McGuigan Wines is going alcohol-free, well at least for these Zero range of wines. The varieties include shiraz, sparkling, rosé, chardonnay and sauvignon blanc and are now available at your local first Choice Liquor Market store. The wines were in development for over two years and use the latest spinning cone technology, working at low temperatures to gently remove alcohol after the fermentation process, ensuring the wines maintain their delicate fruit flavours. The wines were created to maintain strong varietal characteristic, it added, containing no artificial sweeteners or additives.

In 1953, the Littore family left Sicily for Melbourne and started a new life in Australia. With wine in the blood, it was no surprise they planted a vineyard and later built a winery. Their Eden Grove Shiras is brimful of ripe berry fruit with a gentle kick of exotic spice on an irresistibly smooth, silky finish.
