Located in Calgary, Santé Dry Bottle Shop is Alberta's first dedicated non-alcoholic bottle shop. We sell non-alcoholic beer, wine, spirits, ready-to-drink cocktails, cider, and functional drinks, in store at Crossroads Market in Calgary and online at drinksante.ca.

We started with a simple frustration, that good non-alcoholic drinks were hard to find in Calgary, and usually it meant a trip to the liquor store. We did not think that should be the case, so we opened a store to change all that. The full story is on our About Us page.

Santé (sahn-TAY) means "health" in French, and is a common way to say "cheers", along with 
“À votre santé”, which means "to your health".

We curate and sell a range of non-alcoholic drinks across every category:

• Non-alcoholic beer; including gluten-free non-alcoholic beer
• Alcohol-removed wine: red, white, rosé and sparkling
• Zero-proof spirits: whisky, gin, rum, tequila. aperitifs, and bitters
• Ready-to-drink cocktails and cider

Everything in our store is tasted before it earns a spot on the shelf, and many cannot be found elsewhere in Calgary.

There are three easy ways to start with non-alcoholic drinks:

• Try a Discovery Box. Our beer, wine, and cocktail non-alcoholic Discovery Boxes are a selection of some of our best selling and favourite drinks in each category.
• Check our Best Sellers. These are drinks that are a staple on our shelf, and at home.
• Stop in at the store! Visit us at Crossroads Market, or send us a message with what you usually like to drink, and we can point you to a few new drinks to try.

Everything we carry at Santé Dry Bottle Shop is non-alcoholic, which means it contains 0.5% Alcohol-by-Volume (ABV), or less. More than half of our products are alcohol-free, meaning 0.0% ABV. The exact ABV in every drink is listed on it's product page, and our collections can be filtered by Alcohol-Free. Our post Alcohol-Free vs. Non-Alcoholic covers the difference in more detail. 

No.

A 355 mL can of 0.5% beer is about 1/10 of a standard drink, and the body will process the alcohol much faster than any can build up. You would need to drink TEN 0.5% beers in the same time as you would normally drink a 5.0% beer to feel anything close to the same effect. 

Trace alcohol at this level occurs naturally in many everyday foods such as ripe bananas, fruit juice, sourdough bread, soy sauce, and more. 

Non-alcoholic drinks are for anyone who wants to have a good drink, but not alcohol.

Many consumers of non-alcoholic drinks also consume alcohol, they may just be taking a break for the night, the week, have an upcoming test, or any other reason. For whatever your reason, there is a good non-alcoholic drink.

As many of our drinks replicate the flavours and experience of a traditional drink with alcohol, our drinks are not intended to be consumed by anyone under the age of 18.

Everything we carry is non-alcoholic, and contain 0.5% ABV or less. If you are unsure if you can consume drinks that contain up to 0.5% ABV, please consult your doctor, and share the product in question with them. 

Half of our collection is alcohol-free which is 0.0% ABV.

Some of our functional drinks contain adaptogens and nootropics. These are considered supplements, and you should consult your doctor before consuming. We list all ingredients in a drink on every product page.

Some come very close to tasting like a traditional drink, while others don't taste anything like it on purpose!

Non-alcoholic beer is enjoyed by a wide variety of people for it's familiar flavour, and less calories.

Non-alcoholic wine has come a long way and is no longer just juice. While you probably won't trick someone into thinking it is traditional wine, you can pick up specific flavours and aromas that give you the full wine experience.

We also have a range of non-alcoholic wine alternatives, such as sparkling tea, which do not resemble wine, but still provide a complex drink that are worth celebrating.

While, we have sampled every product we carry to guarantee a quality product, taste is personal, so please tell us what you are looking for so we can suggest a perfect pairing!

Functional drinks have added ingredients such as adaptogens or nootropics. Every product page has a list of specific ingredients.

• Adaptogens are plants and mushrooms (like ashwagandha, rhodiola, or reishi) traditionally taken to help your body handle stress and stay balanced. Think “calm and resilient.”
• Nootropics are substances traditionally used to boost brain function, such as focus, memory, or mental energy. Examples include L-theanine, caffeine, and lion’s mane. Think “sharp and focused.”

Research behind many of these claims is still limited or mixed, so effects vary a lot by ingredient and dose.

Unopened, store them like you would any other food product; somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight, and never in the freezer. Once opened, store in the fridge for best results. Alcohol is a preservative, so non-alcoholic drinks will have a shorter shelf life once opening. 

• Beer and cocktails: consume immediately
• Wine: store in fridge when opened and consume within 2-3 days
• Spirits: vary by brand and product, check the label for more information

As non-alcoholic drinks are a food product, they will usually be stamped with a Best Before date. Keep in mind this is not an expiry date. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions about a specific product.

Unfortunately non-alcoholic drinks freeze! Alcohol is a preservative and will slow the freezing process, or stop it completely. Have you ever stuck a bottle of gin in the freezer? Don't do that with non-alcoholic gin!
