Mindful Drinking & Moderation in Midlife: How to Drink Less, On Your Terms

#95. Alcohol-Free Wine vs AF Beer: It's Not a Fair Fight


Listen Later

Hey, let's text đŸ€—

This week, I'm diving into the thorny topic of alcohol-free wine and why we need to stop whining about it.

Whilst I'm not claiming it's perfect yet, the constant negativity isn't helping anyone.

I explore why alcohol-free wine faces unique challenges compared to the meteoric rise of AF beer, from centuries of tradition to higher production costs, and why these passionate producers deserve our support rather than our scorn.

It's time to approach alcohol-free wine with curiosity instead of cruelty, give it the same trial-and-error approach we gave full-strength wines, and help shape its future through constructive feedback rather than writing off an entire category.
