Kombucha Wine Alternative Box

A wine tasting where you can still drive home

You've tried the alcohol-free wines. Some were fine. Most were forgettable. A few tasted like grape juice that had been told some bad news. It's not you. It's them.

Raw kombucha brings the things a proper drink needs: complexity, a bit of tartness, natural fizz and something to talk about. This box proves it. Six raw, unpasteurised kombuchas from six different UK makers, each one picked because it holds its own in a wine glass at the dinner table.

Made for the sober curious, the "just cutting down" crowd, and anyone who's run out of alcohol-free wines they actually like.

What's in the box

Left Field Kombucha, Sencha Green
Crisp, clean green tea with a bright citrusy edge. The refined one who reads the wine list properly.

Pop Cultures, Apple & Cardamom
Juicy apple and fragrant cardamom with a festive hint of spice. Crisp and aromatic, lovely with food.

Twisted Kombucha, Hibiscus & Lavender
Ruby hibiscus and soft lavender, gently tart. The one that looks most like wine in the glass.

Blighty Booch, Nettle & Rosehip
Earthy wild nettle and hedgerow rosehip. Think natural wine from a Yorkshire hedge.

Kompassion Kombucha, Lavender
Soft, floral lavender with a calm, rounded finish. Your aperitif, sorted.

MOMO Kombucha, Turmeric
Smooth, golden and earthy, with sweet pineapple. A slow sipper for the cheese course.

Why you'll love it

Pour them into your best glasses, swirl them like a sommelier, use words like "nose" and "finish" with a straight face, and wake up on Sunday with a clear head and a smug look on yours. It's also the perfect present for the friend who's "doing Dry January" in October.

Raw, all six of them

Every bottle in this box is raw and unpasteurised, still alive with live cultures. Treat it like a good white: keep it in the fridge and serve it chilled.

Picked by Kev at the Otley taproom. Six makers, six glasses, no hangover in sight.

Want the science? Here's what the research actually says about fermented drinks, minus the hype.

Raw means unpasteurised. The bacteria and yeasts from fermentation are still in there, which is why it needs to stay cold.

Like all kombucha, it has a trace of alcohol from fermentation, always under 0.5% ABV, and a little caffeine from the tea it's brewed with.

Fridge it from the moment it lands to the moment you drink it. Warm raw kombucha gets lively, so open it slowly over the sink if it's been out. Once open, keep it in the fridge and finish it within a few days.
