Unfortunate choice for the name of that beer. I am surprised they did not change the name during the pandemic.

Stealthy non-alcoholic beer and wine options

Remember how a lot of the nomenclature around the Pandemic did end up shifting during the main 2 years? Variant names, etc? I feel like somewhere there is a lobbyist who managed to get us away from Corona virus and on to calling it Covid at the behest of the beer maker’s top co.
Also, the Xzibit style joy of “having Corona with my Corona” was not lost on me.
Sorry to hear. Definitely running rampant around the UK at the moment, know a load of people that are poorly with some kind of nasty including COVID.
Better open another peroni zero!

I got a Franziskaner Zitrone alcohol free radler laying in the fridge for me to crack open tonight.
Damn, hope you're smooth sailing it. Luckily i dodged it at a party 2 weeks ago. Half of the people there went down with Covid.

Not beer and wine, but I’m a big fan of the st agrestis phony Negroni. Not as good as the real thing, but tastes pretty good, much better than any other zero proof spirits I’ve tried. Pour it in a glass with an orange twist and it looks pretty convincing. Perfect for poker nights 
Ah now this sounds interesting, nice to have an alternative "short" drink that doesn't sit as either coke or pepsi etc. nice suggestion!Not beer and wine, but I’m a big fan of the st agrestis phony Negroni.

Not quite the same (and I do love a phoney Negroni) but this isn’t bad with tonic and ice.Not beer and wine, but I’m a big fan of the st agrestis phony Negroni.

This looks very interesting, given summers now started and the garden beckons! Just noticed there’s two types on Amazon, have you tried both?Not quite the same (and I do love a phone Negroni) but this isn’t bad with tonic and ice.
I’m throwing this question out to the masses, does anyone know of an acceptable (white or red) 0% wine? Those I’ve tried over the years have been nothing like.
I've had a few bottles and to be honest you're better off just having a juice or something. The ones I've tried have been poor
why didnt they just call it Guinn-less ... marketing genius that I am I'm off to patent that name!!!Here is the Guinness Zero from yesterday
I suspect Guinness themselves would block any trademark application for Guinn-less, sadly.
You could set up a factory in China and sell it.
Came across it at Sainsbury’s out in the provinces and was unaware there was more than one rendition!
They are good but they are on the objectively expensive side for what they are, you are forewarned.
If you mix the rosé with cheap bubbles, you will regret it - get the posho sparkling water. Kingsdown is ideal if you can find it and that’s how they served it at a 3 Michelin star venue in London for the better half’s birthday.

Neat, I’ll have to try that
