MEET THE FOUNDERS
THE AVEC STORY
We created ALTINA because we love wine… but we wanted it to love us back. For us, wine has always been about more than alcohol. It’s the glass in hand at the end of the day, the laughter with friends, the ritual of slowing down. But too often, alcohol didn’t fit the way we wanted to live.
That’s why we started ALTINA, to reimagine wine as a unique non-alcoholic experience layered with botanicals for depth and flavour.
AVEC takes that vision further, starting from premium Australian wine that is gently de-alcoholised, balanced with botanicals, and elevated by our FLOWSTATE blend of L-theanine and magnesium.
It’s wine reimagined with science, designed to work with you. A ritual you know and love, made modern for the way you want to live today.
FAQs
Unlike many non-alcoholic wines that rely on added sugar or juice, FLOWSTATE starts with real wine, gently dealcoholised, then layered with botanicals for depth and balance (just like ALTINA). On top of that, we add our unique FLOWSTATE blend of L-theanine and magnesium glycinate, so it’s not just about taste, it’s about how you feel.
The FLOWSTATE™ blend combines L-theanine (200 mg per two glasses) and magnesium glycinate (240 mg per two glasses). Both are well-researched ingredients that support relaxation, mental clarity, and balance in the nervous system. It’s a way to enjoy the ritual of wine with functional benefits.

- FLOWSTATE Shiraz: A full-bodied red with dark fruit notes, gentle tannins, and a peppery finish.
- FLOWSTATE Mango Spritzer: Crisp, sparkling, and tropical, balanced with citrus and herbal undertones.
Both are refreshingly dry, with no added sugar, juice, or syrup.
Most people describe FLOWSTATE as a gentle sense of calm and clarity. They feel relaxed but not drowsy, steady and smooth. Everyone’s experience may be a little different, but it’s designed to help you feel present and balanced without losing focus.
We recommend enjoying two or more servings to help you find a state of centered calm, but everyone’s experience is unique.
Enjoy as you would a regular wine. Here are our suggestions.
Shiraz
Profile: Dark fruit notes, gentle tannins, and subtle spice. Pairs Perfectly with:
- Slow-Cooked Lamb Shanks
- Roasted Eggplant with Tahini & Pomegranate
- Dark Chocolate & Sea Salt
- Aged Cheddar or Manchego
Serve at room temperature in a red wine glass. Decant if desired. After opening, refrigerate and consume within 2 days.
Mango Spritzer
Profile: Bright, refreshing, lightly tropical with a crisp spritz. Uplifting and easy-drinking. Pairs Perfectly with:
- Fresh Prawn Tacos with Lime & Coriander
- Summer Salads with Feta & Mint

- Soft Cheeses (Burrata or Brie)
Serve at room temperature in a flute or coupe. After opening, seal well refrigerate and consume within 2 days.
Absolutely. The FLOWSTATE blend is the same in both, so you can swap between Shiraz and Mango Spritzer depending on your mood, meal, or setting and still receive the same calming support.

No. L-theanine is known for promoting calm focus, not sedation. Studies suggest it helps you feel relaxed yet alert, like being present without being slowed down. Magnesium supports nervous system balance but won’t put you to sleep.
Yes. Both ingredients are used well within researched ranges for safety and effectiveness. Two glasses provide a functional dose, but you can absolutely enjoy more if you’d like. The calming effects stay smooth and steady rather than intensifying with extra servings.
Always check with your healthcare professional if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing a medical condition.
FLOWSTATE wines are dealcoholised, meaning they contain less than 0.02% ABV, a level similar to natural fruit juices.
Both varietals are naturally lower in calories than traditional wine since they contain no added sugars or syrups.

Love the new bubbly
The Shiraz was quite similar to the existing Pepperberry Shiraz . I couldn’t taste much difference.
Love the products
- Steve P.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 weeks agoI could chill and enjoy
You will see I have ordered a second batch of 6 Avec Flowstate. I am really enjoying this wine and have a glass later in the evening to wind down prior to retiring for the night. I am drinking less and have been completely satisfied after a glass, and now alcohol free for the longest time ever in my life.
- Heidi G.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoDelivers as promised
The mango spritzer is delicious, not too sweet, perfect for a Sunday lunch with family and friends. It feels 'grown up', not like having a sickly sweet soft drink, or a boring water, or a cold.. The Shiraz is really nice too for evening wind down. It takes a little adjustment if you're used to alcohol but the palate gets a nice warmth after the first few sips and, combined with a good wind down routine, definitely supports a relaxing readiness for the night.
- Jennifer S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoReally like the shiraz
I did feel more relaxed and found a glass or 2 more satisfying and less depressing than wine with alcohol would have been. Nowadays only the end of the first glass of wine has that ‘pick me up’ step to expansion and relaxation, then the depressant effects come out even if the overt effects can feel good. Until the aftereffects begin. The effects of the AVEC FlowState aren’t as fast, but they also don’t seem to drop off. There is also no after effect or rebound – which is a big advantage.

Well, you’ve outdone yourself. That mango spritzer is an absolute winner and will be a summer staple. I also liked the Shiraz and I’m not normally a Shiraz drinker so it’s nice to have that darker red alternative. I think I noticed a subtle relaxing effect of the Shiraz.
