New Zealand distillery The Fine People has launched its new non-alcohol drink range, Finery 0% cocktails to join the fast-paced growing market of no-alcohol drinks. 

The Fine People have used a blend of distilled extracts, tinctures and natural flavours such as fruit juices with tea to create a collection of zero-alcohol cocktails. 

The flavours of the new range include grapefruit cucumber and mint, ginger, green tea, honey, mint and lemon, vanilla and elderflower, lemon myrtle, lime and black tea. 

“With more people looking for non-alcoholic drink options than ever before, we wanted to of-fer a delicious drink without the sugary calories often associated with non-alcoholic drinks. By removing the alcohol content we’ve made it even healthier than before, ensuring non-drink-ers get to enjoy the taste of the original Finery, without the calories associated with alcohol,” said Jane Allan co-founder of The Fine People. 

The cocktails are made free from sugar, carbohydrates, gluten and preservatives.

The flavours of the new range include grapefruit cucumber and mint, ginger, green tea, honey, mint and lemon, vanilla and elderflower, lemon myrtle, lime and black tea. 

Finery 0% is available in a four pack from Dan Murphy’s for RRP $15.95. 

Packaging News

New European rules on generic environmental claims have prompted the Australasian Bioplastics Association to warn that packaging carrying poorly substantiated claims could be marketed in Australia.

Australia's environment ministers have declared packaging reform urgent and named soft plastics as an initial priority, but offered no firm timetable or regulatory commitments. SPSA has welcomed the soft plastics focus, while Boomerang Alliance and WMRR have raised concerns about the lack of concrete action.

Economic analysis commissioned by SPSA estimates national recycling reforms could deliver up to $278m in net productivity gains and stimulate up to $2.6b in capital investment each year.
