Ready to get your Grüvi on with these Non-Alcoholic Dry Secco and Bubbly Rosé bevies? We took one for the sober team and sampled them for you. The result? We are all about their bubbles!
Grüvi strives to create an inclusive community focused on making better choices within our daily lives. They truly believe in a world where we don’t always feel inclined to drink in a social setting and a world where everyone can feel comfortable, regardless of what’s in their cup. We’ll cheers to that! It drives me nuts when people don’t invite me to things because “I don’t drink”. I’m sober, not boring people and I’m not a house plant. Guess what world? Sober people DO still consume liquids! GASP!
The Grüvi mission is simple. Help others be healthy and stay social, one drink at a time. They sought out to create a line of craft, non-alcoholic beers, and wine because you deserve it. Your health is your wealth, and the beverage you consume shouldn’t compromise that. Can’t we get a bubbly amen?
Grüvi Non Alcoholic Dry Secco
Sip on the stars with their bubbly, non-alcoholic prosecco (now called Dry Secco). What’s in the bottle? They start with hand-picked and blended wine grapes to create their amazing version of champagne. Their wine is semi-dry, with floral and tart endnotes. Each serving is 0.0% alcohol, 10 ounces, and boasts only 50 calories. Did we mention it’s completely free of gluten and sulfates? Cheers to that!
Get in my glass already! I have to admit, I was a little nervous at first to sample the Dry Secco. With nearly 15 years of sobriety under my belt, I’ve steered clear of most non-alcoholic beverages pretending to be alcoholic beverages. I had the mindset that I don’t pretend to be sober, I am sober. I was worried that drinking a beverage that tasted like the booze I used to knock back might trigger me in some way. Nothing, absolutely nothing is worth risking my sobriety.
My truth is that I found this beverage delightful because to me it doesn’t taste at all like the bubbly alcohol of my past. It didn’t taste like alcohol, nor did it smell like alcohol. I very much enjoyed the dry, bubbly floral, and tart endnotes. The true test for me? After having one I didn’t want another one. I was satisfied. Please keep in mind, with over a decade-plus of sobriety, I can’t possibly know if this would be the same experience for someone that was newly sober. If you are having second thoughts or worry it’s not right for you, lean into that inner intuition. Check-in with your accountability buddies. Think through what your motivation and intentions are. Nothing is ever worth risking one’s sobriety. I encourage everyone to hydrate responsibly.
Having the Dry Secco in a fancy glass with some gal pals on a zoom call was a nice way to end a long week. The ritual of enjoying a well-crafted beverage in a fancy glass to relax while the day rolls off my shoulders is still something I enjoy. (Note, the Dry Secco bottles feel fancy all by themselves sans fancy glassware)
Grüvi Non Alcoholic Bubbly Rosé
Meet the newest addition to their core lineup, Grüvi Bubbly Rosé. Their rosé is fruity on the nose and pours a light pink hue. Tiny, effervescent bubbles compliment notes of tart, green apple alongside fresh strawberry. This refreshing wine is gluten-free, alcohol-free and only 60 calories per bottle. If you like a bit of sweet and a bit of tart, this is the drink for you!
Life really is better with bubbles! While the Dry Secco remains my fav of the two flavors, I do enjoy the Bubbly Rosé. When I’m feeling fancy, I like to garnish my glass with some fresh strawberries and a green apple slice. This beverage pairs really nicely with a small charcuterie plate made up of gourmet meats, cheeses, and a few more green apple slices and strawberries. Perfect for when you’re having a Me, Party of One!

Question Marc?
Want to check out a review of all of the Grüvi product lines? Spoiler alert! They also have a non-alcoholic beer. Beer wasn’t my thing before getting sober, so I don’t think I’m going to acquire a taste for it now. Question Marc? on YouTube can fill you in on all you want to know about their Non-Alcoholic IPA, Pale Ale, and Stout.
