2. Hand on Heart Non-Alcoholic Chardonnay

Some folks only like White Wine with Thanksgiving and some will make sure they have Red! But if its a rich, oaky Chardonnay you enjoy with your Turkey-Day, Hand on Heart's Chardonnay is your go-to.

4. Wander + Found Non-Alcoholic Pinot Noir

Pairing: If you're serving a rich, hearty Thanksgiving spread, the JP Chenet Non-Alcoholic Cabernet-Syrah is the way to go.

The peppery notes provide a nice contrast to dishes spiced with herbs.

Best With: Sausage stuffing, gravy, roasted turkey, ham, rich desserts.
