Non-alcoholic wine is one of the fastest-growing categories in food & drink, but it’s also one of the most misunderstood.

In this episode of Fuelling Foodies, Kate sits down with Fiona & Alex, founders of Vino Zero, to unpack what’s really happening inside the non-alc wine space, from quality and consumer scepticism to explosive category growth and bold founder decisions.

From landing their first four pallets to supplying major hospitality venues and high-profile events, this is the inside story of building credibility in a rapidly evolving market.

Here’s what we cover:

1. The real reason non-alcoholic wine is booming (and why it’s not a fad)
2. Taste, trust & winning over sceptical consumers
3. The quality shift: what changed?
4. Building a multi-channel business across wholesale, trade & e-commerce.
5. Founder lessons: fast decisions, long-distance partnership & scaling in a new category
6. Our hot take: Will non-alcoholic outperform traditional alcohol in 2026?

If you’re building in a fast-growth category, navigating consumer behaviour shifts, or watching the rise of the sober-curious movement… this episode is essential listening.
