Traubensaft. It's a non-alcoholic sparkling apple juice that they sell (or sold) in German-speaking Switzerland. In my opinion, it was better than the Martinelli's that you can get in the US.

You mean Apfelschorle? "Trauben" means grapes and I think that's probably not what you meant if you're writing about apples.

It's been over 30 years. But yes, come to think of it, I think it was grape.

And in reply to tetris11: Yes, there's grape juice everywhere, but not like this. This wasn't Welch's. If this stuff had been alcoholic, I would have been in trouble...

The alcoholic version of this in Europe is Federweisser (or Sturm in Austria)

My advice, find a local winery and see if they sell grape juice. My local wineries sell amazing grape juices that are nothing like welchs in wine bottles in Northern Ohio, I assume they're similar to the kind you're looking for. Edit: just noticed that you wanted sparkling, this may not apply

Or use a soda stream.

You might try some of these, the pomegranate-blueberry is excellent!:

Grapejuice can be found everywhere
