What is Libby?

With our resealable swing top closure, every pour is as fresh as the first. We're on a mission to make wellness and mindful drinking enjoyable, bringing you all the joy of wine without the alcohol.
Why the name Libby?
We knew we had created the perfect non-alcoholic sparkling wine that is both Light + Bubbly, so naturally, Libby was born. And while Libby sounds like it could be named after someone's adorable child or beloved family member, rest assured, there's no 'Aunt Libby' behind this bottle. It's simply a word smash of what we do best: being light and bubbly. With Libby, you can enjoy all the experiences of drinking wine without the alcohol, allowing you to stay mindful and keep your goals on track.
How is Libby made?
Libby NA is a true alcohol removed sparkling wine. We took the production process down to the studs, and critically assessed every decision along the formulation. It always starts with the grapes. Thankfully, we have a great network in CA to work within a sustainable farming program, and sourcing from vineyards to make base wine blends with the intention of making dealcoholized sparkling wine. This is often overlooked. Not unlike traditional sparkling wine producers, we're using a blend of varietals to achieve a proprietary blend and desired profile on both our White + Rose. Once the primary fermentation is completed, we move to the dealcoholization process via spinning cone.
The spinning cone is a column that selective filters out the alcohol, effectively taking it from say 13% ABV down to near 0.0. That's when the fun starts, because the alcohol removal process also unfortunately removes esters, aromatics, varietal characters, and mouthfeel. We believe, in order to delight the wine consumer who doesn't want alcohol, we still need to deliver on the whole package. Thus, we've spent nearly 9 months with our trusted flavor house to build back these characteristics. We've embedded some fruit notes, some texture, some aromatic boosts, even some yeastiness. The goal isn't to overwhelm or create overly complex profiles, but nuanced palates and what you come to know and love from wine. The flavors used are all-natural. The final step in the process is stability, sterility and of course, force carbonation which we sit at 9000ppm which is identical to Prosecco levels. But the brightness, energy, acidity, balance is primarily derived from the base wine, and then just plus'd up.
What is dealcoholized wine?
Dealcoholized wine is crafted from genuine wine grapes that undergo primary fermentation, just like regular wine. After fermentation, we use the spinning cone method to remove the alcohol. This method involves spinning the wine at high speeds to separate the alcohol, allowing us to maintain its core wine qualities. While there are other methods of dealcoholization, we’ve chosen this one for its gentle approach.
Unlike our dealcoholized wines, a non-alcoholic wine alternative is a beverage designed to replicate the taste and experience of wine, but it’s not made from traditional wine grapes that undergo fermentation. Instead, these beverages can be made from a blend of fruit juices, natural flavors, and sometimes herbal infusions to create the taste profile.
When selecting your next bottle, it’s essential to check both the bottle label and the ingredient list to ensure you’re getting exactly what you want. The easiest way to spot a dealcoholized wine is by looking for one key detail: it starts with real wine grapes.
Where are your grapes from?
California, baby. We partnered with a multi-generational family-owned winery committed to sustainable practices to source all of our grapes.
How should I store my Libby?

Once opened, simply snap our swing top closure on to keep those bubbles bubbly. The swing top will keep Libby fresh for up to three days in the fridge.
How long does the swing top keep my wine fresh?
Thanks to our swing top closure, our wines will maintain its freshness and effervescence for up to three days after opening. Simply secure the swing top and refrigerate your bottle to keep it delightful and the bubbles bubbly a little longer.
Is your packaging recycable?
Yes! But why stop at recycling when you can upcycle? Our bottles are perfect for turning into lovely vases, water pitchers, or even trendy storage containers. Let your creativity flow! Just a note—recycling guidelines can vary by state, so be sure to check your local regulations before tossing them in the bin.
Can I drink this if I am pregnant?
