To kick off a celebration, you usually pop a cork, don't you? 🍾

What if we told you, you can have your sparkling to celebrate AND don't feel the effects of alcohol after the celebrations?
Dr Loosen has created a range of de-alcoholised wines (sparkling and still) for drinkers to enjoy, without feeling the need to miss out.
Dr Lo de-alcoholised Sparkling Riesling has all the notes and character of the alcoholic version, minus the ABV! There's no compromise when it comes to crafting incredible wines: it has just the right amount of fruitiness and the typical acidity of Mosel helps it finish fresh and clean. And that's what makes it a great glass of low-alcohol wine.

We'll raise a glass of Dr Loosen de-alcoholised sparkling Riesling tomorrow to start the beginning of . And you?

Something to keep us cool in this hot July 🫠🍷

July's Wine of the Month features Portugal, Spain and France as the country of choice: a zesty Portuguese white blend from the Douro (yes, the Port region), a Spanish dry white full of tropical fruits and a fruity Cabernet Sauvignon from the South of France for the red wine drinkers.

We know you'll find a new favourite this month πŸ˜‰

How on earth is it July already?! 🀯

It feels like yesterday when we were in January planning for the year ahead... and now we're over half way!
