Leading the way in the alcohol-free movement is Earlsmann VINE, a Devon-based producer crafting premium, naturally alcohol-free drinks inspired by classic wine styles.

Unlike de-alcoholised wines, which start life as wine before having the alcohol removed, these drinks are never fermented. Instead, they are carefully created from the ground up to deliver balance, structure, and complexity - resulting in a genuinely satisfying alternative for those choosing not to drink alcohol.

Whether driven by health, lifestyle, or simply a desire for choice, more people are looking for drinks that feel just as considered as a glass of wine, but without the alcohol. The challenge has been finding options that aren’t too sweet or lacking in depth, which is something Earlsmann VINE set out to address.

The results have already gained recognition. At the Taste of the West Awards, the range received a Gold award for its Grenache Blush-style drink and Silver for its New Zealand-inspired white... and customers are loving Earslmann at tastings, with around one in three people who try the drinks going on to buy a bottle or two.

The Steamer Coffee House and Kitchen, known for its commitment to local produce and quality ingredients, has recently added Earlsmann VINE to its offering. It's also available online from www.earlsmann.store
