Wedding beverage service traditionally divides guests into drinkers and non-drinkers, creating separate experiences that highlight rather than minimize differences. This approach feels increasingly outdated as couples prioritize inclusivity and recognize that many guests moderate consumption, are pregnant, designated driving, or simply prefer not to drink on particular occasions.

You want to participate in celebratory moments, enjoy complex flavors, and feel included in social drinking culture. What you get instead are beverages that announce your abstinence through their obvious artificiality and juvenile sweetness. The problem isn't with the...
