Created with non-drinkers and the sober curious in mind, the products deliver a premium wine experience through a monthly direct-to-consumer wine club. While [Blanc Slate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-maria-sauvignon-blanc) is Acid League's own take on white wine, Cuvée Zero is described as a "complex yet crushable red inspired equally by the best French wine regions" and [Zest Contact](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yuzu-zest-japanese-tempura-veggie-mix) offers a fresh new take on orange wine. As Acid League's winemaker, Devin Campbell, says: "I wanted to push the limit of what is possible in wine with drinks that electrify your tongue, that make you raise your eyebrows, or stop and scratch your head while you try to figure out what is going on in the glass." In the future, Acid League plans to create proxies that share non-alcoholic experiences of saké, Gewürztraminer, Champagne, rosé and bold reds.
