Non-alcoholic and low-alcohol drinks are taking the beverage world by storm. Be inspired and enrich your range with innovative, tasty and healthy options!

5 top tips for immersing yourself in the world of non-alcoholic delights

Promoting health awareness
More and more people are paying attention to their health and are therefore choosing non-alcoholic or low-alcohol drinks. Drinking less alcohol has numerous health benefits. After four weeks without alcohol, your skin improves, you feel fitter and your blood pressure drops. Even lower consumption can reduce the risk of diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, heart attacks and strokes.
Discover variety
The range of non-alcoholic and low-alcohol drinks is constantly growing and offers something for every taste. From fruity lemonades without cane sugar to innovative kombucha pet-nats, the variety is impressive. Particularly worth mentioning are the blends from Muri Drinks, which lie somewhere between pet-nats, sour beers and fruit wines and have a super low alcohol content.
Redefining lifestyle
These drinks fit in perfectly with a modern, conscious lifestyle and are just as stylish and enjoyable as traditional alcoholic drinks. Products such as Combuchont from the Combuchont Schraml tea cellar are setting new standards. This cold-bottled tea has an impressive shelf life and offers a unique taste experience that surpasses traditional wines.
Experience innovative flavor profiles
New technologies and creative recipes provide unique taste experiences. The AMA Brewery impressively demonstrates how Pét-nat tea is made from the finest teas and ingredients with hardly any alcohol. These products are not only healthy, but also a real treat. Fruit juices without additives, such as those offered by Wachstum König from Styria, are also a highlight in the world of non-alcoholic drinks.
Little alcohol, great effect
For those who don't want to give up alcohol completely, there are numerous low-alcohol options. A low consumption of alcohol, such as a maximum of 10 grams per day, is hardly harmful to health and can even have a stress-reducing effect. Tequila, for example, is considered one of the “healthiest” types of alcohol due to its low calorie and sugar content.

Book tip: Lasagna, Moussaka, and Co. – Happiness in Layers

Ilse Fischer's “Lasagna, Moussaka, and Co.” is a culinary journey through Europe in casserole form

Casseroles are underestimated. They are often considered cozy, filling, a little old-fashioned—but they are actually culinary narrative forms. This is exactly where Ilse Fischer comes in. Lasagne, Moussaka und Co.: Das Glück in Schichten (Lasagna, Moussaka and Co.: Happiness in Layers) is not just another “lasagna book,” but a collection of cultural identities, layered in dough, vegetables, sauces, and memories.

What sets this book apart from classic recipe collections is its focus on the principle of layering. Fischer shows that whether it’s Italian vincigrassi, Greek pastitsio, Alsatian baeckeoffe, or Savoyard tartiflette, ingredients are layered, interwoven, and combined in the oven to create something greater than the sum of its parts throughout Europe. It’s about more than technique. It’s about origin, climate, availability, and food culture.
