Nicole actually wanted to start training as a sommelier. Although she didn't tolerate alcohol very well, enjoying and understanding wine was more important to her. Her first pregnancy put an end to her forays into alcohol consumption. But she quickly decided to put her refined palate to work in the service of alcohol-free enjoyment.
This initially resulted in a blog, which, due to its success, eventually led to the highly acclaimed book ‘Die Neue Trinkkultur’ (The New Drinking Culture). Her second book, ‘Alkoholfrei’ (Alcohol-Free), has been published by Swiss publisher AT Verlag in 2023! Nicole is constantly on the lookout for the highest quality non-alcoholic beverages: lightly sweetened, fermented and unusual. She travels throughout Germany, Switzerland and Italy from lecture to bottler, from farmer to chef, from tasting to workshop. In the spirit of slow food, Nicole is increasing the diversity of non-alcoholic enjoyment!
