Ariel non-alcoholic wines

I used to love gin and tonics on a summer day. And a fine wine with a beautiful dinner.

Now, I am strictly a sparkling water gal. I stopped drinking in 2001 for about 6 months while losing weight. After I had reached my goal weight and started drinking again, I had a hard time tolerating alcohol. Finally, I gave up drinking all together.

Drake stopped drinking in 2004 when he was undergoing treatment for lymphoma. The same thing happened to him - after he completed treatment he had hard time tolerating alcohol so gradually he gave it up.

Drake really missed wine with dinner, so he researched non-alcoholic wines. Some of these were awful - like grape juice. Bad, weird grape juice. But, then he found Ariel:

ARIEL is a pioneer in the production of super and ultra premium non-alcoholic wines. The wine world took notice when our ARIEL Blanc won a Gold Medal against wines with alcohol. Since that historic event, ARIEL wines have been judged in eight professional wine competitions to be superior to wines with alcohol.

Drake drinks a glass of Ariel now just about every night with dinner.  I have it once in a while, too, but I had already cultivated a water habit so I stick mostly with that.
