Noughty Alcohol-free Sparkling Chardonnay ($40)
Ring in the end of 2021 with some bubbly. This wholesome libation from Noughty comes with all the fizzy sweetness, but none of the naughty side effects. Organic, vegan chardonnay has been de-alcoholised, and each pour comes with just half the regular sugar content (just 2.9g of sugar per 100ml, and under 14 calories per glass).
Lucky Saint Lager ($4.50)
Where else can you find a beer that contains the same amount of alcohol as a banana? At only 0.5 percent ABV, you can quaff down bottles of this without having to worry about getting a hangover. Nor need you fret over compromised taste; Lucky Saint Lager boasts a refreshingly crisp and citrus-like finish.
Ara Zero Sauvignon Blanc ($35)
Full-strength wine is first used as a base. The alcohol is then distilled away, leaving behind all the classic flavours of a dry Sauvignon Blanc that everyone loves. The result: crisp, dry, with notes of herbs and grapefruit. No hangover means you can definitely reach for seconds – even thirds.
Altina craft cocktails (from $7.50)
You can easily enjoy booze-free cocktails straight from a can. And the best part: these drinks are sugar-free, too. Australia-based brand Altina works in organic and native ingredients into the drink-making process to create options that include Light Me Up, made with wattleseed to lend pleasant nuttiness, then mixed with notes of apple and green tea; or the La Vie En Rose suffused with floral aroma of hibiscus and rose petals.
