For an alcohol-free sparkling drink with fresh grape flavour, floral aromas and a lighter palate, our first recommendation is Maison Blue Sparkling White Grape Juice. Maison Blue Sparkling Dark Grape Juice offers a fuller fruit profile with strawberry and lychee notes. Both come from South Eastern Australia and are labelled 0.0% ABV, ready to serve chilled at your next lunch or celebration.

The choice gets easier once you know the style you enjoy. A sparkling grape juice can be appealing for its expressive fruit flavour, while a wine-based sparkling offers a different way to explore acidity, aroma and texture. A blended alternative adds another flavour direction. This shortlist brings together five bottles across four brands sold in Australia, with a role for each at the table.

How we chose these drinks

This is Maison Blue’s shortlist, built around grape character, flavour balance, food pairing and the occasion. Product descriptions draw on producer specifications and tasting notes. The selections cover different preferences, from floral Moscato grape juice to berry-scented rosé, so you can choose by the experience you want in the glass.

1.Maison Blue Sparkling White Grape Juice

Our pick for lighter floral flavour and long lunches

If your ideal sparkling drink starts with fresh fruit and a lifted floral aroma, this is where we suggest beginning. Maison Blue’s white grape juice is made from Moscato grapes, with fresh grape, delicate flower and musk notes. Refreshing acidity gives it a lively edge, while the light mouthfeel keeps the style suited to a relaxed lunch.

Its moderate sweetness is part of its character. Choose it when you want a fruity sparkling drink to enjoy on its own or alongside food, with the grape variety at the centre of the experience. The combination of aroma, acidity and bubbles gives hosts a clear alternative to a plain soft drink when setting an alcohol-free table.

Best for: Seafood lunches, fresh salads and a floral sparkling toast.

Food pairing: Try it with chilled prawns and a green salad. Seafood, salads and desserts are Maison Blue’s suggested pairings; for a lunch menu, the white is an easy place to start.

How to serve: Chill to 6–8°C. Pour into a wine glass so there is room to enjoy the Moscato aromas.

2.Maison Blue Sparkling Dark Grape Juice

Our pick for fuller fruit flavour and celebration tables

For a more expressive fruit profile, choose the dark Moscato version. Maison Blue Sparkling Dark Grape Juice offers strawberry and lychee notes, natural sweetness and fine bubbles. Compared with the lighter floral character of the white, its appeal is the fuller fruit flavour.

It is the bottle we would suggest for guests who gravitate towards aromatic, fruity drinks. Bring it out for a birthday toast, or serve it when dessert arrives and people want something sparkling to keep the occasion going. Offering white and dark together also gives guests a simple choice between two distinct Moscato profiles.

Best for: Fruit-loving guests, birthday gatherings and dessert.

Food pairing: Seafood and desserts are the recommended matches. A bowl of fresh strawberries is a simple serving suggestion for a table where the drink’s berry aromas are part of the appeal.

How to serve: Chill to 4–6°C for the recommended serving temperature.

3.Edenvale Premium Reserve Sparkling Blanc de Blanc

A choice for Australian Chardonnay character

Edenvale offers a wine-based option for people drawn to white peach and citrus. Its Premium Reserve Sparkling Blanc de Blanc is predominantly Chardonnay-based, with apricot, apple and oak notes alongside a fresh palate. The wine is made from South Eastern Australian grapes and has its alcohol removed.

Choose it for a meal where you would normally think about a Chardonnay-based sparkling. Its fruit and oak profile gives you a different flavour direction from Moscato grape juice, especially when planning savoury canapés or a cheese course.

Best for: Aperitifs and seafood starters.

Food pairing: The producer recommends oysters, smoked salmon, creamy cheeses and canapés.

Bottle details: 750ml; less than 0.5% ABV. This is an alcohol-removed wine rather than a 0.0% grape juice.

4.Thomson and Scott Noughty Sparkling Rosé

A choice for berry aromas and a pink sparkling pour

Noughty Sparkling Rosé brings a rosé option to the shortlist. Made from organic Tempranillo grapes grown in La Mancha, Spain, it is vinified before dealcoholisation and lightly carbonated. Thomson & Scott describes freshly picked berry aromas and a balance of sweetness and acidity.

Choose this for a pre-dinner glass or a garden gathering when you want a wine-based sparkling with a rosé colour and berry character. It is a useful alternative for someone whose usual preference is pink sparkling wine. Australian retailers including Sans Drinks list the bottle.

Best for: Rosé drinkers, aperitifs and party nibbles.

Food pairing: The producer suggests aperitifs and party food. Try it alongside a light antipasto platter as a hosting idea.

Bottle details: 750ml; the producer states 0.0% ABV.

5.NON1 Salted Raspberry and Chamomile

A choice for raspberry flavour and a floral finish

NON1 Salted Raspberry & Chamomile brings a blended wine alternative to the shortlist. Raspberries, chamomile, verjus and salt create a sweet-and-salty profile with a floral finish. It is a sparkling drink with 0.0% alcohol, made as a wine alternative rather than by removing alcohol from finished wine.

Choose it if you enjoy berry flavours with a savoury edge. It gives the table a different direction from Moscato grape juice or a de-alcoholised sparkling wine, particularly for brunch or a relaxed dinner.

Best for: Brunch, date nights and berry-led sparkling drinks.

Food pairing: The producer suggests citrus-forward salads, creamy desserts and cured meats.

How to serve: 750ml; 0.0% ABV. Serve chilled at 2–6°C in a wine glass.

How to choose your bottle

Start with the flavours you already enjoy

If floral aromas and fresh grape flavour appeal to you, start with Maison Blue White. For fuller fruit with strawberry and lychee notes, choose Maison Blue Dark. For a wine-based style, consider Edenvale’s peach and oak character or Noughty’s berry-scented rosé. NON1 offers raspberry flavour with a floral, savoury edge. Think about aroma and texture as well as sweetness.

Let the menu help you decide

For a lunch built around seafood and salad, Maison Blue White is our starting recommendation. If dessert is the main event, the fuller fruit of Maison Blue Dark may be the direction you prefer. Edenvale’s suggested cheese and canapé pairings make it another option for savoury starters, while rosé lovers may favour Noughty before dinner.

Chill to the temperature recommended for the bottle

Give the drinks time in the fridge before guests arrive. Maison Blue White is recommended at 6–8°C and Dark at 4–6°C; NON recommends 2–6°C for NON1. Follow each bottle’s guidance, and keep it chilled between pours during an outdoor lunch. A wine glass or flute makes a simple sparkling serve.
