    Sweet and delicious

    The Giesen riesling is so light and refreshing. It has a perfect balance of sweetness and fruit. I chilled it in the fridge before hand. I would have no idea this was non alcoholic! It tastes almost identical to the alcoholic version. I would definitely have this again. Its great to have the flavour without the hangover! Product gifted by PSalcoholfree

    Its missing the alcohol

    Its missing the bubbly. Its missing the alcohol. Dont get me wrong, it taste nice but not great. I drank it chilled, but there wasnt any bubbly. No fizz. It was like drinking juice. It isnt too sweet. This is not the best dealcoholized wine that I have had. Would I buy it again? Probably not.

    Impressed!!

    I wasn’t sure what to expect with a 0% Riesling, but wow this one really impressed me. It still has that crisp, fruity balance I love in a good white wine, with notes of green apple and citrus that make it feel light and refreshing. It’s not overly sweet, which I appreciate, and it actually feels like wine, not juice. I’ve been enjoying it chilled in the evenings when I want something relaxing but alcohol-free. Definitely one I’ll be restocking!

    Crisp and delicious!

    First impressions: it actually looks like a proper wine bottle, complete with a simple, elegant label. There’s a satisfying snap when you open it, and the pale golden colour instantly reminded me of one of my all-time favorites, Casal Garcia.

    Taste-wise, it definitely doesn’t taste like traditional wine — but honestly, that’s not a knock against it. It’s more like a slightly less sweet grape juice with floral aromas, a hint of lime, and a touch of elderflower that explains the gentle sweetness.

    I’d definitely reach for this bottle if I had a guest who’s dry but still wants a glass in hand for a social occasion. At around $20, it’s pricier than my usual vino, but well worth it if you’re looking to stay away from alcohol without feeling left out. Overall, a solid de-alcoholized wine that I’d happily keep on hand for friends or a low-key night in 🍷✨

    Taste just like the alcoholic version

    Great alternative to the alcoholic version as it taste just like white wine. Great for gifts and for those who wants to stay sober. First sip tastes just as delicious

    My new favourite Riesling

    Love from the first sip. Beautiful colour and surprisingly good taste. It’s on the sweet side but it didn’t bother me at all . I didn’t expect to be so close the the alcohol one. Great addition to the alcohol free gatherings.

    I Loved It!

    I really enjoyed the Giesen Riesling! It has such a refreshing and vibrant taste, with aromas of lime, citrus blossom, and elderflower that instantly draw you in. On the palate, you get those classic Riesling notes of zesty lime, ripe mandarin, and a touch of sweetness balanced perfectly with crisp acidity.

    Better Than the Usual NA Wine: Clean, Bright, Real

    Thank you Pantry Shelf for the opportunity to review “Giesen 0% Riesling” for free in exchange for my honest opinion. Giesen 0% Riesling is actually one of the better alcohol-free wines I’ve tried. It still tastes like real Riesling, aromatic, fresh, and citrusy, not like grape juice like many non-alcoholic wines on the market. You still get lime and mandarin notes, but it’s not overly sweet and it stays really balanced with the acidity. I paired it with pickles, walnuts, and naan with a gyro-style filling, and it surprisingly worked really well. The salty pickles and nuts cut the sweetness, and the acidity in the wine made everything feel lighter. Overall, this is a great alcohol-free option if you want something that still tastes like actual wine.

    Amazing Alternative to Riesling

    I recently received a bottle of Giesen 0% New Zealand Riesling that was gifted to me by PSAlocholFree to try, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much it tastes like regular wine, despite having no alcohol. The aromatic expressiveness really stood out, offering refreshing notes of lime, citrus blossom, and elderflower. The palate is vibrant, with layers of zesty lime, ripe mandarin, and a subtle delightful sweetness balanced by crisp acidity.
    I enjoyed sipping this with friends and family, and it was a great option when I wanted all the flavor of wine without the aftereffects. I paired it with a fresh fruit salad, and the combination was delightful! This Riesling is also a great match for citrus ceviche with avocado.
    Overall, Giesen 0% retains all the exceptional qualities of a classic Riesling, full of lively aroma and flavor, but alcohol-free. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a satisfying wine experience minus the alcohol.

    Perfect wine alternative

    Absolutely love this wine alternative. Came in super handy for the periods in my life when I couldn’t drink alcohol. This was absolutely delicious and hit exactly the same.
