I’m really glad I gave it a chance, because my experience was surprisingly different than the negative review.
Is it identical to a traditional white wine? Of course not. Non-alcoholic wines are a category of their own, and they deserve to be appreciated as such. That said, Presence does a great job of capturing the essence of white, light and crisp.
What I liked most was the balance. It’s not overly sweet like some other alcohol-free whites I’ve tried, and it doesn’t have that flat, watery feel. There’s a nice structure here. It even paired beautifully with a cheese board I threw together.
I can understand why it might not be for everyone, especially if someone’s expecting a perfect replica. But if you go in with an open mind, Presence delivers a genuinely enjoyable, elegant experience—perfect for evenings when you want to skip the alcohol but not the ritual of a good glass of wine.
