Truth & Transparency

Consumers need to know what they are consuming. As a company, Thomson & Scott is leading the way in demanding that the wine industry becomes more transparent about both its labelling and what goes into the bottle.

APRTF was launched in 2020 by friends Alexandra & Emma. APRTF was born as a result of the pandemic, which provided an opportunity for both Emma and Alex to reflect on their lifestyle and work/life balance. Alexandra and Emma believe in moderation and wanted to make an alternative drink for the health consicious, mindful drinker, pregnant women, designated drivers and people wanting more balance in life.

APRTF is a non alcoholic alternative to Campari and works well in both no and low cocktails. APRTF can be used as a non-alcoholic Negroni serve when mixed with a non-alcoholic gin or as a Spritz, when topped up with non-alcoholic sparkling wine, such as NOUGHTY Sparkling Chardonnay. Distilled in Monmouthshire, UK by a non-alcoholic distillery, APRTF carries the natural, vibrant and tart taste of cranberries, perfectly balanced with orange and wormwood.

Why did you create VE Refinery?
On a sober curious quest to find a flavoursome, alcohol free, adult experience our founder, Victoria was left feeling uninspired by the lack of sophisticated options, so she decided to do something about it! VE Refinery was established to bring the finest of alcohol-free, to the Swiss table, with zero compromise on taste or style. Our thoughtfully crafted, adult, alcohol-free selection tastes good and does good. VE Refinery is not an anti-alcohol movement. We're here to change attitudes towards socialising and celebration by offering elegant alcohol free alternative with zero compromise on taste, and therefore establish a new equilibrium. Our carefully selected non-alcoholic beverages are best savoured slowly.

Will VE Refinery be offering other alcohol free products?
Yes indeed! In addition to expanding our alcohol free NOUGHTY range with a still NOUGHTY ROUGE, ROSÉ and BLANC in the coming months, we'll be introducing a range of other non-alcoholic beverages, all with the same brand values and promise. Sign up to our newsletter to find out when our new bottles drop (not literally!)

Does VE Refinery deliver outside of Switzerland?
Currently VE Refinery is serving the Swiss market exclusively. We do not deliver outside of Switzerland & Liechtenstein.
