5 questions to... Esmee Langereis

5 questions to... Esmee Langereis

She had a life steeped in alcohol as a wine journalist. But even privately, she was not quick to say no to a glass. Out of necessity, Esmee Langereis stopped drinking a couple of years ago, and she enjoyed it surprisingly well. The only problem was finding really tasty alternatives. Meanwhile, she knows exactly where to find those gems and now shares them with us on the first alcohol-free online beverage guide What To Drink. -Text Marjolein Schuman

1. Congratulations! Should we all stay away from alcohol?

'That's definitely not the mission, What To Drink is inclusive! I help you find something tasty for times when you don't want alcohol. People are increasingly opting for alcohol-free. And there are really nice, special, complex alternatives, although they are hard to find. I try to get this into the heads of the trade and the catering industry. Stay curious! I give advice and workshops to professionals, update them and let them taste new things. Closing yourself off to alcohol-free is not very customer-friendly and besides, you are losing sales.'
