Top alcohol-free drinks from high-street supermarkets

Erynn Blansjaar | January 2022 | 8 minutes

Alcohol-free drink sales are booming, so chances are a supermarket near you has a selection of options for you. Here are some of the most exciting drinks you can expect to find in popular UK supermarkets (sorry, non-UK residents!).

Most supermarkets will have Heineken 0,0, Bavaria 0.0%, Kopparberg alcohol-free, and Becks Blue as standard, but many will have other exciting drinks to try too. What we offer below is just a selection of the drinks available - you may find a lot more by browsing the supermarket shelves or websites!

Tesco

Tesco has a great selection of alcohol-free alternatives. When it comes to catering for those ditching the booze, it’s very accommodating – good, considering it’s also the most popular supermarket in the UK. Some drinks to check out:

When you buy your alcohol-free drinks from online retailers Drydrinker and Wise Bartender using these links, Alcohol Change UK gets a proportion of the sales, helping us work to end the harm caused by alcohol.

Low alcohol or alcohol-free? In the UK, drinks that contain 0.05 per cent alcohol (ABV) or less are considered alcohol-free, whilst drinks of up to 1.2 per cent are considered low alcohol. Many, including all the drinks mentioned here, are 0.5% or less. We don’t consider 0.5 per cent ABV drinks ‘cheating’ during a dry month – but it’s up to you to make your own rules!
