping someone had already wasted their money to satisfy my curiosity.

I've just read something online that would suggest most are sickly sweet. Imagine spending twenty-five quid on a glorified Panda pop. talk to hand

Non-Alcohol beer & wine was marketed as an alternative back in the 80s & 90s after the stricter laws on drink/driving came into effect .
I did stock up in my restaurant, but it wasn’t a great hit & just as expensive are the alcoholic alternative.
To be honest , it wasn’t that bad in taste , but never really took of as a commodity .

Yeah, I'm just wondering if they'd improved over the last 30/40 years.

Forty years ago there was one palatable brand of soya milk, but most were vile. Now there are more pleasant plant milks than you can shake a stick at and I haven't stumbled on an unusable one in years.

There are barely more than a page of posts.

Am I detecting a theme in your attitude? hmmm

I have alcohol free wine every time at communion in Church. It's called grape juice. Welch's first made it during prohibition in America. They pasteurized the juice to keep it from fermenting into wine. professor

I'm doubtful about the validity of transubstantiating Welch's grape juice into the blood of Christ.

Just sayin'.
