Discover two standout alcohol-free wines in one thoughtful pairing. The Vrij Duo brings together their expressive Merlot and vibrant Sauvignon Blanc, each crafted through a gentle dealcoholization process that preserves the character, aroma, and varietal integrity of the grapes—nothing added, nothing artificial, just pure South African flavour.
Merlot:
Fruit-forward and velvety, with aromas of red berries, soft tannins, and a smooth, lingering finish. Elegant, warm, and easy-drinking—perfect for red meat dishes, hearty stews, or cozy evenings in.
Sauvignon Blanc:
Bright and refreshing, showcasing gooseberry, ripe melon, tropical fruit, and a touch of green leaf minerality. Crisp, zesty, and beautifully balanced. Ideal with grilled seafood, fresh pasta, and white meats.

Frequently Asked Questions — Vrij - South African Duo
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 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.
