Never more so than during Dry January or indeed, “try” January, as it has been dubbed for 2021 do I feel the full magnitude of the sheer abundance of this emerging category. And while the beer and spirits are plentiful, the absence of low- and no-ABV wines in an otherwise flooded market is still noticeable. So, I asked a handful of prominent sommeliers in the United States and the United Kingdom which no- or low-ABV wines they’d like to put on their lists. Reader: They couldn’t name a single one.
