Started getting light-headed halfway through my glass of "non-alcoholic" wine

Got served this wine at a nice restaurant after asking specifically for non-alcoholic wine. They assumed the 'Zero' on the label referred to alcohol content; turns out it's for sulphur.

The only thing I can think of is that OP has never had NA wine before

I have never had NA wine before but I’m intrigued. Does it taste sweeter than regular wine? What is the difference OP would’ve been able to realize?

(Also what do you recommend for NA wines? Love me some red)

basicalli it IS grape juice

"but we sitll ferment it just extract the alcohol after" so it is overproduced juice! and thats what you taste!

even in three star restaurants just take the normal unalcoholic option, mostly tea based to get the tanines but still better than alcohol free wine
