In recent years, alongside non-alcoholic white wine, rosé wine, and sparkling wine, a fascinating movement has established itself in the world of beverages in gastronomy - the increasing popularity of mocktails. These non-alcoholic cocktails are not just a passing trend but have become a permanent fixture in beverage culture. The term "mocktail" combines "mock" (to imitate) and "cocktail," perfectly describing these delicious drinks that offer all the sophistication and flavors of a traditional cocktail without alcohol. In an era where conscious consumption and diversity are valued, mocktails are the answer to the ever-growing demands of modern beverage enthusiasts.

Non-alcoholic beers, wines (especially white wine and rosé), and spirits are also gaining popularity. This rising trend is having a positive impact on customer purchasing behavior, as they are now increasingly looking for places that can offer high-quality non-alcoholic drinks.

Especially alcohol-free wines are no longer exclusively associated with cheap mass-produced products. Premium categories are gaining importance as manufacturers use high-quality ingredients and elaborate production methods to appeal to more discerning consumers. Additionally, producers are increasingly experimenting with unconventional grape blends and flavors to expand the spectrum of alcohol-free wines. Moreover, the sustainability factor is not overlooked in the zero segment: the demand for biodynamic and natural products is also reflected in the world of alcohol-free wines. Producers are increasingly focusing on sustainable practices and minimal use of additives. This includes sustainable cultivation practices as well as the use of environmentally friendly packaging materials.

Traditional wine regions and wineries are responding to the growing trend of alcohol-free beverages by increasingly incorporating them into their portfolios. Some even produce special alcohol-free wines, while others de-alcoholize traditional wines to offer a more diverse range of flavor options. The use of special yeasts and fermentation methods further contributes to the development of a broader flavor spectrum.
