Everyone sees non-alcoholic wine & spirits as white space. Health & wellness is at forefront. The issue is that right now, they pretty much suck. They taste terrible. Beer is clearly crushing the N/A space.

Beer industry people: If you’re sitting down w/ friends & family today - try this…. Teach something about beer. The style you’re drinking & why it’s different, what it pairs with, why you chose the glass you did, etc. People love to learn & beer brings people together.
Happy Thanksgiving.
