Free Spirit opened its doors in November 2024, introducing—for the first time in history—a curated selection of the world’s most awarded non-alcoholic beverages from top international producers to the Finnish market. We now invite media and influencers to hear what the first few months have taught the importer about this emerging market: What does the typical non-alcoholic beverage consumer look like, and what do they want to buy? Is the 0% business model viable in a country like Finland?

In addition to its wide selection of beverages, the store on Fabianinkatu has offered thousands of customers the opportunity to enjoy daily tastings of non-alcoholic drinks. These customer interactions have provided the company with a unique window into the non-alcoholic market – an insight previously unavailable in this sector.

The first Nordic store specializing in premium non-alcoholic beverages, Free Spirit, opened its doors on November 29, 2024, on Fabianinkatu in Helsinki. Now, just over four months later, CEO – Founder Jenny Rostain shares what the company has learned about the Finnish non-alcoholic market, the consumers of non-alcoholic drinks, and their needs.

“Thousands of customer encounters have taught us that the Finnish consumer of non-alcoholic drinks is not necessarily who we’ve long assumed them to be. Our single best customer even surprises us with their profile.”

Already 82% of adults consume non-alcoholic beverages in their everyday lives, and over a quarter identify as fully “alcohol-free.” The trend? Non-alcoholic wine is expected to be dry and high-quality. Premium alcohol-free drinks are now making their way into hotels and top restaurants. No longer does the alcohol-free customer have to settle for drinks designed for children—now, there are stylish and authentic flavor experiences made for an adult palate. ©Jenny Rostain, Free Spirit Drinks Oy
