Food Scientist, Janet, on the Benefits of a De-Alcoholized Lifestyle
This season, Glimmer had a proud and memorable moment as Janet Helou — our Food Scientist and expert in flavour innovation — stepped into the spotlight at the Women’s Show to deliver an insightful talk on the growing movement toward a de-alcoholized lifestyle. With a room full of curious attendees, Janet shared not only knowledge, but encouragement, empowerment, and a fresh perspective on how we celebrate.
A Conversation That Sparkled With Insight
Janet’s presentation explored the science, the lifestyle benefits, and the emotional reasons behind choosing alcohol-free options — without sacrificing taste, ritual, or sophistication. She highlighted how dealcoholized sparkling wine like Glimmer allows people to enjoy:
✨ social connection without the side effects
✨ better sleep and brighter mornings
✨ improved hydration and reduced sugar intake
✨ celebration that aligns with wellness goals
Her message resonated with women from every walk of life — mothers, professionals, students, athletes, caregivers, creators, and those simply seeking a clearer, more balanced way to toast life’s moments.
Breaking Myths, Building Confidence
During the session, Janet also addressed common misconceptions about dealcoholized wine, explaining:
that it begins as real wine
how the alcohol is gently removed
how flavour, aroma, and bubbles are preserved
why it tastes refined—not like juice
The room buzzed with curiosity and relief — finally, a beverage option that feels elevated, intentional, and adult, without pressure, stigma, or compromise.
A Celebration of Choice
What made Janet’s talk so powerful wasn’t just the science — it was the validation.
She reminded attendees that:
✅ choosing not to drink doesn’t need an explanation
✅ celebration should feel good during and after
✅ you don’t have to trade elegance for wellness
✅ clarity can be just as festive as cocktails
It was a moment that reflected what Glimmer stands for at its core — celebration on your terms.
A Beautiful Weekend of Sipping, Learning, and Community
Following her talk, guests visited the Glimmer booth to taste our sparkling varietals, ask questions, and share stories. Many were surprised by the bubbles, impressed by the flavour, and relieved to find something that fits seamlessly into their lifestyle.
The Women’s Show became more than an event — it became a gathering of women cheering for themselves, for each other, and for choices that feel aligned, intentional, and joyful.
Why This Matters for the Future
Janet’s presence marked an exciting milestone for Glimmer:
expanding education
elevating mindfulness
leading conversations
redefining celebration culture
As the sober-curious movement grows, Glimmer continues to proudly stand at the intersection of luxury, wellness, and empowerment — and Janet’s voice helps carry that mission forward.
