Wise Bartender hosts Wise Fest 2023 – the Fun and Free Family Event That Showcases the Best of Alcohol-Free Drinks

On Saturday 15 July Wise Fest 2023 is being held at Wayside Farm, Evercreech, Somerset, BA4 6QW from 12noon-10pm. 

With a wide and eclectic range of alcohol-free drinks to choose from, visitors can also enjoy fantastic live music, tasty BBQ food and tutored drinks tasting sessions with kids face painting and glitter tattoos available for younger guests.

Says Wise Bartender Founder and organiser of Wise Fest 2023, Tom Ward: “Wise Bartender has specialised in alcohol-free drinks since our launch back in 2017. We offer people a choice about what they want to drink. 

"We stock over 600 products to meet the growing demand for alcohol-free beer, cider, wine, spirits, cocktails and kombuchas and know from research that over a quarter (29%) of UK drinkers now 'semi-regularly' consume low and no alcohol products. The quality has increased and improved dramatically over the last several years and there's now an incredible range of full-flavoured alcohol-free drinks that are perfect to enjoy on a sunny summer's day. We feel that Wise Fest is the perfect way of exploring and discovering some new gems alongside enjoying some old favourites in a relaxed and enjoyable setting with the whole family.”

One of the highlights of Wise Fest 2023 will be tutored tasting sessions, all hosted by drinks experts. “For those who want to know a little more about the range of alcohol-free drinks and finding some new alcohol-free must-have drinks, we're genuinely thrilled to welcome some of the most knowledgeable experts in the category who'll be leading tasting sessions” Tom went on to say.

“Leading wine expert and founder of the world alcohol-free awards, Chrissie Parkinson, social media personality Emma Newman (@Emma_Sobersonic) and Club Soda beer expert Teddy Hardman will all be taking guests through sampling sessions at free tastings throughout the day. 

"Among the alcohol-free drinks available to try will be beers from Big Drop Brewing, Butcombe and Clean Break Brewing; spirit alternatives from Caleño, Myth Spirits, Ish Spirits and Mahala Spirit; wine from McGuigan's and Not Guilty and Maiden Mill, which is the world's only dedicated alcohol-free cider producer.”

Everyone is welcome at Wise Fest 2023, as are dogs on leads, with a wide range of alcohol-free drinks available plus BBQ and ice creams. Live music will be provided by local artists Eddie Dean, 34 South Duo and John Lime Acoustic and you may even catch a glimpse of the Caleño Brazilian dancers!

There is plentiful parking and admission to Wise Fest 2023 is free on the gate, but advance tickets can be ordered for £5 which will include a free drink at the event and a free glass to take home with you.

Wise Bartender Shares List of Muslim-Friendly Mocktails and Alcohol-Free Drinks

With a stunning range of over 450 alcohol-free products in stock, Wise Bartender publishes categories that enable customers to reference specific dietary requirements including gluten-free, vegan, low sugar and has now added Muslim-friendly to its website.

Tom Ward, founder of Wise Bartender said: “We are always responsive to the needs of our customers and noticed that we were starting to get queries asking which of our alcohol-free drinks were Muslim-friendly. 

"Especially, we realised there's a demand for refreshing drinks that are lower in sugar than some of the options traditionally drunk after sunset during Ramadan. We have initially identified 20 suitable products, including a range of mocktails and have set up a separate category to readily identify those drinks that are Muslim-friendly.”

 For anyone who wants to explore alcohol-free drinks but wants to try a variety rather than buying one option in bulk, Wise Bartender differs from most other online retailers by selling individual bottles or cans rather than requiring a multiple unit or case purchase. 

It also offers a Price Promise which matches the price of in-stock products offered on identical terms by other online retailers, reinforcing its competitive pricing and giving customers confidence that if they shop with Wise Bartender they are getting the best deal possible, or they can claim the difference back.

“By classifying drinks as Muslim-friendly, I hope that Wise Bartender can provide a more efficient service for our Muslim customers” added Tom Ward “but if anyone has any questions, we can be contacted by phone (0333 050 1068), email or via our online chat function.”
