Union Square | Exploring the World of Low & No Alcohol Beverage
April 12 2025 | 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM13 E. 13th Street, New York, NY 10003
Join us for an informative and exploratory class on low and no alcohol beverages. Even as recently as 5 years ago, if we were a designated driver, had a big presentation the next morning, wanted to take it easy at dinner, or any of the other reasons you might choose to consume no or little alcohol, non-alcoholic beverages were relegated to the "kids table" of drinks, soda, sparkling water, or sugary fruit juices. Not so today. A world of non alcoholic and low alcohol beverages has opened up. These beverages are anything but kids drinks, sophisticated N/A cocktails, quality N/A wines from top producers, and craft cocktails utilizing lower ABV spirits (think Sherry, Vermouth!) to create second round worthy cocktails, that stave off the guilt of having "one too many".
But how are these products made? We'll explore the most common ways NA beverages are made, from technical ways to remove alcohol such as reverse osmosis and spinning cone, to how grapes are being grown in the vineyard to reduce alcohol levels in wines. While our focus will be on grape beverages, we'll touch on other beverages such as beer and spirits. You'll come away with an understanding and appreciation of this category, and how to incorporate them into your lifestyle.
PLEASE NOTE: This class will include both non-alcoholic beverages, and also low alcoholic beverages. Alcohol will be consumed.
