Our ground-breaking AVEC FLOWSTATE range combines delicious de-alc. wine and a sparkling wine alternative, layered with natural plant extract and flavours, and our functional FLOWSTATE L-theanine.

We believe in transparency. That's why we're sharing some of the published scientific research on L-theanine that informed the development of our FlowState range.
