Blutul Alcohol Free Vermouth Bianco Herbal Aperitif 75cl

I had to give up alcohol a while ago due to medication for chronic pain and was shocked at the lack of "grown up" non-alcoholic alternatives available. I have never been a heavy drinker but used to enjoy a glass of dry white wine or a glass of red with a meal out or a Campari and soda and an occasional Vermouth on the rocks with a twist of lime as an aperitif or in a tall glass, filled with ice and topped with Fever-Tree naturally light tonic water and squeeze of lime.I have tried the Seedlip range which I found rather unpleasant and very watery (not to mention over priced), particularly the Spice version which, to me, tastes like clove water with way to much clove and I love the flavor of cloves in white sauces and cooked ham. I have also had a little bit of success with non-alcoholic wines (very hit and miss, many are way to sweet and some just taste like watered down grape juice) I know this isn't going to be a popular opinion but if I fancy a glass of wine I now reach for Eisberg Chardonnay (make sure it is ice cold, the difference in taste is amazing) and Rose, the Rose being the closest I have found to an alcoholic wine, both the Chardonnay and the Rose are Dry and crisp with some actual body to to them and a slight evanescence, many of my friends and family have not realised they are drinking non-alcoholic wine (I love to trick them to see if they notice the lack of alcohol and so far none of them have and have been stunned when I've told them).Sorry went off topic there! Back to the Blutul Vermouth, this really is a stunning example of what an alcoholic alternative should be like it smells and tastes exactly like the real thing. Its wonderful neat over ice or with a twist of lime or lemon juice, goes brilliantly with a dry tonic water and as I found out today it also goes wonderfully with Fentimans Rose Lemonade. I'm sure it would also be perfect for Mocktails. I am just about to order the six pack. Give it a try I promise you will not be dissapointed.

Tried to be good but I really didn't like the taste. Very bitter.

good

Bought as an alternative to alcoholic long drink whilst off the booze for a while. Pleasant when mixed with tonic. Not sure this would be my "go to" drink, but nice enough. Not a massive fan of Vermouth anyway, so probably not the best judge of taste but certainly worth trying. Cheaper than some "artisan" type alcohol-free mixers.

One of the (many) most daunting aspects of giving up alcohol is finding something else "adult" I like to drink of an evening when the children have finally gone to bed... I am watching my weight, and find the prospect of drinking diet sodas pretty unappealing (as well as toxic), and I don't particularly like drinking coffee/tea in the evening, hate herbal teas, feel pretty meh about downing tons of water, and find fruit juices too sweet. A wine, a beer, a nice G&T or a vermouth were more my style. I have tried a variety of alcohol beers with some success (most are too sweet - Becks Blue and Brewdog's Nanny State hit the spot), had dreadful experiences of alcohol free wine, and have yet to resort to Seedlip liqueur (too many mixed reviews). This stuff could be the answer though! Just swigged some out of the bottle at work (so classy), and have found to my delight it tastes EXCACTLY like normal Vermouth - so much so, that I have double-checked the label to ensure it really is alcohol free! One happy lady :)

Not a fan of non-alcohol or low alcohol wines etc and since I went dry in November 2027 I haven’t really enjoyed any of the few that I’ve tried. But I’m absolutely loving this option. Unlike other non/alcoholic options, it really does taste very much like the and thing I enjoy it with whichever Fevertree tonic comes to hand, as well as a slice of lime or lemon and ice and it’s a really refreshing drink. I’m about to order a 6 pack - the only six pack i will ever have or see at my time in life now - for the summer! Really would highly recommend!

Having recently become interested in reducing the amount of alcohol I'm drinking, I'm always interested in products like this. It's hard to find good quality alcohol free grown up drinks. This is a really good one. The flavour is closer to alcoholic vermouth than I expected, herbal and complex. It's at the sweeter end of the spectrum. Good enough to drink by itself over ice and delicious with tonic. You might expect to pay less as there's no booze in it, but it's such a good flavour it justifies the price.

My favourite tipple is what I call a Gin & It - equal measures of gin and Cinzano Bianco topped up with slimline tonic. I’m looking to lose weight and also cut out the booze a couple of nights a week and as I write this, I have a non-alcoholic version on the go with this Blutul Bianco, Seedlip Spice and Fevertree Light Aromatic. It’s delicious.
