Non-Alcoholic Drinks and Your Health
The measurable part is on the label. The rest is a category sold on how it makes you feel, and we say so.
Two different questions get asked here. What is in the bottle — alcohol, sugar, calories, botanicals — is measurable, and we publish it on everything we list. What a drink will do for you is not, and for most functional ingredients the evidence is thin. We describe the bottle; a doctor knows the drinker.

How this section works
Health & Functional · a note from the desk
Most questions people ask about these drinks are really questions about the body. How many calories are in a glass. Whether the sugar is worse than the alcohol was. Whether it is safe in pregnancy. Whether an adaptogen does anything at all.
Some of those have clear answers and some do not, and we try to be plain about which is which. Calories in non-alcoholic wine is measurable and varies more than you would expect. Low and zero-sugar options exist, though the label wording is inconsistent between producers. Pregnancy is where the guidance matters most and where the 0.0% versus 0.5% distinction stops being academic. Adaptogen and functional drinks are the newest part of the shelf and the part where claims run ahead of evidence.
We publish ABV, sugar and calories on every product we list. That is not a health claim — it is the information you need to make your own.
Nothing here is medical advice. If something matters to your health, ask a doctor rather than a drinks shop.

All of it →Who writes this, and how
The Dry Pour is written by the people who run the shop. We buy everything we sell and taste most of it. Where we have not tasted something, we say so and describe it from the label and the producer rather than pretending otherwise.
We publish ABV, calories and sugar on every product we list, and we print what the producer states rather than a tidied-up version of it — which is why you will see both 0.0% and 0% on this site, because they are not the same claim.
What suits you depends on what you like drinking. Our job is to give you enough to decide. More about us.
