These may just save my life if I ever become pregnant…

Disclosure : I was gifted a case of the Voyager Estate red and white sparkling grape juice.

Immediately when I think about sparkling grape juice, I think of pregnant women and children. I mean why else would you go there?

Recently Voyager Estate in the Margaret River gifted me a case each of their sparkling red and white grape juices for me to taste. I’m quite a fan of the Voyager Estate wines (the alcoholic ones, that is!) so I thought they couldn’t be all bad. And hey, there’s no rules about not spiking the grape juice with vodka now is there!

Before I received the bottles I decided to do some digging into why the heck they are wasting good quality wine grapes on such products and I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised and I absolutely love the story behind these alcohol free sparkling wines.

The story behind Voyager Estates Grape Juice

The founder of Voyager Estate, Michael Wright, surprisingly enough was not a big boozer. Yep you read that right! Therefore he began his own side project at the winery and that was to use the same grapes used in the wines to make alcohol free sparkling grape juice. Michael has sadly passed away but the Voyager Estate team like to keep his legacy alive by continuing to make it.

The grapes may change year on year which go into the grape juice however you can be sure that they’re of exceptional quality and are treated with as much care as their award-winning, world-class wines. The grapes are machine-harvested (at about 14-15 baumé, 280-300g/L sugar) and then crushed and pressed immediately after.

The red sparkling grape juice gets its colour from spending 6-8 hours on its red grape skins after crushing. After this the grape juice is filtered to give it that crystal clear demeanour and then diluted to make it not so syrupy. Once at the perfect level the juice is moved into stainless steel tanks to be pressurised with carbon dioxide to give it that lovely fizz.

So what’s the verdict on this non-alcoholic grape juice?

Firstly, I’m a sucker for lovely packaging. The brown, nearly vintage looking carry pack of six 330ml bottles looks fantastic. It’d look classy to take along to a BBQ or picnic and I’m sure most people would probably think it was alcoholic too. So perhaps a good one to hide the baby news 😉

A case of 24 bottles sells roughly for $100, so you’re looking at about $4 per bottle which is pretty reasonable in my opinion. A great alternative to soft drink which sells at a fairly similar price. The 2012 vintage which I received (haha yes it’s vintage non-alcoholic grape juice of course!) is made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes for the white and Shiraz grapes for the red. Personally I preferred the white better, I didn’t find it as sweet as the red, and it seemed to have a touch more acidity which is right up my alley.

Where can you buy the grape juice?

The Grape Juice is stocked at The Boat Shed in Cottesloe , The Re Store in Leederville , The Herdsman in Churchlands , Basils in Mindarie and Liquor Barons in Swanbourne and of course on the Voyager Estate website . If you’re on the East coast of Aussie, then you’ll need to order it online via the website.

How do I get from Moscow airports to the city center?

Moscow with its more than twelve million inhabitants has three international airports. The best known is Sheremetyevo (international abbreviation SVO), which is 35 km northwest of Red Square. Russia’s largest airline Aeroflot has its hub here. The second largest airport, Domodedovo (international abbreviation DME), is about 45 km south-east of the center, from where the S7 airline, which mainly flies within Russia, and numerous international airlines such as Lufthansa take off and land. Finally, there is the third largest airport called Moscow-Wnukovo (abbreviation VKO), which serves numerous low-cost airlines such as Pobeda and is the closest to Moscow city center at just under 30 km.

Aeroexpress to the city center

First the good news – all three airports are easy to reach, both by taxi and by public transport such as train and bus. All three airports are connected to the Moscow city center by means of the so-called Aeroexpress. The Aeroexpress is certainly the most popular and the easiest way for foreigners to get to the center of Moscow. With the striking red signs Aeroexpress, you can find the way to the express trains both at Moscow’s three major airports and at the respective departure stations.

The modern, wifi-equipped trains from the private provider have little in common with the city railway trains from the Russian capital, which still originate from the Soviet era, and run to all three airports from early morning until after midnight. The schedule varies from airport to airport and time of day. As a rule of thumb, trains go to Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo every half an hour during the day to and from the airport, while Wnukowo is only served hourly for much of the day.

The same pricing scheme applies to all three airports: at 300 rubles (around $ 4.50) for a one-way trip, the prices for the trip are significantly more expensive than regular public transport tickets in Moscow, but are still affordable. Sheremetyevo and Vnukovo are each around 35 minutes from the center, and Domodedovo Airport is 45 minutes away.

If you buy the ticket in advance or via the app, there is a 50 ruble discount, further discounts are available if you book a return trip with one ticket, which costs 600 rubles (around $ 8.50). When it comes to value for money, the Aeroexpress trains are certainly the best option as a solo traveler. Especially since bypassing the often treacherous Moscow traffic – in the rush hour a drive by car can take an hour longer than previously estimated.

The biggest disadvantage is that you can of course not go directly to the desired destination within Moscow. However, all three Aeroexpress trains take you to one of the major Moscow train stations, which in turn are connected to the ring line of the Moscow Metro, from where you can quickly reach all corners of the center of Moscow.

Transport connections

• Sheremetyevo Airport -> Belorussky Vokzal (journey time 35 minutes)
• Domodedovo -> Paveletsky Vokzal (journey time 45 minutes)
• Wnukowo -> Kiewsky Vokzal (travel time 35 minutes)

Prices (apply to all three airports in the city and to the airport):

• One-way ticket at the counter = 300 rubles
• Online ticket = 300 rubles
• Round trip = 600 rubles
• Tickets for 10 trips = 2,300 rubles
• Ticket Business Class = 800 rubles

Link : timetables of the Aeroexpress trains to the city center

Link : timetables of the Aeroexpress trains to the airports

In the city or to the airport by taxi app

Alternatively, the transport from and to the airport can also be regulated using the taxi app. Yandex-Taxi and Gett are the two most popular providers in Moscow. At Yandex the flat rate to all three international airports currently costs 1100 rubles ($ 16) and at Gett even only 950 rubles ($ 14) in the cheapest variant, with a small car of the size VW Polo or Ford Focus.

Unless you want to go to the airport with too much luggage or with more than two people, this is certainly the easiest method. Moderate surcharges are required for larger vehicle categories. Without knowledge of Russian, however, it would be much easier to get to the airport by taxi app than from the airport to the city. Due to the confusing location in front of the three major airports, it may be necessary to contact the driver by phone to find the right vehicle. Because the GPS signal of the respective app only gives the location with an accuracy of about ten to fifteen meters – with several lanes running side by side in front of the terminal and dozens of waiting passengers and arriving taxis, it is certainly not always easy to find yourself straight away.

If you are still dependent on the WiFi of the airport building and therefore must not move too far from the entrance, the whole thing could prove to be difficult. From the city to the airport, however, the taxi app without knowledge of Russian proves to be the much easier method. The hotel or AirBnB address can be entered as the pick-up location, and a taxi can usually be ordered within a few minutes.

Moscow trip planned? Here you can find out how to get the necessary visa! !

With the classic taxi into the city

If you want to drive into the city by regular taxi, you have to expect considerable additional costs. The website of Domodedovo airport gives 2,000 rubles as a guide for a trip to the center, i.e. just $ 28. Trips to and from Vnukovo and Sheremetyevo should be a little cheaper. As with the taxi apps, the following also applies here: Especially at rush hour, you should probably prefer the train because Moscow’s streets burst at the seams in the after-hours traffic.

Bus metro combination

For experienced travelers to Russia or visitors with a particularly tight budget, there is still the option of all three airports to get to the nearest metro station by bus or Marshrutka (mini-bus with a fixed route but flexible stops).

From Vnukowo, for example, the 45M minibus line goes to the Yugo-Zapadnaya metro station on the red line № 1 of the Moscow Metro, for just 150 rubles. Together with the 62 rubles ticket for the metro, you can get into the city for just over $ 3.

Sheremetyevo Airport can be reached from the Rechnoy Vokzal metro station on Marshrutka line 949 for 80 rubles, or from Planernaya metro station with Marshrutka 948 for 80 rubles ($ 1.1). The minibuses run approximately every 15 minutes. Domodedovo Airport is connected by express bus to the metro station of the same name every half hour. The fare here is 150 rubles (a good 2,1 $). However, complications must be expected with this transport route – the bus drivers in Moscow usually only speak Russian. Taking the metro or minibuses with luggage is not always comfortable. However, you can save money, especially as a solo traveler.

Michigan Mule

A Michigan Mule is a fun take on a classic cocktail! In it, vodka and cherry juice concentrate is combined, poured over ice with a squeeze of lime and topped off with Vernors ginger ale. This recipe serves 2 but can easily halve to serve 1 or doubled for more.

If you been hanging around the last 12 years or so, you may know that I (proudly) live in Michigan. I love it here. From the cider mills to Meijer grocery stores, the Mackinac bridge, wineries, our Great Lakes and “up north” weekends away. Michigan is known for; Detroit style pizza, pasties, Michigan salad, coney dogs, Vernors ginger ale, Better Made and Downy’s potato chips, Mackinac Island fudge, and Traverse City for being the largest producer of tart cherries – just to name a few. And over the years, I’ve shared these Michigan icons through recipes on my blog.

What is a Michigan Mule?

Essentially a Michigan mule is a tart cherry Moscow mule. In it I use a cherry juice concentrate (made in Traverse city!) because it’s thicker than cherry juice, and in my opinion, packs more of a cherry punch. Moscow mules traditionally use ginger beer, however since Vernors is a Michigan staple (invented by a Detroit pharmacist around 1866) I use that instead.

I garnish it maraschino cherries and a wedge of lime threaded on a cocktail pick.

A sweet, tart and delicious cocktail.

To Make A Michigan Mule You Will Need:

• ice – Fill your mule mug to the top to keep the drink cold and  help from being watered down when adding room temp liquids.
• vodka – Vodka is the liquor used in Moscow mules. We like Tito’s but use your favorite.
• cherry juice concentrate – This is thick and syrupy with a concentrated cherry flavor. I use the Shoreline fruit brand
• lime wedges – Add a touch of bright citrus flavor.
• Vernors (ginger ale) – A Michigan brand, however any ginger ale or ginger beer can be used.
• maraschino cherries – Use for garnish.

• Fill 2 copper mugs to the top with ice.

Then combine 4 ounces of vodka (or use desired amount of vodka) with 4 ounces cherry juice concentrate and then divide and pour into each mug. Since the cherry concentrate is syrupy, you will want to do this beforehand.

Squeeze in the juice from a wedge of lime (per mug).

Fill the mugs the rest of the way with Vernors.

Garnish with maraschino cherries and a wedge of lime.

Sip. Relax. Enjoy!
