NON unveils latest 0.0% red wine alternative

Just in time for winter roasts and long lunches, NON has launched its most food-focused release to date, a 0.0% red wine alternative – NON9 Oaked Blackberry & Plum.

NON9 is a chilled, full-flavoured red wine alternative with zero alcohol, real ingredients, and enough structure to stand up to steak.

Made at NON’s Melbourne headquarters using culinary methods typically reserved for fine dining, NON9 Oaked Blackberry & Plum brings together blackberry, Stanley plum, tamari, French oak, fir pine and Victorian Shiraz grape skins to create a layered non-alcoholic red wine alternative with savoury depth, firm tannins and a long, dry finish.

NON founder Aaron Trotman said, “Everyone’s been searching for a non-alc red that holds up to food - something with grip, complexity and actual flavour.

“This isn’t wine without alcohol. It’s a new experience, built from the ground up.”

The release meets growing demand for high-quality non-alcoholic options in Australia. With NON9 Oaked Blackberry & Plum, NON offers a 0.0% solution that delivers the full flavour, structure and food-pairing potential of a red wine.

NON head of beverage, Nick Cozens said, “NON is a wine alternative that is built like a fine dining dish. We’ve applied culinary techniques to create something that serves the wine occasion.”

Best served chilled in a wine glass, NON9 Oaked Blackberry & Plum pairs well with steak, ragù or flame-grilled vegetables.
