The increasing growth of non-alcoholic beverage trends across the U.S. is being reflected in sales figures. Between August 2021 and August 2022, total dollar sales of non-alcoholic drinks in the US stood at $395 million, showing a year-on-year growth of +20.6%.
The Wine Enthusiast recently released an article “The Best Non-Alcoholic Bottle Shops in America, According to the Pros.” Listing the best, divided by six regions, in the Great Lakes Region, Dayton’s The Bottle Shop by Ghostlight made the list.
Here’s their write up:
What do you get when you combine a bottle shop with a coffee shop? Happy customers.
“Bottle Shop by Ghostlight packs a one-two punch: a non-alcoholic bottle shop on one side, and a café on the other side,” says Molly Flynn, a non-alcoholic home bartender and content creator. “The cafe is cozy, chic, welcoming and goes a step beyond the norm by offering craft NA cocktails in addition to the usual coffee beverages.”
Flynn says the shop is small but mighty, boasting a selection of NA whiskey, mezcal, amaro, gin, wine, bitters, canned cocktails and mixers, along with botanical distillates and other non-analogue spirits. “I especially appreciated the station where you could build your own mix-n-match six pack of [NA] beer,” she says.
Owner, Shane Anderson told us, “We are humbled and honored to be acknowledged by Wine Enthusiast Magazine as one of the leading purveyors of non-alcoholic beer, wine, and spirits in the nation. Their recognition not only celebrates our passion for curating a unique collection but also highlights the increasing popularity and sophistication of alcohol-free alternatives. We raise a toast to Wine Enthusiast for spotlighting the exciting possibilities and expanding horizons in the realm of beverage enjoyment.”
