AFNA Wine Certified™ by AFicioNAdo™ stands as the first professional certification program focused exclusively on non-alcoholic and alcohol-removed wines. This initiative is set to launch on August 15, 2025.

AFNA Wine Certified™ was developed in collaboration with Rachel Martin, an experienced winemaker and pioneer in premium non-alcoholic wines. The professional certification program aims to educate beverage professionals on production methods, sensory evaluation, labeling regulations, and market trends within this emerging category. The curriculum covers both foundational and advanced topics, with a final assessment requiring an 80% passing score to earn certification.

The AFNA Wine Certified™ program arrives as global demand for alcohol-free alternatives grows, with non-alcoholic wine sales increasing by approximately 7% annually and the broader AFNA market projected to reach $1 billion by 2026.
