Seedlip is planning to launch a new non-alcoholic range called Aecorn Apéritifs.

The range will feature three new expressions, which will be produced using grapes sourced from the UK. It will be aromatised with herbs, roots and bitter botanicals.

Aecorn Apéritifs’ managing director Claire Warner said: “We are thrilled to be following in Seedlip’s footsteps and breaking new ground in the category they created.

“The introduction of Aecorn Apéritifs will additionally help solve the dilemma of what to enjoy with food when you’re not drinking.”

“Since Seedlip’s launch, the world of non-alcoholic has shown itself to be dynamic and exciting, and we hope that the introduction of Aecorn Apéritifs will additionally help solve the dilemma of what to enjoy with food when you’re not drinking.

“Seedlip has given those who are not drinking a seat at the bar, and now Aecorn Apéritifs will give everyone who is not drinking, a seat at the table.”

The new expressions will be packaged in 500ml bottle six-packs, which can be purchased online and through a wider distribution network early next year.

Seedlip’s founder Ben Branson said: “Since launching Seedlip three years ago, the global traction has been both surreal and overwhelmingly positive.

“We are still just scratching the surface of the category’s potential and Aecorn Apéritifs takes us another step closer to our aim of changing the way the world drinks.”
