Houston – As the new year kicks off, a lot of people are looking for ways to embrace healthier habits without giving up their favorite indulgences. If that’s you, Dry and Damp January might be a good place to start. It’s a chance to enjoy mocktails, spritzers, and lighter wines while staying mindful of wellness goals. Advanced Sommelier Wanda Cole-Nicholson found five great choices for different resolution choices for the new year.
The Giesen Zero Non-Alcoholic Chardonnay offers a refreshing start to detoxing for those going completely dry. At the same time, their Premium Red Wine can be used alone or to create a spritz if you want to extend the night without the empty calories.
If you’re opting for a damp approach, Rodney Strong’s Sauvignon Blanc delivers with just 105 calories per glass, plus sustainability practices that benefit the planet. Another great choice is the 12 E Mezzo Primitivo Salento, with its lower alcohol content and antioxidant benefits.
Finally, Iron Horse’s “Wedding Cuvée” Sparkling Wine offers all the fizz and flavor with minimal calories for celebratory moments.
Whether you’re detoxing, recalibrating, or simply toasting in moderation, these drinks make January both healthier and delicious. You can follow Wanda Cole-Nicholson on Instagram or online.
