One of the original non-alcoholic wines coming out of Australia is Plus and Minus Wine.

Plus & Minus is a range of antioxidant rich Australian alcohol free wine, that includes a non-alcoholic Shiraz, Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, Rose and Prosecco. All Plus & Minus Wine delivers a quality synonymous with hand-made wine that has been crafted from premium dry-grown South Australian grapes and traditional winemaking techniques.

Plus and Minus Wine Review

Putting together reviews of the best non-alcoholic wine products is one of my favourite pieces of working on Tipple Zero. Having come from a winemaking background, I love to see what each wine on the market has to offer.

If you’re interested in reading a couple of Plus and Minus Wine review options, you need to check out the recent reviews I have written on the:

The Rose is a light flavoured, light-bodied and mineral profiled non-alcoholic rose option that has main notes of berries and apples and subtle tones of other fruits throughout each glass.

The Shiraz, on the other hand, is also a light take on red wine that presents more like a Pinot Noir given it brings a light body, soft texture and shorter depth of flavour to each glass.

Update: I’ve recently added in the Pinot Grigio review! While the reviews around the Pinot Noir, Sparkling and Prosecco are in the works! I’m always wanting to make sure you get the right steer on what is in each and every bottle so I’m pitching in for a few more bottles to save you buying something you won’t like!

The Wrap Up: Final Thoughts

The Plus and Minus Wine range is one that has a wine for every occasion. While the recent addition of the Prosecco is one that has given it a great boost, the composition of the range will likely see it coming in a close second to the non-alcoholic range from sister brand Funky Monkey which, in my opinion, carries a more authentic and wine like characteristics.
