Welcome to the essential podcast for anyone in their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond who's ready to drink differently. While Gen Z gets all the headlines for being sober curious, let’s not forget that the real moderation revolution is happening in midlife – and this is your space to explore it without judgment, pressure, or expectation.

Join me to discover the people, places and brands making it easier than ever to live a life less intoxicated, whether that's for tonight, this week, or forever.

I get it – as a midlife moderator, you're not looking to reinvent yourself completely. You want drinks that taste like the ones you already love, new and exciting options with something special to offer, experiences that enhance rather than shorten your evenings, and practical advice that fits your busy, demanding life.

I’m Denise Hamilton-Mace, founder and editor of Low No Drinker Magazine – the leading global publication for mindful and sober curious drinkers and a professional public speaker on all things low, no and light.

My goal with this podcast is to help you feel more confident and more comfortable in your choice to explore a life less intoxicated, and to help you find, understand and enjoy the drinks that make it possible.

If you are, or aspire to be the type of savvy moderator who recognises that drinking less is not a binary decision for you, who knows that coasting with mid-strength drinks, alternating through zebra-striping or bookending the start and end of your night with something non-alcoholic are all viable options then this show is for you.

And you’ll leave each episode feeling motivated and supported to keep energy for the things that matter most: family, health, career, and living life on your own terms.

Each week on the Low No Drinker Podcast, you’ll get to either:

Meet the Makers: Join me in intimate conversations with the experts, founders, brewers, distillers, and visionaries who are creating premium alcohol-free drinks that don't compromise on taste. Discover their personal journeys, what drives their innovation, and why their products are perfect for the discerning midlife palate.

Mindful Moderation Solo episodes: Practical deep-dives into the questions that matter to sophisticated drinkers who want to moderate smartly, with topics like:

- Why do premium alcohol-free drinks cost the same as full-strength versions when there's no alcohol and no tax?

- How can I find an alcohol-free red wine that actually tastes like the Malbec I love?

- What's the real difference between no, low and light alcohol options?

- How do I navigate social situations when I'm the only one moderating?

- What are the best functional drinks for midlife energy and wellness?

This isn't about going completely dry or following someone else's rules. It's about making mindful choices, exploring sophisticated alternatives, and practising practical moderation that suits your lifestyle. Whether you're a Gen X professional looking to improve your health, a busy parent wanting more energy, or someone who simply wants to enjoy better mornings while still celebrating life's special moments, this podcast helps you drink your own way.

Mindful Drinking & Moderation in Midlife: Low No Drinker Podcast is perfect for mindful drinkers, sober curious adults, midlife moderators, health-conscious professionals, premium alcohol-free enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the low, no and light or mid-strength alcohol lifestyle.

'When we started three and a half years ago, there were a lot of question marks in everyone’s eyes; a lot of pushback from proud bartenders who said "No. I need to sell alcohol. I don't want to do alcohol-free!" And now, in these three and a half years, that's totally changed!"

======
SHOW SUMMARY

Christof Tremp is the co-founder behind Rebels 0.0 alcohol-free spirits range, including a dark spiced rum alternative with a real kick and an Amaretti that tastes as close to the real thing as you can get.

In this week’s episode, I talk to Christof about quitting his job at Lindt Chocolate with no real plan other than to walk the 800km Camino de Santiago pilgrimage and how that unknown adventure led to the launch of Switzerland’s first AF spirits brand, now available in 12 countries around the world.

“And so I doubled down on seeing if I could create the world's first good non-alcoholic wine. And when I say good, it was my definition of good, which it was quite nuanced.”

“I always want a democratic price point and qualitative relationship […] I want it to be the household name that we all turn to when we want a good non-alcoholic wine.”

======
SHOW SUMMARY

Amanda Thomson needs little introduction to the world of AF wines; she’s the pioneering powerhouse behind the leading brand NoughtyAF.

In this episode, Amanda takes me on her journey from exuberant arts journalist with a penchant for champagne to becoming the founder of an alcohol-free wine brand with no pretence and only great flavour.

Amanda is, in equal parts, passionate, driven, concerned, and hopeful about a sector that is finally coming into its own.

Hear how she’s gone full circle from student to master and all the stops in between. This conversation is fun, open and heartfelt as we talk about everything from her mother’s entrepreneurial inspiration in the 70s to understanding how to open the doors stateside and make the US her biggest market to date.
