Why Every Host Should Have Non-Alcoholic Wine on Hand
Hosting a gathering is all about creating an experience your guests will remember. Whether you're throwing a small dinner or a big celebration, you want your home to feel inviting, fun, and thoughtful. And these days, being a great host means making sure everyone feels included — even those who aren't drinking alcohol.
That’s where non-alcoholic wine comes in. It's not just a replacement, it’s an upgrade. Here’s why having a bottle (or five) of premium non-alcoholic wine on hand is a game-changer for your next event.
1. Inclusivity Is Key
Let's face it — not everyone wants or can drink alcohol. Some might be taking a break, others might be in training for a big race, some could be expecting a baby, or maybe they’re just choosing to skip the booze for the night. By offering non-alcoholic wine, you’re saying, I thought of you.
It’s a small but meaningful gesture that shows you care about your guests’ needs. And with wines like Missing Thorn Sparkling White, you’re offering something that feels just as special as the real thing — no compromises needed.
2. Non-Alcoholic Wines Aren’t What They Used to Be
Gone are the days when non-alcoholic wine was just glorified grape juice. Trust me, we’ve come a long way.
At Missing Thorn, we craft wines that are just as flavorful and sophisticated as their alcoholic counterparts. Take our Missing Thorn White, for example — it’s a vibrant Albariño with tropical notes of lychee and passionfruit, finished with a citrusy twist. Or the Missing Thorn Rosé, which is crisp, floral, and perfect for warm days on the patio.
These wines aren’t just for people who aren’t drinking — they’re for anyone who appreciates a great glass of wine, no matter what’s in the bottle.
3. Keep It Classy, Without the Buzz
You’ve got your table set up perfectly, the candles are flickering, and your guests are arriving. The last thing you want is for your drink selection to feel like an afterthought. Non-alcoholic wine like Missing Thorn Sparkling White or Missing Thorn Red can easily fit into any elegant setting. Plus, it adds that extra polish to your bar cart.
Everyone can still sip from a beautiful glass and feel part of the celebration, without the worry of getting too tipsy. No hangovers here — just great wine and great company.
4. It’s the Thought That Counts (Literally)
When you’re hosting, it’s all about those little touches that make your guests feel cared for. Offering non-alcoholic wine is one of those thoughtful details that doesn’t go unnoticed. It’s not just about providing a drink; it’s about making sure everyone feels included.
Whether you’re pairing the Sparkling White with oysters, the Red with a delicious charcuterie spread, or the Rosé with fresh summer salads, Missing Thorn helps you create an experience that’s intentional and inclusive.
And if you want to take things up a notch, the Sparkling Rosé adds that extra touch of glamour to any occasion.
5. Stock Your Bar Cart for Every Guest
As a host, planning ahead is key — but the best hosts plan for everyone. Keeping some bottles of Missing Thorn non-alcoholic wine on hand is a simple way to make sure every guest feels included and cared for. From the crisp Sparkling White to the refreshing Rosé, or the bold Red, each wine offers a unique experience that elevates your event.
By having these options ready to go, you’re not just offering an alternative — you’re creating a moment where everyone can enjoy a glass of something special, without anyone feeling left out.
So, next time you're planning a gathering, don’t just think about what’s on the table. Make sure your bar cart is stocked with wines that bring people together. Cheers to thoughtful hosting!
