Proxies Big Red is among the bolder red wine alternatives in the Proxies range, developed by Acid League. Where other Proxies build from grape juice or verjus, Big Red centres on cascara (the dried husk of the coffee cherry), combined with black malt, hibiscus, and brandy barrel extract. At under 0.5%, it sits marginally above the fully alcohol-free expressions in the range. The black malt content means it is not suitable for those avoiding gluten.
