World Alcohol-Free Awards 2026

Awards created specifically for alcohol-free drinks
Founded in 2022, the World Alcohol-Free Awards is an international drinks competition dedicated solely to products at or below 0.5% ABV.
The judging process is built around alcohol-free drinks, ensuring they are assessed on their own merits rather than as an extension of conventional beer, wine or spirits.
