M&S Merlot is an alcohol-free red wine sourced from vineyards in the South of France, one of the dealcoholised wines in M&S's own-label range. The winemaking team developed it to replicate the specific character of M&S's standard French Merlot, with the brand describing the result as soft and easy-drinking, with ripe red berry and plum character. M&S recommends consuming it within nine months of purchase to preserve the freshness of the fruit profile.
