Sobering thoughts: The best of non-alcoholic cocktails, beers, wines and more

Options for non drinkers have come a long way.
Around a dozen years ago I researched an article on non-alcoholic drinks for a different newspaper and I despaired at the poor quality of much of what was available. This time my struggle was what to leave out.
These days the options are everywhere with better quality beers and wines and with complex kombuchas and kick-ass kefirs, not to mention a wealth of cocktail ingredients.
