Sober October has a way of raising one question pretty quickly: what are we drinking instead?
If you love the ritual of wine, the pour, the glass, the moment at the end of the day, you shouldn't have to give that up for a month. So when Raising the Bar invited Giesen 0% to be part of their first wine-focused Sober October box, we said yes straight away.
Meet The New Vintage
The New Vintage Non-Alcoholic Wine Kit was put together by Raising the Bar with Sarah Kate of Some Good Clean Fun, a sober sommelier and a trusted voice in zero-proof wine. It's a proper tour of what non-alcoholic wine can be right now.
Inside the box:
- Giesen 0% Spritz Sauvignon Blanc
- Giesen 0% Spritz Rosé
- Tomorrow Cellars Red Blend (750ml)
- Wander + Found Sparkling Cuvée Blanc (375ml)
- Bark & Bitter Overtly Orange Bitters
- Two Sanpellegrino Zero Lemonade
- Four House of Citrus dehydrated orange wheels
A California red, a German sparkling, two New Zealand spritzes, plus the bitters and garnishes to dress them up.
Our part: two cans of Giesen 0% Spritz
We're a partner in this box, and we're proud to be the only wine-based ready-to-drink in it.
Giesen 0% Spritz is light, refreshing and lightly sparkling, ready to sip straight from the can. It comes in two styles, Sauvignon Blanc and Rosé, and you'll find one of each in the kit. Each can has 60 calories and less than 0.5% ABV.
Chill them, crack them open, or pour over ice with one of those orange wheels. No corkscrew, no half-finished bottle in the fridge.
Why a kit like this is worth a look
You get to taste before you commit. Non-alcoholic wine has grown fast, and it's hard to know where to start. A curated box lets you try a red, a sparkling and two spritzes side by side, then go back for the ones you love.
Someone who knows wine chose it. Sarah Kate has done the tasting so you don't have to guess.
It keeps the ritual. Bitters, citrus and proper glassware turn a Tuesday night drink into something you look forward to.
It's made for sharing. There's enough here to host a few friends, whether they're doing Sober October or not.
It lasts past October. The favorites you find this month are the ones you'll reach for at the holidays and beyond.
