  • “It's fantastic to get such a complex and nuanced drink in the glass completely without alcohol. Ambijus is a great alternative when you can't or don't want to drink wine.”

    Lise Aanes, Wine journalist

  • “Ambijus makes some of the absolute best in alcohol-free drinks that can go well with food. Fantastic Nordic flavor profile.”

    Robert Kalstad, Head Sommelier, Fagn

  • “I have never come across a non-alcoholic drink that can replace wine with food with such confidence.”

    Monika Wessel, Wine journalist

  • We experience Ambijus as a full-fledged alternative to wine - both with and without food. The Ambijus selection combines freshness and complexity both in terms of aroma and taste, in an aesthetically appealing package

    Espen Hagestrand, Kolonihagen Frogner (Michelin)

  • Ambijus combines natural flavors, complexity, and balance in a way that makes it a complete alternative for any occasion.

    Linn Johnsen, Wine journalist

  • "Ambijus makes serious products with a clear focus on detail. As a wine alternative, it is both interesting and well-balanced – in a world where too many options are unfortunately overly sweet and lacking in character."

    Erlend Lehland, Restaurant manager & Sommelier, Hot Shop

Our focus is on complexity, unique compositions and that the drinks should go well alone or with various food.

Ambijus is not wine – it has no appellation, no terroir. In our case, the "lab" is our terroir.

It is where we explore flavors, interpret the character of the ingredients and combine them in new ways through fermentation, infusions, cold brewing, distillation and more.

With ingredients such as Hardanger apples, fermented tea, spruce tips, lingonberries, wild blueberries, sea buckthorn, oak, pears, angelica root, elderflower, and sea salt, Ambijus offers fruity notes, tannins, spices, and a hint of funk. Every drop is a taste journey inspired by Norwegian nature, produced in Sollihøgda.

FAQs

  • Yes. All of our drinks are <0,5% ABV and therefore alcohol-free. This is approx. as much as you’ll find in a ripe banana, bread or kefir.

  • No. Ambijus is made with acidity, structure, tannins and balance that make it a natural partner for food - much like wine. Ambijus is its own category.

  • Yes

  • Yes, our bottles are pasteurized so they are safe for those who are pregnant.

  • Founders: Christian Jansen and Alexander Jansen.

    We are a Norwegian team of food-loving flavor enthusiasts behind the brand, and our official company is called Nolo Nordic AS. Our HQ is just outside of Oslo.
