Modern wedding parties give equal consideration to non-alcoholics and alcoholics - both in drinks and guests.
One of the hallmarks of a modern wedding is non-alcoholic drinks the growing role of non-alcoholic beverages in beverage offerings. More and more wedding couples are opting for a partially or completely non-alcoholic line for their celebrations. Statistics show that one in four wedding guests skip alcohol altogether, and up to 26% of European wedding couples do not drink alcohol at all. A non-alcoholic wedding drink represents a modern, conscious and respectful celebration tradition.
Why are more and more people choosing a non-alcoholic wedding drink?
Today's party people don't just drink to get drunk. They expect a drink to taste, quality and experience - whether it's a percentage or not. There are many reasons: health, sleep and recovery, pregnancy, medication, lifestyle or religion. More and more people also want to experience life sober. In addition, awareness of the harmful effects of alcohol has increased.
Combining non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages is becoming more common
The new normal is to rotate according to the situation. Non-alcoholic wines, mocktails and quality 0% sparkling wines are now as much a part of the party culture as alcoholic drinks. This "mixing" reflects a flexible and modern approach to celebrations. Everyone is allowed to choose what feels good - without explanation. Those who choose alcohol are also allowed to have a non-alcoholic intermediate drink when they feel like it, without stigma.
Non-alcoholic sparkling wine as part of a wedding reception
Quality non-alcoholic sparkling wine and non-alcoholic still wine are now an important part of the festive table. They are used to build thoughtful ensembles, just like wines and champagnes in general. Dry and refreshing non-alcoholic sparkling wine has emerged as a favourite for modern wedding receptions - sweet old-fashioned alternatives are being left behind as lighter, elegant, authentic wine flavours take their place. Vegan, halal and sugar-free options are also important to consider for a variety of celebrations today.
