Low & no alcohol drinks

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

The IWSC is the largest awards for low and no alcohol drinks

The IWSC’s Low & No Awards is its biggest recent success story with entries growing year on year since the Award's establishment in 2019.

IWSC - global drinks community

Reflecting the industry category and award entry growth, in 2023 the IWSC created two low/no producer trophies. Recognising medal performance and brand commitment to the industry, by awarding a Low/No Wine Producer Trophy and a Low/No Spirits Producer Trophy, sponsored by BevZero.

Keeping our community up-to-date with the latest happenings in the low/no category is key. We took a deep dive into the current market in the IWSC’s Low/No Insight Report.

“We've seen a real increase in how close these alternatives are getting to the traditional spirits, as well as wines. There is a real narrowing of that gap. Less low/no wines rely on sugar as a carrier, so the quality bar is being raised. As for spirits, it is great to see some very interesting uses of ingredients. Overall, it is a very exciting category to judge.”
