More Australians are embracing Dry July each year, using the month to support important cancer charities while also taking a mindful break from alcohol. But giving up alcohol doesn't mean giving up on flavour or fun. With McGuigan Zero, you can still elevate your meals, celebrate with friends, and enjoy every occasion, all while staying alcohol-free.
With moderation becoming the new norm, drinkers are finding more continuous ways to cut back with less drinking occasions and opting for light drops.

Globally, drinkers now represent the largest consumer group across 15 key markets, and no-alcohol wine is forecast to grow by 7% annually through to 2028 (Source: IWSR Insights).
