Drinking and pregnancy

I’ve lost count of how many times the guidelines on drinking alcohol whilst pregnant changes. The good news is that you can have all of the taste of your usual wine without the alcohol!

Fancy a ruby rich Cabernet Sauvignon, a fresh aromatic Riesling or a smooth Chardonnay but want to cut back on the alcoholic units? Simply switch your usual bottle of wine for Eisberg non alcoholic wine and experience the real taste of wine, without the alcohol and with only a third of the calories.

Eisberg alcohol free wine is made in exactly the same way as your favourite wine, but with one difference.  At the end of the process the alcohol is gently removed using one of the world’s most advanced processes, leaving all of the flavours of the wine, but none of the alcohol. There are four varietals in the range: A refreshingly aromatic Riesling, a creamy crisp Chardonnay, a juicy succulent Rosé and a fruity red Cabernet Sauvignon.

We were sent a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon to try for ourselves. It smelled and looked like a normal glass of wine and the taste wasn’t too different either. It felt quite strange drinking wine with dinner, as I haven’t for so long, but also quite nice. I really miss the things I know I shouldn’t have when pregnant, like runny eggs, pate and liver, so it is great that non-alcoholic wines exist so I can have a drink without the risks.

 

The full range is available at Morrisons, and selected wines are available at Tesco, Waitrose, Co-op, Booths and Bargain Booze, priced at RRP £3.20-£3.60.

    I tried this approach whilst pregnant with BabyMibs………and felt tiddly anyway!
    Might have been the association with wine or the hormones but was very pleasant nonetheless!
    It’s nice to be able to sit back and relax of an evening with a glass of vino, and being able to enjoy that same relaxing feeling in a safe non-alcoholic way is fantastic!

    I always found I went off drinking when pregnant so it was easy for me but women should try not to drink
