Ditch the booze, not the flavor: finote's non-alcoholic revolution is here!
A catalan legacy, reimagined without alcohol
Forget everything you thought you knew about Dry January! Finote, a brand born near the Catalan sea and mountains, is shaking up the aperitif scene with its sophisticated, alcohol-free drinks. Inspired by a treasured family recipe notebook dating back to the 19th century, Élodie Swanberg transformed her great-great-grandmother’s wine and herb infusions into a modern, inclusive beverage. Finote isn’t just about abstinence; it’s about embracing a new kind of social gathering.
An inclusive & committed approach
Finote’s mission goes beyond simply offering a delicious drink. It’s a social statement. They believe everyone deserves to participate in the convivial tradition of the aperitif, regardless of their choice to drink alcohol. The brand partners with the Ligue contre le cancer to promote alcohol-free options, and the response has been phenomenal! A staggering 93% of Finote drinkers also enjoy alcohol, using Finote to practice “zebra striping” – alternating between alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks – proving it seamlessly integrates into existing habits.
