Fun Facts

  • Most NA wines have less than 0.5% alcohol—similar to kombucha!

  • People who want to experience the flavour and feel of wine without the alcohol are showing greater interest in non-alcoholic wine. This includes pregnant women, nursing mothers, designated drivers, calorie counters, prescription medication users, and those who have made a conscious decision to cut down on or avoid drinking altogether.

  • Some people do! While some NA wines may be lighter or fruitier than you may anticipate, many have unexpectedly nuanced flavours and aromas. Since each one is slightly different, it's worth trying a few.
