Oddbird x Zetter Townhouse - Photographer: Sam HarrisWith a vision of transforming drinking culture by producing premium craft wines liberated from alcohol, Oddbird today announces a non-alcoholic wine and cocktail takeover of Zetter Townhouses in Marylebone and Clerkenwell in London for Dry January. Oddbird will be offering guests the opportunity to taste Oddbird wines by the glass along with a range of non-alcoholic cocktails made with Oddbird Spumante, Blanc de Blancs, Sparkling Rosé and the newly launched and world-first non-alcoholic Low Intervention Organic Red and White Wines.
For the month of January, Oddbird will be taking over the Zetter Townhouse in Marylebone and Clerkenwell with a full non-alcoholic wine and cocktail menu and afternoon tea. Zetter Townhouse’s Afternoon Teas will be paired with Oddbird’s premium sparkling wines, offering guests an opportunity to taste Oddbird alongside delicious sandwiches, cakes and scones.

Oddbird produces quality wine in France and Italy using traditional methods from which the alcohol is then liberated. The finest grapes from the best vineyards are selected, at the right level of maturity, and then fermented in the same way as sparkling wine to ensure Oddbird’s unique taste and high quality.

Jack Hibberd, Commercial Director of Low and No Alcohol at Proof Drinks says: “We are delighted to be partnering with Zetter Townhouse for the month of January to offer a full non-alcoholic cocktail menu and afternoon tea pairing. Oddbird has performed really well in the off-trade since its UK launch earlier this year and we are excited to introduce more people in the on-trade to Oddbird’s great non-alcoholic still and sparkling wines at Zetter Townhouse in January.”
Bert Blaize, Sommelier says: “Oddbird is the best non-alcoholic wine I've ever tasted! It follows my philosophy of minimum intervention wine making in the winery with organic practices in the vineyard. The wines are made by top winemakers like Contrà Soarda and it's liberated from alcohol by Oddbird. Oddbird is unique in its approach and full of character just like The Zetter Townhouses which are quirky and fun London destinations serving drinks of the highest quality. I'm looking forward to the two coming together in the New Year for the takeover and collaboration."
This collaboration will take place following government guidelines.

About Zetter Townhouse
Wilhelmina lived in Clerkenwell all her life in the Georgian period. Born in 1727 to a well-to-do family and proud owners of The Zetter Warehouse in Clerkenwell, where they dealt in spice accumulated from their travels all over globe. The warehouse was positioned just a stones throw away, across the historic St Johns square from their family home, The Zetter Townhouse.
On the death of her parents, Wilhelmina inherited the family’s wealth and property and with no other family in London, aside from her troubled Nephew Seymour, Wilhelmina spent her time travelling the world and sourcing treasures from her adventures. When she returned home to London she would fill her house with dinner parties in her Dining room followed by late night soirees in her Games room. It’s safe to say the house was always full of life, however not necessarily full of people of good morals.
On the death of his adored aunt, in 1816 at the age of 89, Seymour inherited Wilhelmina’s house and assets. After being corrupted by his eccentric aunt his hobbies included gambling, horses, drinking and beautiful women, but his love above all else was Art. He was very much a dandy, a Renaissance man, who loved to live, and after just a few short years of inheriting Wilhelmina’s fortune he was forced to downsize and purchased a smaller Townhouse in the wend end of London on Seymour Street. As he aged away from the soft, playful nature of his beloved Aunt, Seymour developed a wicked temper only diluted by his love of nature and watercolour that can still be seen in his Marylebone Townhouse today.
