St. Buena Vida Grows Their Non-Alcoholic Wine Brand in the U.S.
In a significant move for the burgeoning non-alcoholic beverage sector, St. Buena Vida, renowned for its exceptional sparkling white wine, has recently unveiled new distribution partnerships in Louisiana and the Carolinas. These arrangements, made with Select Importers Distributors and 3 Keys Distributing respectively, signal an exciting growth trajectory for the brand that launched just six months ago.
Premium Sparkling Chardonnay
St. Buena Vida's flagship product is a sparkling Chardonnay meticulously crafted from organic, single-vineyard grapes sourced from Spain. The brand is distinctive for its use of Solos technology, the forefront of dealcoholization and aroma-capture. This innovative method allows the wine to retain the original aromas and character, culminating in a dry, crisp sparkling white that faithfully resembles traditional wines.
Strategic Partnerships in Key Markets
The collaboration with Select Importers Distributors in Louisiana is particularly promising. This distributor is known for its elite selection of fine wines and spirits, as well as its robust relationships within both on- and off-premise sectors. David Colomb, the Southeast Sales Director at Select Importers, expressed optimism about the increasing interest in premium non-alcoholic beverages, stating, "There's a demand for high-quality products like St. Buena Vida, and we're thrilled to support the brand's growth in Louisiana."
Meanwhile, in the Carolinas, St. Buena Vida has aligned with 3 Keys Distributing, a distributor noted for its carefully curated collection. Woody French, a partner at 3 Keys, remarked on the immediate appeal of the product, describing it as premium and clean. He noted that it meets the specific needs of many of their partners in the non-alcoholic wine category.
Overcoming Distribution Challenges
Despite the rising popularity of non-alcoholic wine, Lawrence Bremer, the founder of St. Buena Vida, acknowledges the hurdles new brands face in establishing distribution channels. He emphasized that the choice of distributor significantly influences a brand's evolution, stating, "Both Select and 3 Keys possess a deep understanding of their markets and know how to introduce something new to consumers effectively."
Embracing the European Essence
St. Buena Vida embodies the essence of leisurely summer afternoons, coastal dinners, warm hospitality, and the elegance of a well-served sparkling wine. The brand has struck a chord with various on-premise and off-premise locations looking to provide guests with sophisticated non-alcoholic options that enhance their dining experiences. These offerings resonate particularly well among those seeking alternatives that are both thoughtful and celebratory.
Looking Ahead
With plans for continued strategic expansion, St. Buena Vida aims to target fine dining establishments, boutique retail outlets, and upscale hospitality venues. The brand can now be found in select locations across these states and is also available online at
