Over recent years, our drinking habits have changed as more health-conscious people look to low alcohol beer and wine or non-alcoholic beverages to quench their thirst.

If you’re not sure what a drink to be “low-alcohol” means, it refers to beverages with an alcoholic strength by volume (ABV) of between 0.05 and 1.2%.

By choosing lower strength alternatives — as long as you’re still consuming the same amount of drinks — you will consume fewer units of alcohol. You’re also more likely to keep unwanted calories off, have a better night’s sleep and feel fresh in the morning. It’s a win-win!

Low alcohol beer and wine can be great for cutting down on the amount you drink at home or even useful for pacing yourself on a night out. We’ve gathered a list of low-alcohol options without compromising on the taste.
