To kick off Founder Stories, a series about entrepreneurs who are passionately supporting wellness in different ways, Claire Warner, the founder of Æcorn inspires us with her journey into creating non-alcoholic aperitifs.

In this episode, Claire explains why non-alcoholic choices are becoming so popular, how Æcorn came to be and in what ways she navigates her own mental wellness while building a company, often being the only female in the room and leading by example.

A bit about Æcorn:

Æcorn is a brand who have created a range of big, bold and expressive non-alcoholic aperitifs. The drinks combine hand-picked English sparkling wine grapes at its base, and is carefully blended with the eponymous acorn for an added dimension of bitterness. Æcorn’s mission is for everyone to be able to enjoy an apertif regardless of the alcohol content and they are all created with food in mind. With dry January approaching, the brand couldn't be more relevant. Head to their website as they taste Ae-mazing: https://www.aecorndrinks.com/
