Where can I buy proper alcohol free wine???

Hi I would like to find somewhere that sells alcohol free wine - I don't mean sweet grape juice in a wine bottle, but proper dry (ie not sweet)fermented wine that has been de-alcoholized). Dry non alcoholic beer is available here, but I can't find non alcoholic wine - I would be really pleased if someone could help me out with some suggestions.

many thanks!

LOL most of the non alcoholic beers do indeed taste appalling, more like horlicks, however as a previously committed beer drinker and member of the Campaign for Real Ale, I can say that some alcohol free beers are acceptable. The key to it is de-alcoholising a fully fermented malt, rather than halting the fermentation early, which leaves it sweet-tasting. In doha the only one that is ok is holsten, but others exist outside doha.

still waiting for someone to point me in the right direction!

and who thinks that "de-alcholized" beer tastes like beer? No one who imbibes the real stuff that's for sure. As for wine, goodness, the fake beer tastes bad enough, I can't imagine what happens to the wine!

Yes such a thing exists, just like for beer - they make it as usual then use one of several processes to remove the alcohol without removing the distinctive taste.

LOL I would liken it to a car with no emissions rather than no wheels!!!

Some people, for medical, religious, driving or other reasons (my mum for example gets drunk after a thimble-full of wine) like to enjoy the taste of wine without the alcoholic effects.

Here is a website selling it, but I want it here in Qatar!!! I would have thought that with all the rich arabs around, there would be a demand for it......

Have you been drinking too much wine.... does such wine exist and if so what is the point? That is like having a car without any wheels and an invitation to the Playboy mansion with only 10 mintues to get there...
