When I set out to shop for the best non alcoholic Champagne for this taste test, I couldn’t believe how many options there were at our local liquor stores. When we taste tested non alcoholic white wines, they were much harder to source. Basically, if you’re on the hunt for non alcoholic Champagne or non alcoholic sparkling wine, you might be surprised by the wealth of options. 

That said, not all sparkling non alcoholic wine is good. In fact, some of it just tastes like sparkling grape juice, which is fine, but NA sparkling wine actually tends to be sort of pricey—if you’re okay with drinking sparkling grape juice, you should just buy that. It’s much cheaper! But if you want non alcoholic Champagne that actually tastes like dealcoholized wine—tannins and all—read this list before you do your New Year’s Eve grocery shopping. Here’s the best sparkling non alcoholic wine you can buy, according to two separate Sporked taste tests.

Runner-Up

Be Free Sparkling White

This non alcoholic sparkling wine impressed us in other taste tests, and it held up in this one, too. It’s not as cloying as other NA whites and actually has some nuance. Still, it’s a lot sweeter than the other non alcoholic sparkling wines on this list. You get a fruity, grape-y flavor up front, but it kind of settles on your tongue like a tart cider. Its effervescence fades pretty quickly, but it’s plenty fun and festive for a toast.

Best Buttery

Giesen New Zealand Sparkling Brut

When it comes to the best non alcoholic Champagne, the brut options are much more convincing than the sweet ones. This dealcoholized sparkling wine from New Zealand is bright and tart, with hints of lemon. But there’s more, too. This non alcoholic sparkling wine has a buttery dimension that’s super pleasant. Its tartness settles on your palate, but it gives you something to think about, too. It’s lip-smacking, but it kept me sipping. This would be really good with a rich dessert, like a fruit tart in a super buttery crust.

Best Super Dry

Surely Non Alc. Brut

Surely makes a good-looking bottle of non alcoholic sparkling wine. The label is very Millennial coded, which means it’s going to look nice on the table at a holiday party for you and all your friends who like nice things but will never own homes. The predominant flavor profile is very tart, like unripe grapes, but that tannic nature also makes this NA Champagne nice and bright. This stuff is brut with a capital B—it’s barely sweet, which I personally love. If you want an NA wine that’s sophisticated and drinks almost like a booch, this is really good. To be perfectly honest, I didn’t taste this head to head with our previous number one pick (our local Total Wine was out of the St Regis Brut this year), but let’s just say they’re tied.

Best of the Best

St. Regis Brut

Confession time: I kind of love cheap Champagne. I used to work at a bar that sold bottles of Andre for, like, $5 and you could just hold it while you danced and downed the whole thing. The downside? Feeling like complete ass the next day. That’s where St Regis Brut comes in. This non alcoholic Champagne tastes exactly like a dry, very affordable, boozy Champagne to me. This is the only non alcoholic sparkling wine we tried that I think could actually fool a drinker into thinking it contains alcohol. It’s light and bright and sweet without being too sweet because it’s a little tannic. This is the best non alcoholic Champagne for your holiday toasts—especially if you don’t want to spend New Year’s Day with a cold, damp washcloth draped over your eyes.

About the Author

Gwynedd Stuart

Howdy! I’m Gwynedd, Sporked’s managing editor. I live in Los Angeles and have access to the best tacos the U.S. has to offer—but I’m a sucker for a crunchy Old El Paso taco night every now and then. I’ve been at Sporked since 2022 and I’m still searching frozen mozzarella sticks that can hold a candle to restaurant sticks. Why you should trust me: I’ve been a journalist for 20 years (yikes), a consumer of food for 40-plus years, and I’m truly hard pressed to think of foods I don’t like (or that I can’t tolerate at the very least). Oh and one time I cooked my way through Guy Fieri’s cookbook and wrote about the journey through Flavortown. What I buy every week: Trader Joe’s Original Savory Thins. Fat free plain yogurt (usually Fage or Nancy’s). Honeycrisp apples. Sweet cream coffee creamer for my at-home Americanos. A frozen cauliflower crust pizza and some jarred mushrooms to top it with. Old El Paso Stand ‘N Stuff taco shells and Gardein Ground Be’f, even though I think “be’f” is a nightmarish contraction. Favorite ranking: Stouffer’s frozen dinners. I don’t own a microwave (I get my cancers the old fashioned way!), so I love taste testing things that I don’t really buy to eat at home. Least favorite ranking: Soy sauce. Don’t get me wrong, I love soy sauce—but consuming that much sodium in one sitting is probably illegal in some countries. Our frozen enchilada taste test was a close second; the smell of microwaved corn tortillas still haunts me.
