Since
1992

Fre has been making alcohol-removed wine since 1992, which makes it one of the longest-running non-alcoholic wine programs in the United States. It is produced by Trinchero Family Estates in Napa Valley: real varietal wine is made first, then the alcohol is gently removed using spinning-cone technology, a low-temperature process that preserves the wine’s aromas before returning them to the finished blend.

Because it starts as actual wine rather than a grape-juice blend, Fre keeps recognizable varietal character across a broad lineup — Brut, Chardonnay, Rosé, Moscato, Cabernet Sauvignon, and a Red Blend — at less than 0.5% ABV. Wide grocery distribution has made it the NA wine most Americans encounter first.

  • Fre Brut
  • Fre Chardonnay

BODHI

Massachusetts Avenue

Cocktail Bar
NA Program Strength: 4 of 5?·2 NA brands

BODHI is a 21-and-over Thai craft cocktail bar and bistro at the far end of Massachusetts Avenue, run by Taelor Carmine alongside her mother Nicky Carmine and grandmother Pen Phojanasupan, both of whom spent years in Thai restaurant kitchens. It is women-owned and family-run, with a pan-Thai menu built from recipes passed down through the three of them. The bar treats zero-proof as a build rather than a substitution: the Water Lily Dessert layers Lyre's Dry London Spirit and Fre Rosé over coconut water, strawberry shrub, lychee jelly and soda, and the rotating Secret Garden leans on seasonal fruit and vegetables. Seedlip appears in the seasonal list. The kitchen closes an hour before the bar does.

The Ball & Biscuit

Massachusetts Avenue

Cocktail Bar
NA Program Strength: 4 of 5?·2 NA brands

The Ball & Biscuit opened on Massachusetts Avenue in June 2010 and is generally credited as Indiana's first craft cocktail bar. It was founded by local attorney Trevor Belden with bartender Zach Wilks, who later left to build the Wilks & Wilson syrup line, and takes its name from the 1930s ribbon microphone nicknamed the ball and biscuit — vintage mics and music gear are part of the fit-out. For a bar of that vintage the non-alcoholic list is unusually developed: seven named zero-proof drinks stand alongside the full-proof menu rather than in a footnote, including the Spritz AF built on Lyre's Italian Orange and Aperitif Rosso with Fre sparkling brut, the Twist of Fate, the New Fashioned and the floral Whole Garden.
