I honestly don’t understand this trend. It seems like craft sofas but more expensive

I like coffee, tea, beer, wine. They're all pretty bitter. Non-alcoholic substitutes like soda and juice are typically sweet. That's the appeal for me, having a bitter non-alcoholic drink, like a 'near beer'. I'm not strongly into this trend, but I understand an angle to it when I try to cut back my beer consumption

Most of the products hitting the shelf are non alcoholic RTD though, not beer or wine. Some vodka seltzer brands are even coming out with their own brand of seltzer and it’s going to cost about the same as the vodka version.

If the companies making these drinks had the pricing in line with other nonalcoholic drinks it would make more sense, but the prices are the same if not higher than actual alcohol.

Dude my bespoke couch is the bomb and the handmade futon? Pure. Luxury. Craft sofas are life changing.

The price is kind of wild but my partner who is a 'functional' alcoholic stopped drinking in January of this year and has switched to non-alcoholic beers. There's some that are pretty wildly expensive but a lot are actually still a lot cheaper than regular beer. It's a good outlet for those who mostly drink out of habit.
