- AMANDA THOMSON, FOUNDER & CEO
Just a few years ago, craft non-alcoholic beer surged into the global market. Non-alcoholic wine, by contrast, remained largely underdeveloped, with few credible options for consumers seeking quality or variety. Amanda Thomson saw an opportunity to change that.
A Le Cordon Bleu–trained wine specialist and former BBC correspondent, Amanda founded Thomson & Scott first producing fine Champagne. In 2019, she set out to create premium alcohol-free wines rooted in vineyard quality, transparent winemaking, and corporate responsibility. She built one of the first full-range brands designed to deliver a true wine experience without compromise.
