When purolator dropped off my shipment I opened immediately only to find all the bottle popped and frozen. I’ll give good credit to the gang as they sent me a new shipment right away, thank you.

Sometimes, you yearn for a familiar taste; a flavour that brings back the happy memories you have associated with your favourite wine. The AMAZING set of proxies looks you dead in the eyes & says “I’m going to rewrite that experience without the alcohol.” If you are hesitant, start with one bottle but you will end up coming back for more, for sure! And a company from Guelph no less, amazing! Highly highly recommend!

For family who don't really drink or pregnant friends (especially the ones who work in the wine business), there are perfect to have around. Also pretty great if you mix with sparkling water OR sparkling wine.

So much better than any NA wine I've ever tried...

So refreshing and thoughtfully curated flavor profiles. I look forward to each time and I also just love and miss the act of popping a cork since cutting out alcohol, so that is also a fun aspect. Beautiful packaging and love the wax seals

What a great way to have a fun 'dry march'. 2 of the flavours were great -(Sauvage / Pastiche) 1 was ok ( Zephyr) and 1 (Velvet) was a total fail.

Sauvage shocked me because I don't like white wine so I made an assumption before trying it that I wouldn't like it. Boy was I ever wrong! The complexity, complementary flavours, freshness and beautiful shifting on the palate like a good wine were a home run. Really enjoyed the pine and Cedar notes.

Pastiche was good although I did find a bit of the vinegar undertone too strong. I enjoyed it with of all things (considering the spice contrast) East Indian lamb curry dinner, and it was good.

The Velvet was a true disappointment. That was the reason I purchased the set in the first place. I was really expecting it to have oh, I don't know, something that wasn't a kin to… a condiment sauce. It was an interesting blend on paper but none of us liked it. Berry notes were swallowed by far too much vinegar. Opposing tastes in general and a strange ( but agreed upon ) flavor of ketchup / tomato paste!? Could be the recipe. Could of been this particular lot. Wouldn't order it again. Didnt finish the bottle. 0/5

Zephyr was neither here nor there. It was okay but dont feel it was worth the cost.

I really liked the idea of a tasting set allowing new clients to try a few different proxies. Out of the 4 bottles, I only really liked one of them. 2 others were ok, but I would not reorder. The 4th bottle (Sauvage) I really disliked. The good news is that I now know which one I want to re-order (and did so today) For this company overall, I would suggest the option to order single bottles of proxies and Tonics so that clients can try things out instead of needing to commit to 3 or 4 bottles of something. Either that or make the sample kits smaller.

Ce n'est pas du vin. Ce n'est pas du jus. C'est une nouvelle boisson avec ses arômes bien à elle.

Elle copie le "branding" du vin mais c'est autre chose. Quelque chose qui réinvente la boisson des dieux.

Une boisson qui a sa propre finesse, son propre caractère. Des touches d'acidités et du fruit très bien équilibrées. Une belle recherche. Une belle découverte . Je vous souhaite longue vie.

We've had these bottles separately but we are delighted to have them in this pack. As recent non-drinkers we've had a hard time finding something that could make us feel like we are participating at dinner parties. Proxies have changed all that for us. Not only only do we get to feel like we're "part of the gang" but the product is absolutely so well thought out and has amazing profiles. I could drink a whole bottle to myself and that's totally fine!

Complex, delicious beverages that in no way approximate wine, i.e., I found it difficult to sip them, as opposed to drink them. Nevertheless, I would buy every iteration if they were a bit more affordable.

As usual with these situations that involve a "set", some were good and some were just plain weird. I do not like the subscription mandate at all. So entirely fatigued with almost everything needing to be a subscription! Let us purchase when WE want to! Will not be joining the cult!!
