INTRODUCING NEW BUTTERZERO, NON-ALCOHOLIC WINES BY BUTTER

Butter Wines introduces a premium alcohol-removed wine, bringing its great-taste-first focus to the growing non-alcoholic wine category

NAPA, Calif., March 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Butter Wines, best known for Butter Chardonnay—the number one best-selling premium SKU of Chardonnay¹—introduces ButterZero™, a new line of non-alcoholic wines. Crafted to deliver great taste with less than 0.5% alcohol by volume, 65 calories or less per glass², and gluten-free, ButterZero expands the Butter portfolio with a premium option for wine consumers seeking more choice. The line launches with four varietals—Sparkling Rosé, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir—available in 750mL bottles.

"ButterZero non-alcoholic wines represent a meaningful evolution of the Butter portfolio," said John Anthony Truchard, Founder of Butter Wines, and CEO of John Anthony Wine & Spirits. "As adult beverage occasions continue to expand, consumers are looking for options that fit more moments in their lives. ButterZero meets that demand with great-tasting non-alcoholic wines, while staying true to our commitment to quality, approachability, and enjoyment."

Building on the success of ButterLight Chardonnay's 2025 debut, voted as the #1 best-tasting light wine³ and ranked the #1 best-selling low-alcohol Chardonnay in its first year⁴, Butter Wines continues to respond to growing interest in lower- and no-alcohol wine options. ButterZero extends Butter's focus on great taste into the non-alcoholic wine category, offering easy-to-love options at an accessible price point. Designed to give wine consumers more choice, ButterZero fits seamlessly into a broader range of wine occasions, from weekday gatherings and hosting to buzz-free happy hours, without sacrificing enjoyment.

"This launch has been something we've been excited to bring to life for a long time," said Michele Truchard, Co-Founder of Butter Wines. "ButterZero offers a delicious, non-alcoholic wine option that still feels social and celebratory. It opens up new ways for people to enjoy wine, whether they're spending time with friends, hosting at home, or choosing a lighter option."

A recent survey conducted by Talker Research on behalf of ButterZero points to growing interest in non-alcoholic wine, particularly in social settings like happy hour. According to the findings, 60% of respondents say non-alcoholic drinks are appealing during happy hour, and 59% already choose low- or non-alcohol options. Wine also emerged as one of the top low-alcohol beverage choices overall, reinforcing its continued relevance as consumers seek more options. Preferences span generations as well—Gen Z is equally likely to choose full or low-alcohol drinks during happy hour, while baby boomers are more likely than any other group to prefer non-alcoholic options, choosing them over both full and low-alcohol beverages.

"ButterZero is a pivotal addition to the John Anthony Wine & Spirits portfolio building on consumer demand for ButterLight Chardonnay low alcohol wine," said Sarah Montague, Chief Marketing Officer of Butter Wines. "Our ability to bring great-tasting innovations to the adult beverage category to meet rapidly evolving consumer needs for new formats, varietals, and occasions is critical. Launching ButterZero in a portfolio of four varietals that truly taste amazing is our latest commitment to elevating while we innovate."

ButterZero is available in four varietals, each offering a distinct, easy-drinking style: ButterZero Sparkling Rosé is sprightly with strawberry aromas, ButterZero Sauvignon Blanc is tropical, light, and refreshing; ButterZero Chardonnay is smooth, bright, and creamy; and ButterZero Pinot Noir is softly sophisticated and juicy.

To celebrate the launch, Butter Wines is inviting fans nationwide to enter Win Butter & Blooms for a Year sweepstakes.
