What colour is PENTIRE? Both Pentire Adrift and Pentire Seaward are straw coloured liquids. Pentire Coastal Spritz is a deep orange and Pentire Margarita a pale green colour. Some batches are darker than others, and larger bottles may appear darker than the taster bottles, this is normal and part of the pleasure of working with plants! All batches have passed micro-testing so are safe for consumption.

How is PENTIRE made? Our botanical non-alcoholic spirits and cocktails are created by collaborating with local botanists and distillers to make delicious costal, herbaceous and fresh flavour profiles.

What is the shelf life of PENTIRE? 13 months from production. BBE can be found towards the base of your bottle. Store in a cool dry place. Refrigeration not required. Once opened use within 12 weeks.

Pentire makes botanical non-alcoholic spirits by distilling plants native to the North Cornwall headlands. True to the Swiss way of life, Pentire was founded on a love of active outdoor and healthy living.

Is PENTIRE a cordial? No! Pentire is made by distillation which makes it a spirit, and does not contain sugar or sweetener. By comparison, a cordial can be made at home on your hob with sugar.

Is PENTIRE a non-alcoholic gin? Although the distillation process we use is similar to gin, the 2 ingredients that make gin (ethanol and juniper) are not in Pentire. This means Pentire does not taste like gin, but instead is a delicious botanical spirit of its own. We hope you enjoy our flavours from the coast!

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?
