Experience Sophistication with Wild Idol Zero Alcohol Sparkling Wine at The Ivy

Wild Idol Zero Alcohol Sparkling Wine: A Toast to Health at The Ivy

If you find meandering through the vibrant streets of London, looking for a dining spot that combines a relaxed stylish atmosphere with wellness, The Ivy chain of restaurants might just have the perfect offering to elevate your lunch experience without compromising your health goals. Enter Wild Idol Zero Alcohol Sparkling Wine, a chic and vegan-friendly alternative that promises the elegance of traditional sparkling wine without the alcohol content.

We were offered a glass to try at a restaurant we often frequent mid week for a casual quick but tasty lunch, the Ivy on the Kings Road in Chelsea. Brasserie style dining, great service and you don’t need to dress up.

In recent years, the trend towards healthier lifestyles has seen a significant shift in the beverage choices of diners, particularly among those who prefer to avoid alcohol due to health reasons or personal preferences. Recognizing this shift, The Ivy has introduced Wild Idol Zero Alcohol Sparkling Wine to its beverage menu, catering to a growing demographic of health-conscious patrons. The long summer nights and the balmy weather in the UK have meant drinking a bit too much of an evening and I wanted to rein that in for the next few months. My girlfriend is also pregnant so it means she can enjoy a glass of bubbles too.

It’s the first time I’ve tried a sophisticated blend like this, Idol Wild have attempted and successfully I might add filling the gap of a delicious fizzy aperitif without the booze or sluggish unproductive afternoon that doesn't taste like fizzy apple juice or church wine.

Wild Idol stands out as a non-alcoholic sparkling wine crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail as its alcoholic counterparts, I haven't tried the boozy version as there isn’t one although am assured by friends the Ivy Collection is very good. A mate of mine who's a bit of a connoisseur and wine collector said the Ivy Collection wines, sparkling cuvee and rose are not the poor relation, his words, to more well known popular choices like Verve Cliquot or Tattinger, his favourite champagne.

In comparison, the idol Wild drinks are naturally alcohol free, a blend of meticulously selected grapes, ensuring that each sip delivers a complexity and depth akin to traditional sparkling wine with or without alcohol. The non alcoholic version tasted really good, better than expected and did leave me wanting another glass, at £13.50 I stuck with the one complimentary glass offered but will be keeping my eyes open for this tasty alcohol free tipple elsewhere. It's an appealing option for those who desire the sophisticated feel of sipping on a bubbly without the effects of alcohol.

Not Just Non-Alcoholic, But Vegan Too

In addition to being zero-alcohol, Wild Idol is vegan-friendly, making it an inclusive choice that aligns with various dietary preferences and lifestyles. This aspect is particularly appealing to me at a time when I am trying to be healthier and veganism is becoming not just a diet but a lifestyle choice for many. The health benefits of trying to eat more plant based options becoming more and more undeniable. By choosing ingredients that are cruelty-free and plant-based, Wild Idol ensures that everyone at the table can join in the toast.

Perfect for Lunchtime Indulgence

Choosing a non-alcoholic drink like Wild Idol Zero Alcohol Sparkling Wine during lunch can be a smart decision, especially for those with afternoon commitments. It offers the pleasure of a festive drink without the lethargy that alcohol might induce. Plus, its moderate fizziness ensures that you won't feel too bloated or uncomfortable after your meal, keeping you in perfect shape to continue your day.

To sum up,

Wild Idol's grapes are grown in the Rheinhessen region of Germany, however the wine itself is produced and blended in England by award-winning winemakers, specifically at Balfour Winery's Hush Heath Estate in Kent, England. Love supporting made in UK. The product is a naturally alcohol-free sparkling drink made from a blend of Müller-Thurgau, Dornfelder, and Merlot grapes, carefully chosen for their fruity and aromatic qualities.

I recommend every champagne drinker give it a try. Not as fizzy and of course you won’t get the same buzz but I think you’ll be quite impressed, I was.
