Nearly half of Britain’s youngest drinkers are forgoing alcohol in exchange for no-alcohol alternatives, prompting supermarket chain Aldi to launch two new alcohol-free gin expressions under its Greyson’s range: 0% London Dry and 0% Pink Berries. "Shoppers are increasingly looking for new ways to enjoy low- or no-alcohol drinks," says Julie Ashfield, managing director of buying at Aldi UK.
While the juniper-forward Greyson’s 0% London Dry is a classic that's ready to be paired with tonic water and a citrus wedge for a non-alcoholic take on a gin and tonic, Greyson’s 0% Pink Berries pairs subtle juniper notes with fresh berry flavors. Both refreshing options ensure a full-flavor experience without compromise and support mindful drinking experiences.
According to Aldi, its alcohol-free expressions are 40% cheaper than Gordon’s.
