GNISTA - Blonde, Funky
750mL | Wine Alternative
Hops, pine, cloudberries, rhubarb, and white pepper. A textured, slightly bitter non-alcoholic orange wine alternative.
Designed for modern gastronomy and natural wine lovers, Gnista Blonde, Funky replaces an artisanal orange (skin-contact) wine. Less acidic and more spiced than Gnista Crisp, it is built from the ground up using culinary food-tech, botanical extractions, and real ingredients rather than dealcoholizing traditional wine.
Thriving on contrast, texture, and complex savory notes, it layers the tartness of Scandinavian cloudberries and rhubarb with aromatic pine, floral hops, and white pepper heat. It delivers real tannic grip, mid-palate weight, and lingering bitterness—bringing an uncompromised wine-proxy ritual to Michelin-star dining rooms and adventurous home tables.
Golden-amber pour, aromatic pine and hop aromas, grippy cloudberry rhubarb palate, and a spicy white pepper finish.

Frequently Asked Questions — GNISTA - Blonde, Funky
Expert answers to common questions about non-alcoholic options, ingredients, and delivery across Canada.
How should I store premium de-alcoholized wine after opening?
Because alcohol acts as a preservative, de-alcoholized wines (like Benjamin Bridge or Dr. Zenzen) should be tightly sealed, refrigerated immediately after opening, and consumed within 3–5 days for optimal flavor.
What are 'Proxies' or 'Alternative' wines?
Proxies are sophisticated, non-alcoholic beverages crafted using tea, juices, spices, bitters, and vinegar to mimic the complexity, tannins, and acidity of wine—without relying on fermentation.
What are the benefits of joining the Søbr Wine Club?
Members receive exclusive access to new releases, monthly curated selections, and special member pricing. It is the easiest way to explore our curated selection of non-alcoholic wines without the guesswork.
What is the difference between '0.0% ABV' and 'Non-Alcoholic?
Products labeled 0.0% ABV contain absolutely no alcohol. Some products labeled 'non-alcoholic' may contain trace amounts of alcohol (less than 0.5% ABV), which is similar to the levels found in ripe fruit or fruit juice.
Is 0.5% really alcohol-free?
In Canada, any product containing less than 1.1% alcohol-by-volume (ABV) is considered alcohol-free because our body metabolizes that amount of alcohol faster than we can feel any effect.
More commonly world-wide, any product containing 0.5% ABV or less is considered alcohol-free.
Fun fact: many foods have some level of ABV due to their natural fermentation. Kombucha, breads made with yeast, overripe bananas, fruit juice, yogurt, soy sauces & vinegars can range from 0.2% ABV up to 1.2% ABV.
