Proxies makes a non-alcoholic wine alternative using a blend of grapes, teas, spices, and complex ferments. 

We created Proxies for when you want something to drink but you’re not drinking. By blending wine grapes, fruits, teas, spices, and complex ferments, Proxies go way beyond the grape to capture everything that makes wine a great pairing with food—acidity, body, and tannin—without the alcohol.

Proxies earns polarized reviews: enthusiasts praise the complex, botanical blends (Sauvage, Blanc Sheep, white bubbles, Gold Crush) and elegant packaging, while many find the liquids too sweet, vinegary, or kombucha-like and not a convincing wine alternative. Reviews of Proxies highlight intriguing flavor notes and a festive, alcohol-free ritual, but recurrent complaints cite undrinkable reds (Big Red, Red Ember), medicinal aromas, and disappointment relative to expectations of wine.
