Wine Professional 2026 Amsterdam: inspiration, encounters and new discoveries

We tasted new vintages, met existing suppliers, and discovered exciting wines from new producers. From white Rioja and oak-aged Chardonnay to rosé and fuller-bodied reds. An inspiring day full of great conversations, familiar faces, and new ideas. With several beautiful new additions on the way, we are enthusiastically continuing with Wijnhuis Cave. 🍷

At Wijnhuis Cave, we find them a great match: accessible, tasteful, and exactly the kind of wines you put on the table that immediately pique everyone's curiosity.

Alcohol-free isn't boring. Really, it isn't.
In this blog, Wijnhuis Cave breaks the cliché that wine professionals only drink wine and have nothing to do with non-alcoholic beverages. According to them, it's not about all or nothing, but about balance: choosing what suits the moment. Alcohol-free has long ceased to be a trend, but rather a conscious movement, something Casper and Vera – currently in marathon training – fully identify with. Not all alcohol-free drinks are the same. De-alcoholized wine, in particular, often lacks excitement and flavour because the alcohol is removed afterwards. That's why Wijnhuis Cave prefers to focus on naturally alcohol-free drinks, such as high-quality tea or fruit and herb combinations, which offer structure, bitterness, acidity, and complexity without pretending to be wine. Alcohol-free can be mature, exciting, and seriously delicious. It's not about drinking less wine, but about drinking better – sometimes with alcohol, sometimes without. Finally, Wijnhuis Cave shares three favourite alcohol-free alternatives from their range: Jörg Geiger Cuvée no. 11: green apple, blossom, lime, and herbs Jörg Geiger 32°: green apple, peach, quince, and fennel Vincero Rosé Alcoholfree: strawberry, raspberry, grapefruit, and rose petals Even without alcohol, it remains enjoyable at the Cave.
