This doesn't answer your question, but I've heard a lot about a "wine proxy" (non alc wine substitute) that's basically really nicely blended vinegars made for drinking, called Acid League. They don't ship outside the US so I haven't been able to try them. If you're into wine, I'd be curious to know your thoughts on them! For another non alc spirit that's not "gin", try Lyre's Italian Spritz, it's an excellent "Aperol" (best for spritzes, clearly) – the bitter flavour means it still tastes like an adult drink. Forget about Lyre's American Malt though, tastes like syrup. For beer, Mikkeller's Drink'in in the Sun is great. Unlike most non alc beers, this one isn't de-alcoholised, it's brewed like normal beer, but they choose a yeast that produces very little alcohol (it's 0.3%).
