On a sober-curious quest to find the pleasure of that first glass of champagne, in an alcohol-free version, I drank more musty flavoured fizz, elderflower cordial, and sparkling tea than you can shake a mint leaf at. Don't get me wrong, I'm British and I love tea, but the experience of drinking tea is not the same as drinking champagne.
So, after 2 years of searching and inevitably learning all about the art of dealcoholized wine and other alcohol removed beverages, I finally found what I consider to be the world's best alcohol-free fine wine. (Don't just take my word for it. Thomson & Scott Noughty is becoming a global sensation and renowned wine critics such as jancisrobinson.com have named Noughty the “best alternative to champagne” too).
Fortunately for you fine folk, since I grew up with siblings, and learnt how to share, I decided to help others discover a new way of drinking by sharing my best finds from the wonderful world of non-alcoholic adult alternatives. VE Refinery started with a Noughty find and is now transforming the way that Switzerland drinks sip by sip.
