On the wagon

How to celebrate without indulging? Here’s our guide to stocking your drinks trolley for a hangover-free party season

WINE NOT?

With less than 0.5% alcohol by volume, Lautus

dealcoholised wines by winemaker Reg Holder are a great option for anyone cutting down. The Savvy Red

has fine tannins and juicy fruit flavours, while the Savvy

White boasts tropical fruit and lime notes. Also look out for Woolies’ non-alcoholic Sparkling Rosé 100% grape juice. Serve chilled with a ball of berry sorbet for a fizzy,

festive float.

TAKE YOUR TONIC

Invest in a good-quality tonic such as rooibos-infused sparkling tonic water from Coco Safar’s botanical micro

brewery in Sea Point, or Woolies’ sparkling cucumber tonic (add a squeeze of fresh lime, slices of cucumber or orange and you – almost – won’t notice the difference).

Coco Safar also makes sparkling drinks from tea and coffee sweetened with tiny quantities of maple syrup –

try the coffee-citrus cold brew.
