Proxies Reviews

2.5

Proxies earns polarized reviews: enthusiasts praise the complex, botanical blends (Sauvage, Blanc Sheep, white bubbles, Gold Crush) and elegant packaging, while many find the liquids too sweet, vinegary, or kombucha-like and not a convincing wine alternative. Reviews of Proxies highlight intriguing flavor notes and a festive, alcohol-free ritual, but recurrent complaints cite undrinkable reds (Big Red, Red Ember), medicinal aromas, and disappointment relative to expectations of wine.

    I quit drinking 2 years ago. I used to like white or rose wines, but not red because they taste too strong. I've been trying non-alcoholic brands and I kind of like Proxies. The rose tasted like sparkling juice because obviously, being non-alc, that's what it is. I thought it had interesting notes added to it that made me feel like I'm tasting a regular wine trying to notice the different notes. I would definitely try their other varieties if I come across them. The only drawback is that they are really expensive for a non-alcoholic brand.

    I do like to keep this around for when I have guests over who don’t drink. I wouldn’t say that they necessarily taste bad, but I don’t think it exactly taste like wine either. They do have a lot of different options and the ones in cans aren’t bad either.

    The branding is on point! These bottles look amazing. The taste is very interesting. They say it isn’t wine and it certainly is not. It is somewhere between a cocktail mixer, juice and wine. I enjoyed some more than others, but I still missed wine in dry Jan. Sauvage was a winner! It is however a big step-up from alcohol-removed wine!

    I am glad these were ground shipped (even if it took weeks), but wish they used less packaging or something less environmentally impactful.

    Let me tell you about Proxies, the non-alcoholic drink that's rocking my taste buds! This stuff is seriously amazing. First of all, the flavor selection is out of this world. They've got a range of unique and refreshing options that are perfect for any occasion. From zesty citrus blends to tantalizing herbal concoctions, Proxies has got your taste buds covered. But what really sets Proxies apart is the quality of their ingredients. They use only the finest, natural ingredients to create these delicious drinks. No artificial flavors or weird chemicals here! Just pure goodness in every sip. I love how Proxies manages to capture the essence of a great cocktail without any alcohol. It's like having a sophisticated drink without the hangover. Whether you're the designated driver or simply prefer to skip the alcohol, Proxies is the perfect companion. Plus, the packaging is sleek and stylish. These bottles are Instagram-worthy, trust me. You'll feel like a trendsetter while sipping on your Proxies. So, if you're looking for a non-alcoholic beverage that's bursting with flavor and made with love, look no further than Proxies. It's the ultimate drink for those who want to enjoy the party without the alcohol. Cheers to that!

What is Proxies?

In their own words

We created Proxies for when you want something to drink but you’re not drinking. By blending wine grapes, fruits, teas, spices, and complex ferments, Proxies go way beyond the grape to capture everything that makes wine a great pairing with food—acidity, body, and tannin—without the alcohol.
