5 Reasons to enjoy de-alcoholised wine

De-alcoholised wines are at the top of everyone’s must-Google list right now, and with good reason – it’s the trend that keeps on trending! From sober-curious Gen Z trendsetters, to folks who simply like to keep it clean so they can live their best lives, there are many reasons why zero-alc wines are enjoying an extended stay in the limelight.

Here are five excellent reasons to enjoy Van Loveren Almost Zero and Absolute Zero this season:

1. Feeling fresh the morning after

When you have a big day the next day, or simply want to feel fresh when you get up after a night out or in with your mates, de-alcoholised wine is a great way to go. You get to have a bunch of fun, and the next day you are still ready to tackle that presentation or hop on your bike to hit the trails without any lingering side effects.

2. Keeping things clean

Not everyone is well suited to drinks that contain alcohol. Some don’t like the way it makes them feel, while others prefer non-alc wines are a better option for them. Whatever the case may be, Almost Zero and Absolutely Zero provide these fine humans with a grown-up drink option that looks fancier than a soda or a smoothie.

3. Staying on the right side of the law

In South Africa, alcoholic beverages are not allowed in public spaces like parks and on beaches. As such, it’s great to take along a bottle of Almost Zero or Absolutely Zero when you will be clinking in public.

4. Staying hydrated

Since alcohol is a diuretic (very simply, something that makes you go to the loo more often), it can be a bit of a hurdle if you’re trying to stay hydrated. De-alcoholised wine, on the other hand, is not.

5. Inclusive enjoyment

There are many reasons why people in your family or group of friends may be steering clear of alcohol and having an inclusive beverage option like Almost Zero and Absolutely Zero on offer makes the circle bigger.

The full range is available online at www.almostzero.co.za as well as SELECTED Pick ‘n Pay’s, Checkers, Spar and Food Lover’s Market.
