Dry January just got very easy now that BÆK by Majken Bech Bailey is here. Known for her imaginative non-alcoholic pairings at the two Michelin star restaurant Aimsir, Majken Bech Bailey’s next move sees her crafting her own brand of non-alcoholic wine alternatives with BÆK, named for the old Danish spelling of her surname. BÆK, which has launched with a non-alcholic white wine and red wine, is the realisation of her passion for creating exceptional non-alcoholic alternatives and follows her collaboration with Velvære Spa at the Radisson Blu Royal hotel for EIR by BÆK, a range of seasonal, foraged and locally sourced fresh juices, elixirs and infusions served to guests of the spa.
