(This Is Not Alcohol) – Is A Luxury Non-Alcoholic Beverage Cousins Imogen Hayes and Christina Trabucco in Australia, have succeeded in creating a complex, savoury beverage brimming with flavour for the no/low alcohol market. In a post-pandemic, pro-wellness world, it’s unsurprising that people are beginning to consume less alcohol. As a result, the appeal of non-alcoholic and low-ABV beverages is on the rise.
