 Topic: Alcohol free wines

Hello ladies,
I bought a non-alcoholic red wine the other day but even though it says its non-alcoholic it contains 0.5% alcohol.
0.5% is really low so you cant get drunk on it - hence its considered non-alcoholic.
does that mean I can't drink it if it contains any traces of alcohol?
p.s. im 20 weeks pregnant

Like Kawwwww said it is up to you. Some women drink like horses throughout there pregnancy and the babies are fine and some only have one drink the entire time and it effect the bub.

Hi Sarahcular, I bought some of that wine last time I was pregnant and to be honest it just tasted like fruit juice to me and wasn't worth the $20 I spent on it (its hard for some of us ladies who love our glass of vino to relax in the evening to go 10 whole months!!)
I think drinking something 0.5% is totally fine but its your own choice, I had a glass of proper wine last time at xmas/new year, but you do feel guilty but its such a personal decision

Hi Sarah, you would think that such a tiny amount of alcohol wouldn't make any difference at all. Thats really wrong that its supposed to be non-alcoholic wine. There should be totally no alcohol.
I agree though, its totally up to you, whether you feel comfortable drinking it or not. If it was me I probably wouldn't have any, but I'm not really a wine drinker

I would drink it, especially since you are well past 14 weeks. But I still wouldn't drink a whole bottle or anything.
I do still have the odd glass of wine (usually only a half) during pregnancy, not often though.

I know a lady that has guiness every fortnight (just a glass) - apparently its got something in it that pregnant women crave.
I would go for it - the only reason they have that tiny little bit of alcohol is because there may be traces that they couldn't fully get out when processing it I guess.

I remember when my ex boyfriend stopped drinking alcohol. He switched to a non-alcoholic beer for a while, then they stated it had 0.5% alcohol. He did some research on it, and apparently the listing of 0.5% or less was just due to new laws. I'd imagine, if it said non-alcoholic, then it would be just that. You could try and ring the company that makes the product, it could be the same thing as above with the beer.
Good luck.
