Food & Drink,
While there’s something so divine about cozying up with a glass of wine at the end of a long day, there’s nothing cute about a wine hangover—but what if we told you there was a way to sip away your stress without fear of repercussions?
Just as breweries and distilleries have stepped up their game on nonalcoholic beer and spirits, the world of wineries has learned to embrace the art of NA wine. That means you can abstain from the booze without giving up on the communal feeling of drinking with friends and family, or just slip a glass of nonalcoholic stuff between glasses of the real thing so you know you aren’t overdoing it.

Jøyus

Toast to this award-winning nonalcoholic wine that packs all the flavor of full alcohol wine without any of the alcoholic drawbacks. Jøyus stood up to the competition in a blind wine tasting, taking home double gold, gold, silver and bronze medals, according to the company’s website. It doesn’t take a professional critic to realize Jøyus wines are worth buying in bulk, though. The brand makes a cabernet sauvignon, a rose, and sparkling white and roses. We’re super into the sparkling rose, which is great for any boozy-ish brunch or after-work wind-down. It brings the celebratory spirit to every sip, and you can have the whole bottle to yourself if you so wish.
St. Regis

Made from the same European grapes as some of the finest full-alcohol wines, St. Regis’ mix of NA wines, mocktails and spritzes is a real treat. There are four varietals and three bubblies to choose from, including a brut Champagne, chardonnay, kir royal, secco, and cabernet sauvignon. We enjoy the Shiraz Rosé, with its raspberry pink color and zero added sugars. It’s fruity and fun, with a light body and 60 calories per serving.
Sovi Wines
A nonalcoholic wine that brings the dry bite of the real thing? That’s what Sovi fans rave about, and that’s what the company’s founders—who bring a combined 20 years of wine industry experience to the table—spend so much time perfecting. These grapes are certified sustainable and carefully distilled to remove the alcohol but leave the taste and mouthfeel. Served in bottles or eco-friendly cans, Sovi wines come in Chenin Blanc, Reserve Red, sparkling white, a red blend, or a sparkling rosé blend. Combos packs and mixed packs are also available.

Johannes Leitz has been crafting fine vintages of full-alcohol wines since the early ‘80s, and he took over the Leitz Wein company and gave it his namesake in 1999. In 2007, he took the brand further and released the first Leitz Eins Zwei Zero wines, making a mark in the NA space way before it was trendy. Today, the Zwei Zero line offers a nonalcoholic pinot noir, white riesling, sparkling riesling, sparkling rosé, chardonnay, and sparkling blanc de blancs. In fact, the Leitz Eins Zwei Zero Riesling was named the best overall NA wine by liquor.com, so it’s a great place to start.
Thomson & Scott’s Noughty
“It doesn’t have to be alcohol to be rock’n’roll." So says Noughty founder Amanda Thomson, a woman on a mission to bring top-quality sips with absolutely no drawbacks. Launched in 2019, Noughy is a B-Corp certified producer of NA sparkling wines that are also organic, vegan, halal and low sugar. Noughty puts just as much emphasis on being good to the planet and the greater human community, so you can enjoy every ounce of these bubbly chardonnays, rosés and rouges without any threat of hangover or karmic debt. Taste these Export Champion London award-winners for yourself.
Ariel
It's true that NA wines are more popular now than ever before, and that might have something to do with the work Ariel has put into the space. Founded in 1985, the company went up against full alcohol brands at the 1986 Los Angeles County Fair and took home the Gold Medal, full stop. Ariel has only continued to grow strong, standing its own among the alcoholic crowd while blazing a trail for NA wineries across the decades. Putting quality over quantity, Ariel serves a simple duo of white and red; a chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon, respectively.

California has always been a leader in the healthy lifestyle curve. Surely, it's approach to NA wine would be no different. All puns aside, Surely does source its grapes from the California coast and treats them to a traditional fermentation process, then dealcoholizes the wine. This vino aims to remove the stigma around the dry lifestyle, and to help you find your favorite vintage, Surely offers a friendly wine quiz. Whatever your menu or preference, there’s a bottle or can of Surely that will fit the vibe. Try the sparkling rosé, brut, sauvignon blanc, or sparkling white. There’s even a canned bubbly red, which is something you don’t see every day—surely.
Château De Fleur Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Wine
One of the bestselling nonalcoholic wines on Amazon, Château De Fleur’s sparkling wine is made in California with a French perspective. It’s crafted by Weibel Vineyards from French Colombard grapes, whose juice has been slightly sweetened and naturally carbonated. It brings a crisp and refreshing taste with notes of apple and peach, creating a sip that’s grand on its own or perfect for NA mimosas.
