Sips & Flicks: No and Low Pairings for Your Favourite Films

Gather your favourite people—whether it’s your gal pals, your partner, or your chosen family—and get ready for a cosy, love-filled evening! There’s no better way to celebrate love and laughter than with the perfect pairing of iconic romance flicks and delicious no- and low-alcohol drinks.

From heartfelt tearjerkers to toe-tapping musicals, we’ve matched each of IMDb’s all-time top 10 chick flicks with a drink that complements the vibe of the film. Whether you’re into sparkling teas, alcohol-free wines, or refreshing mocktails, these pairings will elevate your movie night and make it truly unforgettable. 

When Harry Met Sally 

When Harry Met Sally, a timeless romantic comedy that explores the age-old question: can men and women truly be just friends? It's the perfect blend of laughter and love, making it an enduring favourite for any movie night. 

For Sally lover's, we've paired Pierre Chavin Sauvignon Blanc–it's a bright, zesty wine with flavour of lime and green apple. It's punchy yet soft, much like Sally's Character.

For the Harry rooters, we recommend Brooklyn Special Effects Lager–brewed by a renowned New York brewery, this lager offers flavours of peeled grapefruit, fresh zesty hop aromas, and a clean, bitter edge. As a true New York resident, Harry perfectly embodies this brooklyn brew.

Bridget Jones's Diary

Bridget Jones's Diary is a hilariously relatable rom-com that follows the ups and downs of Bridget, a thirty-something navigating love, career, and self-improvement.

We can all agree that Bridget Jones's is an odd bird and extremely likeable, a character we all adore. She perfectly embodies Oddbird GSM–rich layers of dark berries and plums, elegantly intertwined with subtle hints of spice. 

 The Notebook

The Notebook is a sweeping romantic drama that tells the story of Noah and Allie, two star-crossed lovers from different worlds whose love withstands the test of time. We can all agree this film had made us emotional train wrecks once or twice.

For the Noah lovers, we recommend the Athletic Run Wild IPA. Noah is the hero of the story–strong and undeniably charming–just like Run Wild IPA. With a bold presence of 100% beer and 0% alcohol, it's the perfect match for Noah who will Run Wild for Allie.  

Allie is a passionate woman from a sophisticated family, much like Kolonne Null Cuvee Rouge No.2. This elegant red wine offers flavours of ripe dark fruits, complemented by notes of vanilla, chocolate, and a gentle hint of oak–sophistication without the alcohol. 

Dirty Dancing

Dirty Dancing is an electrifying romance that combines sizzling dance moves, unforgettable music, and the magic of a summer love story. 

Just like Wednesday's Domaine Elan, Frances "Baby" is a delicate, pink-hued beauty—perfect for whiling away long, balmy days. This refreshing rosé combines bright acidity with notes of summer fruits, making it effortlessly elegant and easygoing.

Johnny is a passionate character with a touch of spice, much like Thomson & Scott Noughty Syrah. Bursting with hints of ripe red fruit, crushed black pepper, dried rose petals, and candied cherries, it's a bold yet refined choice that perfectly captures Johnny's spirited nature. 

Miss Congeniality 

Grace Hart is a true blend of toughness and charm, Grace is perfectly represented by Brulo Highway to Hell Lager–fresh and balanced with light malt, grassy floral hops, and a touch of dry bitterness on the finish. While she's a tomboyish detective at heart, she also has a softer, more elegant side, much like Zeno Sparkling Rosé, with its juicy red berry flavours of strawberries and raspberries, complemented by delicate floral undertones. 

 Fried Green Tomatoes

Just like Fried Green Tomatoes, set in the Heart of the American South, Rebels 0.0% Malt Blend whisky alternative delivers rich, smoky roasted malt notes, followed by hints caramel, vanilla, and a gentle touch of spice. Much like Idgie, the film's fiercely independent and rebellious main character, it embodies boldness with a warm, inviting spirit. 

Mamma Mia!

Reminiscent of the iconic scene in Mamma Mia! where Tanya dazzles in a bright red bathing suit while singing 'Does Your Mother Know', this delicious red cocktail alternative perfectly captures the boldness and flair of the moment. We recommend the Mocktails Karma Sucra Mockapolitan to channel the energy of Tanya on the beach. 

You've Got Mail

Botivo is the perfect spirit to pair with You've Got Mail, capturing its bittersweet charm with herbal notes and backbone of apple cider vinegar, beautifully balanced by sweetness of honey. Much like the film, Botivo exudes a distinct New York presence, and its design–reminiscent a classic book cover– feels right at home in the world of cosy bookstores and heartfelt connections. 

Love Rosie

It could only be Rosé for Rosie! DIVIN Rosé is the ideal fit, with vibrant notes of blackberry and strawberry taking center stage, while a refreshing hint of citrus adds a touch of complexity–just like Rosie herself. 

A free spirit with a calming presence, Alex is perfectly matched with Three Spirit Nightcap–a soothing blend of caramlised fruits, delicately balanced with hints of wood and spice, offering a sense warmth and tranquility. 

Serendipity 

Serendipity, set around the holiday season, perfectly captures the magic of winter, making Talonmore the ideal spirit to complement it. With warming notes of ginger, cinnamon, and subtle clove, it brings a comforting embrace against the cold. Its rich, amber hue evokes the look of a well-aged whisky, adding to the film's cosy, nostalgic charm.

Brooklyn Special Effects

A hoppy lager that surprises with its piney aroma and pleasantly bitter finish. Its bready sweetness comes from a blend of pale caramel and dark roasted Munich malts, while the unexpected aroma is achieved through dry-hopping with Mosaic, Citra, and Amarillo hops—a technique rarely seen in alcohol-free brewing.
