What to drink instead of wine

If your evening glass of wine is about unwinding, try kava or a red elixir. If it's about the taste with dinner, try a non-alcoholic wine. If it's about the social feeling when friends are over, try kanna.
Instead of the glass after work
Kava is the closest swap for the "shoulders down" feeling. Orange Dream is the easiest first can. Red Elixir Blueberry Lemonade is the evening option in the kratom elixir line. How they compare.
Instead of wine with dinner
Non-alcoholic wines have come a long way, especially sparkling ones. Dry sparkling tea is another good pairing.
Instead of wine with friends
Kanna is the social one: lighter, chattier, more upbeat than kava. Kanna Pomegranate Fusion even has a wine-like pomegranate flavor.
Make it feel like the real thing
Pour it into your wine glass. It sounds small, but keeping the ritual is half of what makes a swap stick.
