Health is a nationwide concern about the demand for sake tanks, so a small number of vintner and distillery have introduced ultra -low alcohol wine and spirits. And the liquor in New York signs up to test products.
In December, Brooklyn, headquartered in St. Agres Stis, introduced Fony 1 Proof Negronon. This is a lady drink cocktail, which is only 0.5 % alcohol, and is usually a mixture of 24 % of alcohol mixed with a bartender, which is usually 48. Jin, Vermott, Campari.
It was one of the best -selling non -alcoholic beverages in Japan after St. Agestis launched the original Zero Alcohol's fake Negron in 2022. Question: More than 12 states nationwide do not allow liquor stores to sell zero alcohol drinks. New York is also in it.
New York is one of the 15 states that, according to the US Distilled Spirits Council, wine and liquor stores have not allowed non -alcoholic beer, wine and spirits.
“We received many calls from retailers [Phony Negroni] And we thought that one proof version was a good solution to diversify the choice in the law parameter. ” Louis Catizone, a co -founder of Agrestis, told The Post.
The Empire State is one of the 10 states that grocery stores do not allow wine and sake. This is a law that has been in place since the ban, and has been used by a liquor store in New York to protect the turf violently.
Currently, a liquor in New York is focusing on the stalls created by the State Sake Authorities under Governor Andrew Kuomo in 2019 to avoid restrictions on selling non -alcoholic beverages. Alcohol drinks containing 0.5 % alcohol for each volume or ABV.
“0.5 % ABV was a long -standing practice that wasn't really important because nobody thought about selling wine with low alcohol,” said New York's alcoholic license Max Bookman. I did it. “But now, it's suddenly relevant.”
In the case of fake one -Negron, Katzone said that it would launch prior to the Dry January, a ritual of abstinence of sake. Ten retailers, including Aster Wines & Spirits, Brooklyn Wine Exchange, and Amaro Spirits & Wine, are participating in what Catizone calls the pilot program.
“I don't know how much demand is for very low ALC products,” she acknowledged, and added, “It's too early to know how one evidence is doing it.” 。
In fact, this January was particularly cruel for a liquor store in New York, Steven, the owner of Brooklyn's Amarospiritz & Wine.
“We have reached the latest January, but the next few months are looking for a no -alcoholic product,” FROMHART said to the post.
It is highly likely that US surgeon warnings were not helped by the US surgeon warning that the US surgeon warning was associated with the increase in cancer risk.
The owner of Michael Colera -Brooklyn's Town Wine & Spirits is also an executive director of the Metropolitan Package Store Association, a liquor store. 。
“In the past five years, my sales have decreased by 25 %.
Last summer, Cholera began selling protecco with only 0.7 % alcohol with Mionet, a popular Italian sparkling wine maker. MIONETTO ONE is considered to be the first proof product by major producers.
TOWNE WINES sold three or more MIONETTA cases in December, and Correra ordered another five cases.
Italian companies have stated that MIONETTA ONE was specially created to deal with the New York market.
“The wine store is exploring other states that cannot sell 0 % alcoholic products,” said the MIONETTO NORTH America CEO, Enore CEOLA, told the post. “In addition to these states, it is also sold in Ontario. This has the same law as New York.”
According to NIQ, the sale of alcohol has stagnated after the rapid increase in 2020 during the 2020 pandemic, and after the rapid increase in 2020, a total of $ 112.9 billion in 2024. On the other hand, after 32 % of a year ago, non -alcoholic beer, wine, and spirit demand increased 27 % to $ 829.2 million.
At present, some producers are stepping on ultra -low alcohol niches, as the drinks containing alcohol may be better. In November, Rachel Martin, a vintner based in New York, introduced 3.5 % of Sillers (the first 3.5 % Siller) under her Oceanowin label.
Martin considered one certificate chiller, but eventually settled to 3.5 % ABV and improved the taste of the product. This is sold for $ 60.
“This is an unknown territory, and there are most people in it,” she said.
According to the wine maker innovation director Duncan Shorner, Gesen in New Zealand, one of the lowest and one of the zero alcohol producers, also considers 1 % proof wine.
“The idea behind a 1 % wine is to come up with a product with a great flavor and aroma. This looks very close to normal wines.” Solar said in the post.
Unlike non -alcoholic wine, he points out that 1 % proof wine can be sold at a state with restricted laws.
“This is an opportunity for 1 % ABV wine to succeed in states such as New York,” said Shorler.
Last year, Michel Hinchy, a member of the Senator New York, introduced a bill, a liquor store, and its sellers to sell the non -alcoholic version of alcoholic beverages. This bill is strongly opposed by supermarkets and convenience stores.
“We have accepted low alcohol as a compromise until NY SLA. [State Liquor Authority] Please do not sell alcohol products, “says HART.
