Victoria Watters is the co-founder of Dry Atlas, a media platform dedicated to alcohol alternatives. She is also one-half of the driving force behind Spirited Away – America's first non-alcoholic bottle shop. Victoria and her husband, Douglas, launched their bottle shop in November 2020 and have never looked back!

This week, we’re chatting about Victoria's insights on the evolution of non-alcoholic drinks – from the improving technology in de-alcoholised wines to the emergence of THC-infused beverages in the US, how the industry is moving from sober curiosity to ‘flex drinking’, and where celebrity brands are getting it right, and wrong, in the low/no space.
