Don’t forgo flavour

There is a good selection of drinks out there thesedaysifyou are going ‘dry’ this month.

Sparkling zero: January sees many birthdays in my household, so a glass of fizz always goes down well. If you are cutting down on alcohol but, like me, have several celebrations this month then La Gioiosa (Morrisons, £5) tastes very much like a prosecco, with a good frothy fizz, a zing of citrus and a rounded palate.

Belle & Co also has a good sparkle and taste, made from fermented grape juice and green tea. It has a refreshing, floral and citrus taste and goes down well with anyone planning to drive home from a party.

The white and the slightly fuller flavoured rosé version are available at Asda and Morrisons at around £3.50.
