Non-Alcoholic Juice Tasting

about9mins to read

I cannot drink wine (alcohol), but I want to enjoy something delicious, even if it's a bit pricey. I think about 98% of Japanese people share this sentiment.

So, I tried several types of grape juice (not a metaphor) and related juices, reviewing them on a five-point scale. As a result, I discovered that there are many varieties, and some of them are quite delicious. Maybe I can find a juice that can replace wine?

Note that the review results are subjective, and I tend to highly evaluate sweet juices. If you're interested, please try them yourself.

Red Juice

Siduri Minyar Sparkling Wine Grape Juice

amazon img

  • Evaluation: A
  • Summary: The grape flavor is rich and quite sweet, like a refined Welch's grape juice. The carbonation is strong at first, but it becomes mellow after a few days, making it enjoyable in two ways.
  • Memo: The 750ml bottle is no longer available on Amazon, and only the 375ml set is available.

Kello Sparkling Fruit Juice Red Grape

amazon img

  • Evaluation: S
  • Summary: The balance of sweetness and grape acidity is perfect. It's similar to Siduri, but I prefer this one.

Seijo Ishii Chamei Sparkling Red Grape

amazon img

  • Evaluation: C
  • Summary: It's very sweet, with a strong grape flavor, but it's a bit monotonous.

Pure Pom Sparkling Grape Juice (Red)

amazon img

  • Evaluation: A
  • Summary: It's sweet, but it brings out the sweetness of grapes. If it were a bit more refined, it would be even better. It's a great sweet grape juice.

Alps Shinshu Concord Straight Juice

amazon img

  • Evaluation: C
  • Summary: It has a strong 100% grape juice feel, but it's a bit watery and lacks sweetness. It might be good for grape lovers.

Duc de Montagny Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Rosé

amazon img

  • Evaluation: D
  • Summary: It has a strong champagne-like flavor, which I don't like. If you like champagne but can't drink alcohol, this might be good.

White Juice

Pure Pom Sparkling White Grape

amazon img

  • Evaluation: B
  • Summary: It's similar to Kello. Maybe this is what good white grape juice tastes like.

Alan Millia Sauvignon Blanc

amazon img

  • Evaluation: A
  • Summary: It's rich, but the aftertaste is relatively refreshing. It doesn't have a strong raw grape flavor, so it's recommended for those who want a refined sweet juice.

Juices Other Than Grape

Seijo Ishii Chamei Sparkling Apple Juice

amazon img

  • Evaluation: B
  • Summary: It tastes like biting into a fresh apple. It's refreshing and not too sweet or sour, but the skin flavor is not my favorite.

Kello Sparkling Fruit Juice Apple

amazon img

  • Evaluation: B
  • Summary: It has a subtle acidity and sweetness. It has a unique flavor, so opinions may vary. Personally, I wish it had a bit more grape flavor.

Aureli Carrot Juice

amazon img

  • Evaluation: D
  • Summary: It's just like eating raw carrots. I didn't realize I didn't like carrots, so I don't know why I bought it. Carrot lovers might have the opposite opinion.

Shiny Sparkling Apple

amazon img

  • Evaluation: A
  • Summary: It's refreshing and smooth, with weak carbonation and no unpleasant aftertaste. It's well-balanced and about twice the price of canned juice.

Conclusion

I found that there are many types of juices out there. Even those who can't drink alcohol can find their favorite drink and enjoy the feeling of being a wine lover.
