The Hardys Zero wine lineup is being launched by the brand as a non-alcoholic option for consumers to choose when seeking out a way to reduce or eliminate libations from their lifestyle.
The wines are made with the brand's Zero Tech X technology that is reported by the brand to be gentler than alternatives, and will help the beverages to retain more of their flavor, body and aroma. The lineup consists of three options including Chardonnay, Shiraz and Sparkling, which are all being launched in the UK this June at a suggested price point of £5.50.
Marketing Director - Europe, Accolade Wines Tom Smith commented on the new Hardys Zero wine lineup saying, "Historically, non-alcoholic wine has suffered from negative taste and quality perceptions – Hardys Zero is set to change all that. Hardys Zero is perfect for those everyday non-alcoholic occasions or for those looking to moderate their wine intake, without compromising on taste or quality. While younger adults are more likely to be regular consumers of low/no alcohol products, we’re expecting Hardys Zero to perform well with shoppers aged 45+."
