Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as an alcohol free drink?
Alcohol free drinks are designed to offer the taste and experience of beer, wine, spirits or cocktails with little or no alcohol. The range now includes everything from craft beer and sparkling wine to aperitifs, botanical spirits and ready-to-drink cocktails.
Do alcohol free drinks contain any alcohol?
Some do. In the UK, drinks labelled "alcohol free" may contain up to 0.05% ABV, while others described as "de-alcoholised" can contain up to 0.5% ABV. If you need to avoid alcohol completely, it's always worth checking the label.
Do alcohol free drinks taste like the real thing?
More than ever before. Improvements in brewing, winemaking and distillation mean today's alcohol free beers, wines and spirits are far more convincing than they were just a few years ago. While they aren't identical, many now offer the same balance, bitterness and complexity as their alcoholic counterparts.
What alcohol free drinks do you stock?
Our range includes alcohol free beer, wine, cider, spirits and aperitifs from producers we genuinely enjoy drinking. We focus on bottles that deliver plenty of flavour rather than simply being alcohol free.
Are alcohol free drinks lower in calories?
Many are, although it depends on the drink. Alcohol free beer and wine are often lower in calories than their alcoholic equivalents, but it's always worth checking the label as sugar levels can vary between producers.
Why choose alcohol free drinks?
People choose alcohol free drinks for all sorts of reasons, whether they're driving, taking a break from alcohol, cutting back or simply looking for something different to enjoy. Whatever the reason, there's now far more choice than ever before.
