#8 SEEDLIP Distilled Non-Alcoholic Spirits
Seedlip produces the world's first nonalcoholic spirits. In the 1600s, apothecaries were using small copper stills to make nonalcoholic herbal remedies. Seedlip harnesses these old techniques and recipes to make two nonalcoholic herbal spirits.
They have two varieties: Garden 108 tastes like hay, peas, spearmint, rosemary and thyme. Add to ice, pour over tonic water and garnish with sliced cucumber. Seedlip spice 94 tastes like allspice, cardamom, oak, lemon, and grapefruit. The taste reminds me of an old-timey soda from a pharmacy soda fountain shop, a little like sarsaparilla. Use it for mocktails or mix with club soda, tonic water, or ginger beer.

#11 Curious Elixirs
Curious Elixirs are ready-to-drink booze-free cocktails. The company makes three top-secret flavors, and No. 1 is bold, bitter and herbaceous—their “booze-free spin on classic stirred cocktails like the Negroni and the Old Fashioned.”
By the looks of it, you think it will hit you like an Old Fashioned, but upon the first sip, the essence of grapefruit, turmeric, and rosemary-like herby notes come through. It is very lightly sweetened, really barely any sugar at all. The taste is deep and complex and very palatable.

#17 Petillant Naturel Rose
The winemaking team was intrigued by Pétillant-Naturel as a style of winemaking, thus it was first born to William Chris in 2014. This wine is unique in that it is lightly bubbly and often cloudy because fermentation is finished inside the bottle and does not experience filtration. A crown cap is used because it follows the true Ancestrale Méthode.

#18 Üllo Wine Purifier
Üllo is a revolutionary wine purifier that filters sulfites with Selective Sulfite Capture technology to restore wine to its natural taste -as if you opened the bottle right at the vineyard. It is estimated that 3 million Americans may be sensitive to sulfites. When founder James Kornacki learned his aunt was sensitive to these chemicals, he made it his mission to solve this problem and launched Üllo.
The Selective Sulfite Capture technology process works by sequestering only sulfites and allowing other compounds in wine to flow through unaffected. The end result is wine with less than 10 PPM (parts per million) of sulfites (most wines have sulfites ranging from 25-30 PPM with the legal limit being 350 PPM).
In addition to removing sulfites, Üllo includes an adjustable wine aerator and comes with 4 replacement filters, a travel bag, and a display base to capture stray drips. It is made from BPA-free materials and fits on top of any wine glass, or Üllo’s custom, hand-blown glassware.
