Call it sober curious, call it consciously sober, call it "just cutting back"—no matter the reason, there's no denying that choosing not to drink alcohol has become more common and more accepted than ever. Maybe that's because the options for delicious, alcohol-free substitutes for much-loved wine, spirits, and beer are better and more accessible thanks to a process called dealcoholization that takes the booze out without losing the flavor.
(Note: non-alcoholic and alcohol-removed wines can legally contain as much as 0.5% alcohol by volume, per the FDA. Though extremely low, for those looking to completely eliminate all traces of alcohol from their routine, make sure to double-check the label for the term "alcohol-free" which denotes the product has no detectable levels of alcohol.)
If you're looking for a ABV-free sip to add to your rotation—whether you're full-time sober, aiming for moderation, or looking for an inclusive solution for your next party—we've rounded up some of the best non-alcoholic wines to make sure no one is missing out on the celebration.

Rather than removing the alcohol from traditional wine, these "proxies" evoke the idea of wine using juices, teas, spices, bitters, and more to create delicious sips that pair perfectly with food. Bonus: they even have a subscription box option so you can have all of the wine club fun, minus the buzz.

Teetotalers can still enjoy bubbles. This organic, vegan bottle is a bright and refreshing choice (it's got about half as much sugar as most NA sparklers) when the situation calls for sparkling wine but not alcohol.

While not technically a wine, these bottles merit some attention—especially from co*cktail lovers. Belinda Chang, who has worked as a sommelier for two decades at some of the best restaurants in the country and won a James Beard Foundation Award in 2011, says that these distilled non-alcoholic spirits "smell amazing—like my favorite Diptyque candles." Plus, she adds that they "make a great 'and soda' situation that is not just a club soda with lime."
