The Alcohol-Free Sommelier Brimful Drinks

If you enjoyed my interview with Laura Willoughby MBE, you’ll like this bonus episode from the Club Soda podcast archive

Is Club Soda a trade organisation for the No & Low industry, or a community for sober drinkers? Or is it both?

Tom Ward says they go 'ping'. Simon Rucker mentions explosions. We're talking shelf life, and spoilage of non-alc drinks

Vinegar was used in drinks to keep them fresh in the days (centuries) before refrigerators. It even stood in for spirits during the American Prohibition. Now it's making a comeback as the backbone of some delicious non-alcoholic drinks.
Christine talks to Bethan Higson and Matthew Jukes about the drinks they have created, and what made them choose apple cider vinegar as a base ingredient.
Learn about the 3 key ingredients that go into a shrub, and why switchel is just another name for a shrub with ginger.

The suppliers you've used for years probably don’t sell No & Low drinks – but Tom Proctor and Daniel Stiller do. Francoise Mathis and Adrian Needham would like to, one day. James Morgan explains why the wrong choice of supplier can cause a traffic jam!

The answer is maybe, or maybe not. Matthew Jukes & Amanda Thomson disagree, industry insiders Imma Cannavo, Harry Crowther & Francoise Mathis set out their wish-lists, and regular contributor James Morgan explains why some alcohol-free wine can taste, well .... terrible!
