Thread title reminds me of an ancient joke, involving a photographer who snapped the Pope at the final moment of the Pope jerking off while watching a girls netball match from behind a curtain in the Vatican.
The Pope gave the snapper €100,000 for the camera.
When a Cardinal saw the camera, he said, “That’s nice, how much was it?”
The Pope said, “€100,000.”
The Cardinal said, “ Hundred Grand? He must have seen you coming!”

There is actually a growing market generally as more youngsters do not like drinking and effectively are tee total or rarely drink. Hence the market is responding (or more scrambling) in numerous ways to produce variants that are alcohol free whilst still giving the feel of "drinking".
I actually support it (I do have quite a few gins), but in honesty have nearly bought this one as well. At the moment though I have another bottle I am trying to get hold of which is proving rather difficult.
Despite having quite a few gins, I actually rarely drink and even then it is probably at best 2 glasses total a month, my most is about 4 (i.e. 1 a week and that only really because family were around).
In the case of these products many are actually produced initially in alcoholic format then the alcohol portion driven off via numerous methods until it is "alcohol free"

Well I wouldn't expect it to be comprised primarily of hydrochloric acid. Most of a bottle of gin is still water.So 20 quid for non alcoholic gin, which is basically just water...
However it is just flavoured water, they're selling for £20. Kind of have to admire them, they must be making a lot of profit per bottle those magnificent b

Not Amish in any regard....https://www.theguardian.com/small-business-network...
In regard to Seedlip, and this in particular:
"Seedlip’s founder Ben Branson, a non-drinker, made the first batch in his kitchen in 2013 when he was looking for unusual herbs to grow. “I come from a family of farmers; we’ve been farming for over 300 years. So that love of nature and growing things at home is pretty instilled in me,” he says. Searching online, he came across The Art of Distillation (first published in 1651), which explained how to make non-alcoholic drinks using copper pot stills. “I was kind of fascinated,” Branson says.
Drink: are alcohol-free alternatives finally coming of age?

It took Branson around two years to hit on the perfect recipe. The production process is similar to that of making gin or vodka – first the ingredients are steeped, then distilled and filtered. There is no fermentation (so no alcohol is produced), but a small amount of alcohol is used to extract flavour and prevent the ingredients from going off. The alcohol is then removed before the drink is bottled."

Given that the standard price on that is about the same as say a litre of Bombay Sapphire, how much of the price of the alcoholic gin is duty? Nice earner for the manufacturers if they can sell it at the same price as the alcoholic versions.
Depending on the exact percentage then usually about 60% goes to the government ultimately in regards to gin specifically.StevieBee said:

I bow to the powers of better research in insight!
I work in Marketing, understanding what people do and how they interact is kind of important. Although usually analysing what sectors and roles are performing best, definitely not the drinks industry. However, I do tend to retain material like that for times just like this.I fall just outside the highlighted age range in that article, but in a way I do nearly conform to it.
Unlike Ari stated though I have pretty much grown up...but still not really a big drinker (nor is my wife surprise, surprise)..
I'd like to try Seedlip.
I tried Eisberg Wine last time I was in the UK. It wasn't toooo bad, but just not quite right.
I see you can order the Seedlips via amazon.de now, so might try one.
Still amazed that we can send man-to-the-moon, but can't replicate the taste of alcohol, without the alcohol.
