Gnista was founded byErika Eklundhin Sweden, driven by a passion for quality and food and drink in general.

Gnista is crafted from the ground up using gastronomy, food-tech, distillation, brewing, and barrel aging among other techniques. Which means we end up with liquids that give depth and structure.

All Gnistas are handcrafted in small batches an hour from Malmö, Sweden.

Nope. In other words, they are not wines or spirits where the alcohol has been removed.

Not exactly and that’s not the intention either. Our drinks give length, body and subtle "burn", just like alcoholic spirits. They do have their own botanical identity and are definitely crafted for grown-ups (very few children like). Still, you should be able to replace the Gnistas with a gin (Pink Ginista), vermouth (Floral Wormwood) and rum/whisky (Barreled Oak).

Gnista contains 0.0–0.5% ABV, legally considered non-alcoholic. This is the same range found in for example kombucha. 

They’re safe for non-drinkers, sober-curious individuals, and anyone seeking flavor without the buzz.

Absolutely. Gnista is built to work as mixers for non-alcoholic cocktails (mocktails). They work beautifully in spritzes, G&Ts, Negroni-style serves, and Old Fashioned variations. Check some recipes out on our Cocktail page.

An opened bottle will only get better the first few days. And thereafter stabilise (but the aroma will gradually diminish/change). Your Gnista will stay good for many years, also at room temp. Best stored in room temp outside direct sunlight.

Gnista is known for:

• Natural ingredients (botanicals, herbs, spices, oak, teas, fruits)
• Complexity and depth, not sweetness
• A concentration and mouth feel that elevates mixing

Yes! All Gnista expressions are 100% vegan and gluten-free. Also the sealing wax is vegan.

The range is low in calories and contain only a few % sugars (mostly from the juices, but also some from sugar beet syrup - this is what creates the mouthfeel.) The final sugar content is 11-13% depending on the expression, which means a serving contains around 4 grams of sugar.

Gnista contains up to 0.5% ABV, similar to kombucha or ripe fruit. Maaany who are pregnant or breastfeeding do enjoy Gnista, but individual comfort levels vary. 

Unopened bottles have a long shelf life typically 4-6 years. Its botanical structure is stable, making it a great addition to an alcohol-free home bar or pantry for spontaneous mocktail moments.

Keep them in a dry place away from direct sunlight.

Nope, refrigeration is not required. Gnista is best stored upright outside of direct sunlight - similar to premium vinegars. Chilling before serving can enhance freshness in alcohol-free cocktails, but it’s optional.

Sure. Our expressions work beautifully in sauces, reductions, marinades, desserts, and alcohol-free versions of classic dishes.

All alt wines are best served slightly chilled, around 10-12 degrees Celcius. Here are some suggested food pairings. And take a look at our food pairing guide!

We’re biased - but many sommeliers and chefs do consider Gnista Red and Blonde among the finest. The tannins, structure, high concentration of botanicals and long finish create true wine alternatives far from "grape juice". Our alt-wines are served in top restaurants and chosen by world-class sommeliers seeking premium alcohol-free wine alternatives.

Yes. Modern wine proxies and alt wines deliver real complexity, acidity, and mouthfeel. Gnista Alt Wines are crafted for people who want a true wine experience: pairable, structured, and gastronomic - without alcohol. Or .. what do you think?

Yes. Most delacoholised wines are 0.0% ABV. Though Gnista with its 0.3% is legally non-alcoholic too.

Legally, anything under 0.5% ABV qualifies as non-alcoholic. Gnista alcohol-free wines are not de-alcoholised; they are built from the ground up using botanicals, fruits, teas, tannins, and gastronomy techniques to achieve wine-like character without fermentation.

When alcohol (a taste carrier that also gives you a lot of calories..) is removed, sugar is one way of getting the taste back. The Gnista wines contain between 20 and 42 calories per 100 grams. Alcoholic wines (also white) will give you 82-85 grams per 100 on average..

Traditional de-alcoholised wines often lose body and flavour nuances when alcohol is removed. Gnista builds flavor from scratch, layering botanicals, fruits, spices, teas, oak etc to create structure and a long finish -without relying on fermentation. The result is a premium wine alternative with depth and character.
