Rising Trend of Non-Alcoholic Drinks in Switzerland: The Power of Dry January and the Shift to 0% Alternatives
2024-01-04 17:30:43
Published on Jan 4, 2024 at 6:30 p.m.
January 1, 2024, a new year begins and, following the excesses of the holidays, it’s time for some to make new resolutions. Among them, “dry January”, a challenge popularized on social networks with the objective of not drinking a single drop of alcohol during the entire month of January.
To avoid giving up your social life, this resolution is made easier today by the rise of 0% alcohol drinks. In Switzerland, sales of these beverages increased significantly last year, according to the Swiss daily ” The weather “.
Beers, white wine, red wine and even spritz, the range of ethanol-free drinks has been expanding for several years. These substitutes are attracting more and more people, aware of the risks of excessive alcohol consumption. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 3 million people die each year worldwide from overconsumption.
Downward trend
Among OECD countries, the Swiss are above average in terms of consumption, with around 2.4 bottles of wine or 4.4 liters of beer per week per person aged 15 and over. But this overconsumption is tending to reduce: the average annual sale of pure alcohol, all drinks combined, increased from 10.6 liters to 8.5 liters per inhabitant between 2001 and 2021, according to figures from the Federal Office of public health.
This decline is offset by the increase in the production of non-alcoholic drinks, notably beer. It increased on the other side of the Alps “by 5.3% during the 2022-2023 brewing year”, underlines “Le Temps”. Demand has never been higher, forcing supermarkets to adapt. From now on, in Aldi stores in Switzerland, one beer in twenty sold is alcohol-free.
0% beer
According to Yan Amstein, director of the Amstein group, a specialist in beer distribution, the success of alcohol-free beer can be explained by its taste, because “removing the alcohol softens the drink”. A technique which appeals to non-fans of hoppy flavors, but which works less for alcohol-free wines, he analyzes.
In France, where the consumption of alcoholic beverages is higher than that of Switzerland (12.3 liters per inhabitant per year), major wine regions, such as Saint-Emilion, have chosen to broaden their offering by also offering, alcohol-free wines. Moderato, Gueule de Joie or even Le Petit Béret, many young startups have even decided to devote themselves solely to non-alcoholic fermented wine, a trend which might gain in popularity.

In his recent autobiographical book, titled Spare, the prince reveals how he returned to Paris, to the site of the fatal accident on the Bridge of the Soul, to symbolically face the pain that has marked much of his life.
Harry described in detail the moment he asked his driver to cross the bridge at the same speed at which his mother’s car crashed, reaching 104 kilometers per hour. Despite a small pothole at the entrance to the tunnel, which is believed to have caused the accident, the prince and his driver did not feel the impact significantly.

However, this symbolic act intensified the prince’s pain, marking a new stage in his grieving process, which he called “Pain, Part Deux.”
The confession did not stop there. In an interview with ITV in early 2023, before the publication of his book, Harry revealed that he had only cried once, at his mother’s funeral. He attributed his inability to express emotions to the strict upbringing he received.
Additionally, he shared the guilt he and his brother, Prince William, experienced waving to the crowd at the funeral while unable to show emotion, only to realize later that their hands were “wet” from wiping away their tears. .
The story took an even more disturbing turn when Harry revealed his thoughts during his brother William’s wedding to Kate Middleton in 2011. Despite previously describing Kate as “the sister he never had,” Harry expressed in his book: “The “Brother I escorted to Westminster Abbey that morning was gone forever.”

“Who might deny it?” These revelations offer a shocking insight into the emotional complexity that has marked Prince Harry’s life and his relationship with the loss of his mother and the evolution of his family ties.
