Raise a glass to a month of moderation and read on to discover some of the zero to low-alcohol options on Liquor Barons shelves.

 

 

Beers

Bring on the alcohol-free beers with Gage Roads Yeah Bouy XPA. This bad bouy is a 0% Extra Pale Ale that delivers a punch of tropical fruit flavors and a crisp finish. Let this non-alcoholic gem transport you to a hoppy paradise, even without the beer buzz.

Heaps Normal Quiet XPA is unfiltered and packed with refreshing tropical and citrus flavour. With a balanced bitterness and a subtle, malt sweetness, it satisfies the same as a regular beer…if not better!

James Squire Zero is crisp and light, with a grainy malt base and hints of floral hop notes. Much like their alcoholic beers, their Zero option is crisp and clean with well-balanced flavours. With 2.1 grams of sugar and just 70 calories per bottle, it’s on the lighter side of alcohol-free lagers.

Heineken 0% is another non-alcoholic beer option that delivers the same crisp and clean taste as its alcoholic counterpart, ensuring you can still enjoy that classic Heineken flavour without the guilt.

 

 

Wine

Wine aficionados, rejoice! The world of alcohol-free wines has seriously stepped up its game, bringing you a selection of elegant and sophisticated drops, filled with flavour.

McGuigan Zero De Alco Sauvignon Blanc is as close as it gets to the real deal, with generous gooseberry and citrus fruit aromas. It’s crisp and refreshing, with hints of passionfruit, lime and subtle grassy notes.

Fizzero No Alcohol Sparkling Rosé brings bittersweet notes of sparkling grape juice and premium tea infusion, creating a textured finish with lots of carbonation. It’s vibrant, refreshing and an overall pleasant surprise on the palate. 

Fizzero No Alcohol Sparkling White holds delicately balanced sparkling fermented grape juice with premium green tea. The resulting concoction is refreshing and bubbly fizz, with a fruity finish that’s not too sweet for any tart favouring tastebuds.
