The fastest growing segment in the global beverage sector, alcohol-free is seeing robust growth and diversity over a range of products. Wine is the most difficult to get right, however it is one of the most desired products in the market. Nothing can replace the flavour, food affiliation, sense of occasion and ritual that wine and sparkling wine possesses.

What’s behind
ZENO (334-262 B.C.) was a trader from Cyprus. Shipwrecked off the coast of Greece, he wandered, haggard and sunburned, into Athens - where he met the prominent thinker Socrates, who became his mentor and teacher.
It was the beginning of one of history’s most influential schools of philosophy, Stoicism.
He was lauded for the 4 virtues which underpin the ZENO brand:
Moderation
“The excess of pleasure is pain” ━ Almeida Garrett
Wisdom
“It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters” ━ Epictetus
Justice
“They who live in harmony with themselves live in harmony with the universe” ━ Epictetus
Courage
“How few there are who have courage enough to own their faults, or resolution enough to mend them” Benjamin Franklin
The Roman statesman and philosopher, Cicero, symbolised the sum of these virtues as "Knowledge, the fist in hand” which is the ZENO logo.
When ZENO wasn’t busy philosophising, his main enjoyment was to sit in the sun eating figs and drinking wine.
See? It’s all about balance. Our goal is not to preach. ZENO's mission is to craft the best alcohol-liberated wine alternatives possible, with regional and varietal expression, for the more discerning wine drinker on occasions where they choose not to drink alcohol.
