For a nation founded on alcohol, with rum as its very first currency, it’s a shock to hear that Australia’s fastest growing drinks category is now non-alcoholic wine.
Worth last year more than $4.5 million, the category is becoming so popular and expanding so rapidly, at an annual rate of 800 per cent, its value could be as big as $15 million by the end of 2021, according to global data company IRI.

“It is a trend that shows no signs of wavering . driven by a global trend toward mindfulness and health and wellness,” says Scott Burton, marketing director of Australian Vintage Ltd, which in 2019 launched its non-alcoholic McGuigan Zero wine range that now includes a sparkling, sauvignon blanc, rosé, chardonnay and shiraz.

During a Black Lives Matter protest in Downtown Pittsburgh on May 30, 2020, Pittsburgh Police fired a less-lethal projectile either a rubber bullet, a bean bag, or a sponge round at Horell, striking him in the face. Horell, who lives in Pittsburgh s Morningside neighborhood, believes it was a rubber bullet, after initially thinking it was a beanbag. “I really distinctly remember being hit, that is what I really remember,” says Horell, who says he blacked out momentarily after being struck by the object. “Then I remember people shouting ‘Man down!’ and not realizing that it was about me. I remember people looking at my face coming to, like they were looking at a dead person. That is a pretty vivid memory.”
