Most people know Welch’s for various yummy jams and juices, but the brand has just released a non alcoholic sparkling rosé that NBC Today describes as “all bubbly with no buzz.”
It’s perfect for events that are too early in the day for actual drinking or are just better served without alcohol. Non-drinkers in the fam or friend group, whether by choice or because they haven’t quite hit the 21 mark just yet, are also sure to enjoy being included in the rosé festivities.
It doesn’t quite taste like alcoholic rosé, as it’s mostly made of grape juice and sparkling water, but it still has the fun, summery look.
Instagram users were definitely eager to get onboard with the idea of a way to really do “rosé all day” with zero fear of a terrible hangover. One made the announcement in all-caps excitement that, “THIS MADE MY DAY.”
As far as calorie-counting goes, Welch’s version is a slightly better option. And if you want to define slightly, it beats out boozy rosé with 70 calories, as opposed to 73 in a standard 3.5 ounce drink. The non alcoholic version has significantly more sugar though, with 17 grams of sugar in the 3.5 ounce drink as opposed to just one in the alcoholic one.
Honestly, though, who’s counting? I’ll take both — you can never be too prepared for different events that might need some kind of rosé boost.
