#Making non alcoholic spirits cracked
I recently cracked open a bottle of Apl ó s, a hemp-infused, non-alcoholic spirit. A worthy substitute for an apres-dinner amaro. Mediterranean-influenced no-ABV aperitivo Ghia is fantastic: bright and bitter from the combination of Riesling grape juice, gentian root and ginger. Our options for Dry January are pretty appealing.
If that’s the case, Dry January will be the time to implement measures to woo new consumer, be it via social media or other channels for discovery.Ĭanadian-based Partake Brewing is turning out stellar booze-free beers Partake Brewing These are impressive numbers considering that when the movement launched in 2013, only 4,000 people signed up to abstain.Īs the Distill Ventures study has revealed, non-alcoholic brands need to leverage at-home experiences. noted that 6.5 million people globally are expected to take part in Dry January 2021, up from an estimated 3.9 million in 2020.

Search results for ‘Dry January’ are up 25% in the US, and 10% globally between 20, according to Google GOOG. Drinkers are looking to give their body a break after the holiday season and start the year off fresh. Regardless, Dry January will set the pace for year-it’s the non-alcohol world’s Christmas. On the other hand, the way 2021 is going so far, we may need a collective strong drink. and nonalcoholic beer sales went up 44% in the U.S. Nielsen noted sales of low- and no-alcohol alternatives soared 30% in lockdown in the U.K. People reported drinking earlier in the day (26%) and drinking more often (31%). According to Alcohol Change U.K., nearly one-third (29%) of adults surveyed said they drank more in 2020 than previously. On one hand, after over-drinking through 2020, I’m sure people are looking for a reprieve. With that in mind, I’m curious as to how this year will unfold for the category. We have yet to see this in the US, but I expect that is imminent. has seen established spirits brands enter the space, launching no-proof options to match their regular ABV bottlings. (Unsurprising, as it’s the home base for Seedlip, arguably the most popular alcohol substitute available.) is currently ‘the most mature’ market for the NA category, according to the study. Ghia is one of the more intriguing NA options to hit the market recently. Diageo recently acquired a minority stake in Ritual Zero Proof.Į-commerce is a big beacon of success for the category: e-commerce via Amazon, grocery outlets and brand shopping sites has ‘buoyed the segment’ this year, according to Distill Ventures.

Investors are taking notice and non-alcoholic spirits brands are landing top dollar funding. (I’m a martini fan but more than one or two in a sitting will leave me spinning, so I break up my martinis with something low- or no-ABV.) The majority of these drinkers aren’t abstainers: they’re average drinkers just looking to break up their alcohol consumption, whether it’s taking a night off or pacing yourself between drinks. But did we find it? Well let’s just say our little trip to the enchanted forest prompted us to collect the calmer moments of Sobriety in a bottle that says it all.These are relatively minor hurdles for the NA industry-growing pains, if you may.ĭriven by an increased interest in wellness and the expanding selection of no-ABV beverages, 58% of consumers are drinking more non-alcoholic beverages than last year while 61% of consumers want better choices when it comes to NA drinks.

And how could we do all that while staying inside the circle of health and wellness? So we wondered, what makes up an alternative drink that’s good to unwind? How could we make it accessible to all adults facing similar dilemmas. The idea slowly took root and transcended into the deeper spiritual realm of finding inner peace, much like a meditating sea on a quiet day. To bring the first distilled non-alcoholic drink to India while incorporating teachings from our own ancient knowledge systems, distilling organically-grown herbs for their mood-enhancing effects and witnessing the process from start to finish was stupefying. But for us, it was also a rare opportunity to experiment, explore and navigate through the alternative beverage space. Sober may have been born from a feeling of being left out in the absence of enough non-alcoholic beverages for people who didn’t drink, except for a soda or a mocktail of course.
