The initiative of Dry January, where participants commit to not consuming alcohol throughout the month of January, perfectly illustrates this underlying trend and is gaining popularity every year.

Why drink alcohol-free beverages ?

There are many reasons why new people are choosing every day to consume alcohol more moderately, or even to abstain completely, even if only for a defined period.

Less but better

The concept of quality over quantity is becoming established in our culture. We now prefer to enjoy beverages or products of higher quality, but in smaller amounts. Wine and spirits producers have clearly understood this and are increasingly offering premium cuvées while moving towards more environmentally and human-friendly production methods (organic bottles, biodynamics etc.).

Alcohol-free options for better health

The pursuit of physical and mental well-being is often a key motivation when someone chooses an alcohol-free beverage.Reducing or stopping alcohol consumption indeed contributes to  better overall health,  improved sleep quality , and  increased energy.

In this respect, non-alcoholic beverages offer an ideal alternative for those who wish to take care of themselves without giving up the social and enjoyable aspects of convivial moments such as the aperitif!

The growing awareness of the caloric impact of alcoholic beverages is encouraging many people to turn to alcohol-free alternatives. Non-alcoholic drinks indeed offer the possibility to enjoy interesting and flavorful products without being affected by the calories associated with alcohol.

The great diversity of non-alcoholic beverages

The world of non-alcoholic drinks and products extends far beyond simple fruit juices and sodas like Tonic or Ginger Beer. Producers have now developed refined alternatives to satisfy the discerning palates of consumers. Here is an overview of the main categories of non-alcoholic beverages.

Non-alcoholic wine

Non-alcoholic wine has gained a lot of popularity in recent years.Undergoing a dealcoholization process, it comes in all colors : white, red or rosé, and generally features a simple aromatic profile with fruity notes. In France, quality is clearly improving and the range is becoming extensive, with brands like French Bloom or Le Petit Béret gaining prominence.

Alcohol-free sparkling wines

Although they cannot be called “ Champagne” due to regulations, it is nevertheless entirely possible to produce alcohol-free sparkling wines ! These are crafted to preserve the sparkling and festive characteristics of traditional sparkling wines and offer a perfect alternative for celebrations and joyful events. French Bloom is the most well-known brand in this category, but we recommend the Tempera brand, which stands out for its quality.

Alcohol-free beer is another refreshing alternative for those who prefer to avoid alcohol.A great many breweries now offer alcohol-free beers, preserving the malty and hoppy flavors while removing the alcohol through various brewing and evaporation methods.

Fruity notes and spicy aromas are present in this type of beer, making it particularly refreshing and light.

The category of alcohol-free spirits has expanded considerably in recent years, now offering alcohol-free alternatives to classic spirits such as whisky,  gin or even rum. These beverages are often crafted by infusing herbs, spices, or fruits, and offer flavors reminiscent of traditional spirits.

Some drinks also choose to go beyond simply imitating classic spirits, offering their own unique and original aromatic profiles.
