“We grow our botanicals in open fields, not in laboratories.”
— Ina Simone Averhals
Harvested & layered — without a trace of alcohol
ALTER is an alternative for aperitif and wine moments, assembled from unripe grapes, fruit and herbs. Our cuvées follow the artisanal process of winemaking — from cultivation to blending — yet remain entirely alcohol-free.
Our Cuvées Naturelles
Each cuvée embodies the essence of wine culture: a vinous body, bite, and balance. Expect precise acidity, a gentle mouthfeel, and a natural tension between sweetness and freshness — made without alcohol, without fermentation, and without dealcoholization.
100% Natural
Grapes & Botanicals
Distilled not fermented
An alternative, not an imitation
ALTER is not an imitation of wine, but an alternative with its own identity. Crafted for those moments when wine feels right — from an aperitif to celebrate, to a glass at dinner. ALTER offers a new way to raise a glass.
Cultivated in Open Soil
ALTER offers a distinct interpretation of wine culture — its grape varieties, seasonal harvest, and assemblage. We replace grapes with herbs, and vineyards with botanical fields. This intense cultivation yields pure, complex cuvées — vibrant, natural, bright, and layered.
Open soil — organic terroir
Blending into Vinous Expressions
Fruit and unripe grapes form the backbone, while herbs bring complexity — body, structure, and length. Through years of savoir-faire in botanical layering, we blend layer upon layer — primary, secondary, and tertiary aromas — to create cuvées with vinous expressions: natural tannins, bright acids, and a dry, elegant finish.
Alternatives for Wine Moments
We speak the language of wine — just without alcohol.
We assemble flavour the way sommeliers describe wine: through primary, secondary, and tertiary aromas. This structure gives our cuvées length, tension, and balance — making them ideal with food, or simply as an aperitif.
