Sèchey is a fully alcohol-free retail concept at 540 King Street in downtown Charleston, founded in 2021 by Emily Heintz. Part bottle shop and part tasting salon, it stocks premium non-alcoholic wine, beer, and zero-proof spirits alongside adaptogen-infused functional beverages, and offers complimentary tastings so customers can sample before they buy. The space is positioned as a modern, chic alternative to a traditional liquor store, geared toward sober and sober-curious shoppers.
Beyond the storefront, Sèchey runs Sèchey Noir, a separate line focused on THC and CBD products, and offers complimentary local delivery in downtown Charleston as well as event tastings.
The shop's future on King Street is uncertain. On 9 July 2026 The Post and Courier reported that the store is closing: Heintz cited South Carolina's unpredictable regulatory environment, a costly liquor-liability insurance requirement in the lease and high downtown rents, and said she plans to move the company to a state with a clearer framework. The 540 King Street lease, which runs to October 2027, has since been listed for assignment by Avison Young. As of early September 2026 the company's own website still lists store hours and tastings at the address, so the room may still be trading down its stock; anyone travelling for it should call ahead rather than assume it is open.
