Accolade Wines Europe marketing director Tom Smith said : ​“Historically, non-alcoholic wine has suffered from negative taste and quality perceptions – Hardys Zero is set to change all that. After the successful launch of Bombay Bramble, we began to seek inspiration for our next flavour expression to continue to build out our portfolio and elevate the flavoured gin category.” Budweiser Budvar, the national brewery of the Czech Republic, has launched Budvar Nefiltr (4% ABV), a rebrand of its unfiltered and unpasteurised lager, previously known as Kraüsened. Furthermore, the name Nefiltr also highlights the beer’s signature, unfiltered nature, which is key in creating its hazy, gold colour, and deep, crisp flavour. Pour champagne into a chilled coupette glass. Shake the remaining ingredients over ice and strain into glass. Garnish with mint leaf and serve.

Build over cubed ice, stir. Garnish and serve. (NB: If using granulated sugar dissolve first before adding ice and soda).Masterchef 2016 finalist Billy Wright has launched a new range light alcohol spirits, DECEM, crafted to 10% ABV. The table below contains all postcodes on a two day service. Please note all deliveries to Northern Ireland are also on a 3-5 days service.

The name Valkyrie comes from Norse mythology, and these myths and legends have long-standing ties with military and naval traditions. We wanted to craft our rum to honour the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice, marking the bravery and heroism of all those who answer the call of duty to serve." DECEM has been three years in the making, working tirelessly to find the most interesting combinations of fruits, herbs and botanicals to blend genuinely different liquids that hold complex flavours yet are easy to drink with the simplest mixers. We’re proud to launch the first three spirits in the DECEM range and give drinkers lighter alternatives to be enjoyed all day or all night.”She continued: “Overall, innovation remains a critical driver of growth. Globally representing 15% of total gin, rising to 23% in more mature gin markets in Europe. Flavours are the growth driver within innovation representing 10% of the total category.” Bombay Sapphire’s parent company Bacardi recently launched Grey Goose Essences, in three flavours, for the UK market following a successful roll out in the US, suggesting the rise in fruit-infused spirits is yet to peak.
