EPIK Sauvignon
Sauvignon Blanc
$32
Dealcoholized wine from Germany — the country that invented it.
Less than 0.5% alc./vol. Made for the table, not the sidelines.
In 1908, a German chemist worked out how to take the alcohol out of wine without taking the wine out of it. Vacuum distillation — remove the alcohol at 30°C instead of boiling it off at 78°C, and everything fermentation built survives the process.
A century later, Germany still does this better than anywhere else. That's where EPIK is made.
Real wine first. Grapes grown, pressed and fermented the conventional way, because fermentation is where wine gets its character. The alcohol comes out afterwards.

Lychee Flower
$36
Fermented conventionally before the alcohol is removed. Grape juice with flavouring is a different product with a similar description.
Vacuum distillation, invented in Germany in 1908 and still the standard. Low temperature, aromatics intact.
Faith, health, pregnancy, medication, driving, or simply not tonight. All reasons. None of them need explaining.
Stocked and shipped from BC. Free delivery over $75.
Most people not drinking at any given table aren't in recovery. They're pregnant, or driving, or on medication, or observing their faith, or training for something, or they slept badly and tonight isn't the night.
None of them want a conversation about it. All of them notice what's in the glass.
We made EPIK for that table — so the alternative is as considered as the wine, and nobody has to be the exception.
