Alcohol-free wine pioneer Maison Chavin has agreed a “strategic partnership” with Boutinot that will make its products available to indies in the UK.

The new Chavin Zéro Vin de France alcohol-removed range arrives at a time when Boutinot reports that consumers “increasingly seek premium non-alcoholic alternatives while retaining the conviviality and elegance of French wine”.

Nick Butler, head of commercial management at Boutinot, said: “Chavin are pioneers in the alcohol-free wine market, focusing on both traditional and modern techniques to create quality wines that cater to consumer demands for authentic tasting zero alcohol alternatives.

“Their innovative use of de-alcoholisation technology, a strong commitment to quality and recognition from wine publications like the Guide Hachette des Vins, were more than enough to convince us to bring these wines to the UK market.

“We are delighted to welcome them into our portfolio.”
