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.

Jukes Cordialiities look so smart

Jukes Cordialiities look so smart, as they arrive in great packaging so extra handy if you are buying as a gift! The drinks are a great, sophisticated, adult alternative to alcohol. A real touch of luxury. I love all the flavours. They can be mixed with still or sparkling water depending on your preference, or bought as sparkling in cans.

Hi Tania,
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re really sorry to hear your order took longer than expected to arrive that’s not the experience we strive to offer, and we’ll review this with our delivery partners. We appreciate you trying our Tasting Box of concentrates. The blends are designed to be diluted to taste and offer a bold, layered profile but we understand that it may not be for everyone. If you’re still curious, our Sparkling Tasting Box might be a more accessible option, as it offers our perfectly blended read to drink format. If you’re open to exploring other options, feel free to drop us a line at info@jukescordialities.com.
Best regards,
The Jukes Team

Hi Neil,
Thanks for giving us a try and for sharing your thoughts. You’re absolutely right, our drinks are built around organic apple cider vinegar to deliver a dry, grown-up profile that nods to wine, but with a unique twist. We totally get that it’s not for everyone, and really appreciate your openness. If you’re ever curious to try a lighter or fruitier blend, we’d be happy to recommend one, just drop us a line at info@jukescordialities.com.
Cheers,

Absolutely love the jukes 6 sparkling red. Nicely packed and good size can. Prompt delivery. I tried this for the first time on a cruise ship and it’s one of the nicer non alcoholic drinks I’ve had. Bonus is it’s just a few calories.

Hi Zazou,
Thanks for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the blend wasn’t what you were hoping for. Our drinks are inspired by wine, but not direct imitations, and we understand that the balance of fruit and acidity isn’t for everyone. Your comments are really valuable as we continue refining the range. If you’d like to try one of our drier styles, just drop us a message at info@jukescordialities.com, we’d love to recommend something more suited to your taste.
Warm regards,
The Jukes Team

Pretty pricey and just tastes like apple cider vinegar but if you like that taste then it’ll definitely be the drink for you.

Hi Joanna,
Thanks so much for giving us a try and for sharing your honest thoughts. Our drinks are built around organic apple cider vinegar to create a sophisticated, grown-up profile, but we understand it’s not to everyone’s taste. We use premium organic ingredients and small-batch production, which can make the pricing feel higher, though we’re always working to keep it accessible. We really appreciate your feedback, it helps us grow.
All the best,
The Jukes Team

Bought the sample box of x3 bottles of all x3 types.
Tried each bottle with different mixers and couldn't get past the smell and taste of vinegar, regardless of what mixers used.
Really disappointed and definitely won't be repurchasing.

Hi Kathy,
Thanks for trying the collection and taking the time to share your experience, we’re really sorry to hear it didn’t land well for you.

Totally disappointed after going by the previous reviews

I bought the Jukes 6 drinks because of the reviews. I bought the 9 small bottles.
I used half a bottle with a little bit of water it tasted awful so I added the whole bottle. It was like drinking ribena with vinegar in it!
A very unpleasant drink & rather sweet.
So very disappointed

Hi Sharon,
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We are sorry to hear Jukes 6 wasn’t quite to your taste. Our blends are designed to be mixed to taste, and we know that finding the right balance of dilution can take a little experimenting. If you’re still curious about Jukes, our ready-to-drink sparkling cans might be a great fit, they offer the same layered flavour, pre-mixed for ease and consistency. We’d be happy to recommend one you might enjoy, just drop us a line at info@jukescordialities.com.
Warm regards,

Very Disapointing

I bought a set of 9 bottles of Jukes No6, as all reviews stated how good the drink is.
Then I filled half a wine glass with cold water and added half a bottle of the cordial. I smelt the drink - and all I could smell was vinegar. Then I drank, and all I could taste was watered down vinegar with some blackcurrent flavouring. I added more cordial but could only mainly taste vinegar.
I contacted Jukes to see if I had a faulty batch, they did reply, and they advised that cider vinegar is the base for this drink and that I should add more water.
Fortunately I had bought the set from Selfridges who gave me a full refund.
I certainly will not purchase any more cordials from this company.

Hi Martin,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, we’re sorry to hear Jukes 6 didn’t quite suit your taste. Our blends are crafted around organic apple cider vinegar to create a layered, deliver a layered, wine-inspired experience and while the profile is distinctive, we know it’s not for everyone. We’re pleased our team could assist you promptly and that Selfridges were able to help with a refund.

A tasteful experience !

Tired of sweet lemonades or unwanted beers, I found my new wingman for my healthy nights out ! I sometimes drink wines and sometimes a sophisticated Jukes, depends on my mood but I always enjoy the moment !

Stunning

I have tried both the 1 and 6 and I couldn’t be happier and satisfied about it. They taste simply delicious and are a wonderful alternative to wine and/or alcoholic drinks.
The packaging looks amazing and its simplicity is what makes it looks so elegant
5 stars is not enough for this company, I would rate it 10 out 10 if I could.
Well done to this amazing company

Jukes is a really unique drink

Jukes is a really unique drink which I look forward to as an alternative to alcoholic drinks for the week days. Unlike other non-alcoholic drinks on the market, it has complex flavours and is really delicious. There isn't anything else on the market that is as refreshing and delicious.

love it!!

It’s the best alternative to wine that I’ve found (normally they’re too sweet) but Jukes has a subtle ACV flavour. It being gluten free is a added bonus!!
