The Best Non-Alcoholic Drinks In Australia

If you’ve decided to have a bit of time off the booze, congratulations!

Making the decision to implement a big change like this is sometimes the hardest part, and we’re here to be as helpful as we can as you embark on your short or long-term booze-free journey.

Reducing our alcohol consumption is great for our health – it reduces weight gain, bad sleep and skin, mood drops and lifestyle-related diseases – but refraining from drinking can sometimes get a little depressing.

What are some popular non-alcoholic drinks in Australia?

Leading non-alcoholic wine alternative, NON, is one company creating these exceptional liquids.

In fact, NON’s founder, Aaron Trotman, was among the first commercial producers to adopt a culinary approach to the non-alcoholic category; merging techniques and ingredients found within fine-dining kitchens.

“We focus less on what was taken away – the alcohol – and more on the level of experimentation this allows,” Trotman says. “No one in the world is cooking natural produce and turning that into craft beverages the way NON is. Ultimately, I think this is the future of the beverage industry.”

NON was born in 2019 and today, it has a delicious range of seven different flavours that are made with extreme commitment to innovation and creativity. Currently, you can buy them at NON World, Just Wines, David Jones and countless local bottle shops.

To make the tasting experience even better, NON is also offering intimate tours of its headquarters. Tours take place on the first Friday of every month and conclude with a delish food pairing session, accompanied by all seven of NON’s flavoured drinks.
