Ingredient Advisory
Created in collaboration with Sarah-Kate of Some Good Clean Fun, sober sommelier and trusted voice in the zero-proof wine world, The New Vintage is our invitation back into wine and a reminder that it never left the table.
This month, we’re pouring a California red, New Zealand wine spritzes, German sparkling wine, and bitters that give us a little room to experiment and mix, featuring Tomorrow Cellars, Giesen 0%, Wander+Found, Bark & Bitter, and more.
Consider this your personal wine curation for the month. Open a bottle with dinner, keep something crisp and bubbly chilled in the fridge, geek out over the thoughtfully chosen ingredients in your glass, or let your favorite red breathe during an overdue catch-up with a dear friend. There’s still so much to love about the ritual of wine, all without alcohol.
Please review the ingredient advisory before enjoying. If you are pregnant, nursing, have a medical condition, or take prescription medications, consult your healthcare provider before consuming products containing herbal ingredients.
1x Tomorrow Cellars Red Blend (750ml)
1x Wander + Found Sparkling Cuvée Blanc (375ml)
1x Bark & Bitter Overtly Orange Bitters
2x Sanpellegrino Zero Lemonade
1x Giesen 0% Spritz Sauvignon Blanc

4x House of Citrus Dehydrated Orange Wheels
Tinto de Verano: A bright, wine-forward non-alcoholic cocktail with rich dark berries, fresh lemon citrus, and a hint of bittersweet orange.
Wander + Found Sparkling Cuvée Blanc: A crisp, refreshing non-alcoholic sparkling wine with tangy citrus, tart gooseberry, sweet starfruit, and plenty of bubbles.
Giesen 0% Spritz Sauvignon Blanc: A bright, crisp non-alcoholic wine spritz with lime zest, passionfruit, green apple, delicate florals, and fine bubbles.
Giesen 0% Spritz Rosé: A vibrant, fruit-forward non-alcoholic wine spritz with strawberry, white peach, passionfruit, lime, and delicate bubbles.
Bark & Bitter Overly Orange Bitters contains botanical ingredients including bitter orange peel, quassia bark, and gentian root. It also contains sugar alcohol, which comes solely from the vegetable glycerine base. It contains no actual sugars or ethanol, but vegetable glycerine is technically classified as a sugar alcohol.
Loved it all!! i'm not a big wine drinker, mostly for the taste, so I was hesitant about this box, but I loved it all!!! Might be the box that I finished first after almost 2 yrs of monthly boxes!
I tried to stop the order when I heard it was wine, but my email to customer service was met with a question of did I really want to stop it? I said yes but heard nothing back from them. Then my card was charged so I made an attempt to enjoy it but it’s not for me. I just signed up for the cool mixed drinks. I changed the upcoming box away from wine, but if this is now a monthly wine box, it’s just not what I am looking for. No harm no foul.

Hi Jennifer, we’re sorry we missed your confirmation to skip October’s box and that the order was processed. The New Vintage was a special wine-focused curation. Our boxes typically center on non-alcoholic spirits and cocktail-making, and wine won’t be a regular focus. We enjoy exploring new things, but understand that every box won’t suit everyone’s tastes.
We’ll be reaching out directly to help make this right. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
I look forward to creating cocktails. This box only had one cocktail recipe.
Store owner replied:
Hi Cheryl,
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We understand that creating cocktails is something you look forward to, and having just one recipe in this box felt disappointing.
The New Vintage was a wine-focused box, curated with sober sommelier Sarah Kate of Some Good Clean Fun to explore non-alcoholic wines while still including a cocktail recipe. We’re always trying new things and introducing different ways to enjoy zero-proof drinks, and we understand that every box won’t be the perfect fit for everyone. Our boxes typically focus on non-alcoholic spirits, so wine won’t be a regular focus.
We also announce each box in advance, including what’s inside and what you’ll make, so you can decide whether it’s something you’ll enjoy. If an upcoming box doesn’t suit your tastes, you have the option to pause or skip before it processes. Please reach out if you ever need help with those options!
We appreciate you letting us know what you enjoy most about your boxes.
Wow! The wine tastes like wine. This is an awesome box!!! Yay for Sangria.
Squeeze the lemon wedges into a wine glass filled with ice. Add the red blend, Sanpellagrino Limonata Zero, and orange bitters. Stir gently to combine, then garnish with a dried orange wheel.

Recipe #2
Wander + Found Sparkling Cuvée Blanc
Made in Germany from Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Blanc, this is one of the nicest non-alcoholic sparkling wines we’ve tried for it’s price point, plus it comes in a regular sized bottle or what I call a smaller ‘piccolo’ bottle (I love adding a straw and sipping right from the bottle!). Delicate apple and orchard-fruit aromas lead to green apple, tart gooseberry, and a hint of lime with creamy bubbles and a touch of minerality on the finish!
How to Enjoy Chill the bottle, pour it into your favorite wine glass, and enjoy it on its own. Take a moment with the delicate aroma before your first sip.

Recipe #3
Giesen 0% Spritzes
When it comes to non-alcoholic wine, Giesen 0% doesn’t compromise on the character or taste profile of classic New Zealand wines we all know and love. As a new addition to the Giesen family, they added bubbles to both of these wines for a canned spritz format. In my opinion, the bubbles amplify the flavour profile even more. It’s a perfect package - portable, delicious and tastes almost like real wine!
0% Spritz Sauvignon Blanc
Bright citrus and tropical fruit give this Sauvignon Blanc a lively first sip. Crisp acidity and gentle bubbles keep it refreshing, with a zesty finish that lingers.
0% Spritz Rosé
Juicy cranberry, sour cherry, and watermelon bring a fresh, fruity feel to this rosé. Delicate floral notes and soft bubbles round out each sip
