The Best Non-Alcoholic Wine in 2025: Why Missing Thorn Leads the Way
Non-alcoholic wine is no longer an afterthought. What was once a niche category has become one of the most exciting spaces in alcohol, with wines that deliver on complexity, depth, and delight.
Whether you're exploring mindful drinking, training for a race, expecting a little one, or simply toasting without the buzz, non-alcoholic wine offers the full experience with zero compromise. But what actually makes a non-alcoholic wine great? At Missing Thorn, we believe it starts with intention and ends with a glass that brings people together. Here’s what sets us apart, and why more and more wine lovers are choosing Missing Thorn as the best non-alcoholic wine of 2025.
What Makes a Non-Alcoholic Wine Great?
Non-alcoholic wine is still wine—thoughtfully crafted from real, fermented grapes, just without the alcohol. We start with high-quality fruit and use a gentle dealcoholization process that preserves the structure, flavor, and texture that make wine feel special.
For me, it all begins in the vineyard. I work with high-acid grapes like Albariño to achieve natural brightness and flavor, and I’m careful to remove the alcohol without stripping away what makes the wine compelling in the first place.
As I’m working, I’m always asking myself: Would I drink this with dinner? Would I bring this to a friend’s house? If the answer isn’t a confident yes, I keep refining.
The result is something I’m proud to share—dry, layered, and food-friendly wines that hold their own at the table.
Meet the Wines Behind the Name
Every bottle of Missing Thorn is made to elevate moments. Whether you’re hosting a celebration, savoring a weeknight dinner, or looking for a thoughtful gift, our lineup has something worth sipping.
Missing Thorn’s Signature Red
Full-bodied | Spiced | Complex
A deep purple red wine with a bright magenta rim and bold personality. Aromas of cassis, plum, black tea, and dried raisins evolve into rich flavors of black cherry and earthy black tea on the palate, balanced by the sweet tang of dried fruit. This is a wine that sets the stage for something memorable. I’d describe it as deep and expressive—perfect for slow dinners or quiet evenings.
Missing Thorn Sparkling Rosé
Effervescent | Bright | Balanced
This all-season sparkling rosé bursts with juicy pomegranate seeds and the crisp acidity of tart cranberries. Its vibrant fruit expression is lifted by a hint of biscotti, reminiscent of finer champagnes. A festive, mood-lifting pour for any celebration. You can bring it to parties, pour it with goat cheese, and always keep a bottle cold. I love how fresh and clean it finishes.
Missing Thorn Sparkling White
Elegant | Crisp | Lively
Our sparkling white is a vibrant and all-occasion wine that shines with yellow orchard fruit, lychee, passion fruit, and a whisper of biscotti. Inspired by the elegance of Champagne, this wine adds a touch of sparkle to any moment worth celebrating. I’d say it’s perfect with light fare or whenever you want something that feels joyful.
Missing Thorn White
Tropical | Bright | Sophisticated
A sophisticated white with an aromatic profile of lychee and passionfruit. On the palate, tropical flavors shine, balanced by refreshing lemon zest and grapefruit. The wine’s vibrant, crisp acidity is artfully complemented by the subtle sweetness of honeydew. The finish is clean and refreshing, making every sip a chance to extend the enjoyment and elevate your experience. This wine pairs beautifully with ceviche, shrimp tacos, or grilled vegetables. Refreshing and layered, it hits all the right notes.
Missing Thorn Rosé
Fresh | Fruit-forward | All-day sippable
This well-balanced rosé glows with a pale salmon hue and offers a bouquet of ripe boysenberries, strawberries, and red cherries. On the palate, a juicy combination of watermelon and quince keeps each sip mouthwatering and bright. I find it to be a rosé you can drink all day—fantastic with everything from cheese boards to summer salads.
