It’s ok but not sure if it justifies the price so to be honest I’m disappointed with it. Back to the drawing board trying to find a good tasting non alcoholic wine. Won’t buy again

Far too expensive for what you get. I'd rather have diet coke or water than spend that much! Andy Having been Type 1 diabetic for 60 years everything tastes far too sweet. Forget the artificial s... See more

It didn't really taste like wine. Quite vinegary. I guess the clue was in the description, it's based on vinegar.

You have to try it!

I recently had the pleasure to try the Jukes 8 Sparkling Rosé and I have to tell you, I love it! I'm absolutely thrilled to dive into Juke 1 and Juke 6 next, anticipating an irresistible obsession with both! This drink has a great refreshing taste that is perfct in every occasion.

Delicious

Even with so many now on the market it is hard to find a tasty non-alcoholic alternative to the real deal, but Jukes have absolutely nailed it. I love the little bottles as well - great aesthetic.

Delicious!

Delicious! So happy to have finally found an alcohol free drink that is healthy and that actually has complexity. I also love the dryness on the palate, particularly with food.

Sadly not for my palate

I ordered Jukes 5 and really hoped to love it as have been looking for an alternative to wine for a long time

Delivery was very quick and the packaging lovely

Sadly the vinegar smell and taste - even very diluted with water - is not for my palate.

Reply from Jukes Cordialities

Hi Martin,
Thank you for giving Jukes 5 a try and for your kind words about our packaging and delivery. We’re sorry to hear the flavour profile didn’t suit your palate. The vinegar base is at the heart of what gives Jukes its structure and depth, but we understand it’s not for everyone. We really appreciate you sharing your honest thoughts, and we’re grateful you gave us a go in your search for a wine alternative. We've made some key changes over the past couple of years, so if you’d be open to trying Jukes again, we’d love to hear from you, just drop us an email at info@jukescordialities.com.
Warm regards,
The Jukes Team

Absolutely brilliant product

Absolutely brilliant product. Built on organic apple cider vinegar rather than alcohol, it both delivers great, complex taste blends that really enhance your dining, as well as simultaneously delivering powerful health benefits - very low calorie, vegan, gluten-free, no booze fuzzies and that apple cider vinegar that makes your gut biome very happy, and so makes you feel so much better over time. I'm drinking one a day for the apple cider vinegar, plus one or two when I go out to dinners, and it helps me thrive. And my partner is doing the same; we've loving Jukes. Great packaging too.

Great alternative to wine!

So glad I found Jukes, love the branding and the bottles are perfect size to slip in your bag for nights out or going to bbq's. The packaging is so stylish and great quality if buying as a gift. The white and rose options are great just mixed with water. Finally a non-alcoholic wine replacement with really low sugar which has been so hard to find since going Keto 10 years ago. I find I can dilute the cordial right down so get quite a few glasses out of one of the bottles. I do find the red a little too much like fruit juice so that doesn't quite hit the spot for replacing a mature red wine, but the others are fab! Definitely recommend.

I was desperate to love this and have an alternative to wine, but the vinegary smell totally put me off. Unfortunately for me the apple cider vinegar base was too strong and too powerful. I was trying to pretend it was wine but the vinegar smell just made me think of bad wine. Sorry Jukes but I won’t be buying any more.

This has got to me my absolute go-to…

This has got to me my absolute go-to drink for all occasions. Whether you want to stick with the still or sparkling water, or even make a cocktail - these tiny bottles are so adaptable! My favourite is Jukes 6 and I am also a huge fan of the monthly recipes, well done Jukes!

Sophisticated taste and healthy alternative…

Very pleasant and healthy alternative to drinking fizzy drinks when you don’t want alcohol. The flavours are on another level. Need to find your personal favourite as a base (still, sparkling or tonic) and the balance of Jukes - but when you do these are well worth it for a more sophisticated drink.

Highly recommended. Great flavours.

Super fast delivery. Great communication. Absolutely love Jukes 8 & 6. The flavours are divine with the subtle taste of ACV. No8 is super refreshing which blends itself lovely with lighter meals. The No 6 has amazing depth of flavour, incredible to think they’re both 0% alcohol yet have harmonious flavours.

Absolutely love this product

Absolutely love this product. Great alternative for wine for discerning palates. Don't get this if you like sweet things- it is refreshing and high end. Wonderful find for food lovers, those watching their weight, and those who want a refreshing but complex drink!

Jukes 2 not for me thanks

I just tried Jukes 2. I really do not understand how anyone can possibly like it. The smell is not unlike a medicine I was given and loathed as a child and it tastes sickly sweet and rather chemical. Disgusting

Overpriced

Overpriced, poor alternative to wine, i have never been so disappointed in a product. Wonderful packaging and branding sadly the product......not so much . Its like vinegary red and white water. Im afraid that the maker of this wine writing and tasting skills must have been muffled. I love my wines and am happy to pay , but was hoping that the £38 +£6 pp i would finally have found a midweek drink ..........how wrong was i .......#dissapointed

Ridiculously expensive for what it is

I bought the tasting box at £38 (+£6 P&P) - 9 bottles, 3 different types of cordial. I naively thought that each bottle would make up a full wine bottle equivalent. That would work at just over £4 per wine bottle equivalent - OK, I'll pay that for a good quality cordial.

No.

Each bottle makes up only a 250ml glass. So this is the equivalent of buying 3 bottles of wine at £13 each. For that kind of price, I expected something much better - not fruit juice mixed with apple cider vinegar. It's a pleasant enough drink, but not for that price. After a bit of experimentation, I achieved the same taste with sugar free Ribena and cider vinegar. So, save your money and buy a good quality cordial instead.

Or stick to wine.

I am happy to recommend jukescordialities as a friendly
professional outfit with a beautifully packaged product and great customer service. I personally did not like the flavour and emailed them, returned the testing box and got refund within 24 hours.

I love the idea of what Jukes is trying but…

I love the idea of what Jukes is trying to do, but having bought the sample set of three bottles of each of its three flavours, I won't be buying it again. The taste of apple cider vinegar, which is the main ingredient, is just too overpowering in the #6 version. You get hit with the smell of it as soon as you raise your glass to your mouth. I emailed them about it but have yet to receive a reply, so their customer service may not be working too well.
