In Germany, alcohol-free wine is very common, and even smaller supermarkets sell alcohol-free gin and rum (specifically Captain Morgan Spiced). Whether those are any good really depends on what kinds of drinks you make with them, IME they usually suck when drunk neat, but e.g. alcohol-free wine is fine in an Aperol Spritz.
I have never tasted a difference between alcoholic and non-alcoholic beer of the same brand, though I’m not a big beer drinker so the nuances might be lost on me. But I don’t really like wine, either, and that difference is extremely obvious to me.
I’ve never seen a herbal tea that tastes like juniper. You’re not wrong, though, and it definitely feels like a ripoff when it’s the same price as the brand’s regular alcoholic product.
Meh, it’s not that bad. Wouldn’t pick it over any of the rums I usually buy (which aren’t available in supermarkets anyway), but it’s a decent enough spirit for its price class. I’d pick it over Bacardi or cheap whisky for sure.

I don’t drink since ages and never really drank wine. For me real wine mostly smells and tastes like solvent. Like it is isopropanol with some grapes.
Hmm, TIL. I never noticed those in any supermarket, but I admit I never looked for them either.
Gordon’s non-alcoholic gin works well with lemonade (Zitronenlimo) or sprite.
Wouldn’t alcohol free gin simply be herbal tea?

captain morgan spiced isn’t very good to begin with
