Matthew Jukes wanted to mimic the experience of different styles of wine for someone with a sophisticated palate

Working from an old-fashioned recipe for haymaker’s punch, the English wine writer created Jukes Cordialities, which come in non-alcoholic red, white and rosé versions that use organic apple cider vinegar as a base.The lack of serious alcohol-free drink options encouraged Matthew Jukes to develop a line of cordials inspired by popular wine styles.

Jukes didn’t look to make alcohol-free wine. He developed concentrated fruit vinegar syrups, also known as a shrub, that are sold as a box of nine small bottles , which instructions suggest will yield approximately two 125 mL glasses when diluted with sparkling, still or tonic water.Jukes spent more than a year trialing different recipes based on the haymaker’s punch recipe he found online.

In a bid to mimic the experience of different styles of wine, his contemporary version embraces quality fruit and vegetables as well as flowers, herbs and spices to create complexity and layers of flavours. Along the way, the operation outgrew Jukes home kitchen. A purpose-built kitchen and production facility was established around the corner from his house in Battersea, south London.

Many alcohol-free wines look to sweetness to make up for the loss of weight or mouth feel that alcohol brings to a drink. These are vegan-friendly, gluten free, low-calorie beverages, ranging from 16 to 21 calories per serving, with impressive depth of flavour.
