Delicious Drops to Get You Through Dry (or Dry-ish) January
No and lower alcohol options to keep you going until February
Whether you’re going the full hog with dry January or ‘trying to be good’, we have some delicious drops to help you through:
‘Sharp’ and its bubbly pink sister, ‘Spark’, are 0.5% alc new additions to the Drop range. Forget compromising on taste with low and no-alcohol wines; these new drops are unique blends of unusual juices and aromatics that deliver the complexity and acidity of wine, without the fuzzy-head.
Rakete is a lighter red, in alcohol (11.5%) and style from Austria. Drink it with non-creamy fish dishes, or enjoy chilled on its own.
Or try crisp, citrus, slightly fizzy, Pequenos Rebentos from cool Atlantic Vinho Verde, which comes in at 11.5% abv.
All wines are available on the Drop Delivery App or in any of our shops and bars
SHARP
WHAT: White wine alternative 0.5% ABV £19
PRODUCER: Three Spirit team: Henrietta Lovall from Rate Tea Company, food scientist Dr Johnny Drain, Alex Hurley from London Cru and DC Williamson farmers.
WHERE: Sunny England
WHY: A racy number with a herbal, refreshing palate: a cold brew blend of koreset and manuka leaf, gooseberry juice, fermented apricot and grape juice and botanticals, finished with a touch of spritz. A serious non-alcoholic drink.
SPARK
WHAT: Sparkling pink rosé alternative £19
PRODUCER: Three Spirit team: Henrietta Lovall from Rate Tea Company, food scientist Dr Johnny Drain, Alex Hurley from London Cru and DC Williamson farmers.
WHERE: England
WHY: Lively pink fizz. On the nose are bright aromas of fresh strawberry, green vines and delicate tea. All complemented with bright acidity and silky bubbles.
RAKETE, AUSTRIA
WHAT: Light Austrian red from Kahlenbberg, Austria. Zweigelt, St Laurent, Baluburger, Merlot blend. 11.5% ABV. £28.50
PRODUCER: Jutta Ambrositsch left her job as a graphic designer in 2005 to pursue her ambition of making traditional ‘Gemischter Satz’ wines - planting a range of varietals and fermenting them all together, creating a focus on terroir like no other.
WHERE: Vienna, or at least its environs.
WHY: Light, crisp red with bright fruits and plenty of zing.
PEQUENOS REBENTOS
WHAT: Vinho Verde (meaning ‘green wine’), £17
PRODUCER: Marcio Lopes is a disciple of Portugese legend, Anselmo Mendes. He’s one for minimal intervention winemaking, delivering wines that are clean, tight and extremely good.
WHERE: Vinho Verde, Portugal - renowned for cool Atlantic breezes that rush in at night, creating an even ripening environment.
WHY: Crisp, citrus and slightly fizzy young wine. As lively and zippy as they come.
