Proxies: While non-alcoholic spirits & beers have grown in popularity over the past few years, booze-free wine alternatives have lagged behind. Charlie Friedmann, president of Proxies, developed a product that stands up against its alcoholic counterparts. https://t.co/oV84FNx4I0
@Bosefina@Bardo Have you tried our new line? There have definitely been some more kombucha-like ones in the past but we’ve made 60+ varieties and recently launched a new core line based on all that feedback.
@Bardo *adult juice that the best chefs and somms in the country don’t think are just juice. Happy to send you some Proxies to try and see if you still disagree.
@juliabainbridge @BruceBlosil Hey Bruce - sorry if that’s how it comes off, I’ll definitely look into it. We do think our approach creates a better alternative, but we’re also excited to see everyone trying to push the category forward.
@seanfrank If you say so. But if you or any of “you’re” friends want to try some of our Proxies “juice” let me know. Happy to send you some. https://t.co/qrb82OvYr7
On a special #VinePair Podcast, host @zgeballe speaks with Acid League's Devin Campbell and @cfriedmann about the idea behind wine Proxies, how they're made, and why they stand out. (with Acid League) https://t.co/sNoDgiPj2j
Acid League has been killing it
their wine proxies extension was so fucking genius
now they are spinning out collabs with the likes of James Beard Award winners like Sean Brock (also in Chef’s table)
the company is Canadian but has
been growing exponentially in US
