Amanda Thomson the Founder and CEO of Thomson & Scott was voted one of Business Insider’s Coolest People in Food & Drink 2019. Leading the global shift to alcohol-free drinking, Thomson launched game-changing Noughty alcohol-free, organic, vegan, and low sugar wines.
Amanda is also driving the debate for greater transparency in wine production and labelling and wants consumers to push to know what’s in their bottle. Raised on a plant-based, no sugar diet by her health-conscious mother, Thomson has always had a keen interest as to what’s in her food.
Formerly an Arts Broadcaster at the BBC, Thomson moved her young family to Paris and studied for her Diploma in Wine at the renowned Le Cordon Bleu School where she was Entrepreneur of the Year 2017 and an EY Winning Woman. Thomson is also a Department of International Trade Export Champion.
Thomson & Scott’s Noughty now sells to the world’s coolest bars, restaurants, hotels and spas in key territories including Australia, Europe, North America and now South Africa.
Noughty AF Rouge combines ripe red fruit flavours with a little spice, upheld by its elegant texture with silky tannins, and pleasant, well-balanced acidity.
Produced with Syrah (Shiraz) grapes from dryland farmed vineyards in Darling, South Africa. The grapes are grown in strategically selected sites, which get the warm sunny and cooling effect of the Atlantic Ocean. Deep soils from decomposed granite and rich clay help to provide good drainage.
De-alcoholised to 0.5% using a gently spun cone technology under vacuum and at low temperature to ensure that the wine retains its distinctive body, colour and flavour.
A cheese board is the perfect complement to Noughty Rouge, with creamy feta, goats cheese and cranberry cheddar. It will also pair well with a dark piece of chocolate or dark chocolate desert. It’s a very versatile red wine.

Zero Drinks say:
We have tried many de-alcoholised wines and Noughty Rouge Syrah is definitely the best we have come across and gets the closest to a traditional wine. Although the brand is British, the Syrah (Shiraz) grapes are proudly grown in DarIing South Africa!
Noughty Syrah is a great all-rounder and pairs well with most food suited to red wines. As with all de-alcoholised wines, it tastes the best slightly chilled before serving.
