Going NOLO A Growing Trend WORDS DI VON ESSEN If you’ve noticed a trend toward drinkers reducing their alcohol consumption by drinking low or no alcohol options – you’re not wrong. With many consumers looking to moderate their alcohol intake, the no and low alcohol (NOLO) market is growing in strength. It’s apparent already that this is more than just a passing trend and is a genuine change in consumer drinking habits. Aiming to grab onto the coat-tails of this upwardly mobile trend, local brands Tempus Two and McGuigan have released a range of low and noalcohol wine products.
Tempus Two Lighten Up Tempus Two Lighten Up is a lower alcohol and reduced-calorie wine range. With a Prosecco, Pinot Grigio, Rosé and Pinot Noir, all 750ml with an ABV of 6.8% and light in alcohol content, these wines are not to be taken lightly. Tempus Two Lighten Up doesn’t compromise quality or flavour; using the latest spinning cone technology to remove the alcohol at a lower temperature that is ‘gentler’ on the wine. This allows it to retain more varietal fruit character, aromatics and taste without needing to harvest the grapes before they are ripened to ensure low alcohol.
