From Science to Sips: Altina's Mission to Revolutionise Wine

In this episode, I sit down with Christina Delay, Ph.D. the visionary founder of ALTINA Drinks, a company revolutionising the non-alcoholic wine industry with a scientific approach and a deep appreciation for native Australian botanicals. With a background in Chemical Biotechnology and Plant Biology, Christina shares her personal journey of disrupting the beverage world. Motivated by the search for alcohol alternatives that retain the same complexity and enjoyment, she turned her expertise toward crafting unique, botanically infused wines. Unlike other non-alcoholic wines, ALTINA avoids sugar and grape juice concentrates, opting instead for native Australian botanicals that offer depth and character, creating a taste experience celebrated worldwide.  In this engaging conversation, we explore: Christina’s vision and how she brought ALTINA from idea to fruition, building it into a major player in the non-alcoholic wine space.  The meaning behind every element of ALTINA—from branding and labelling to ingredients—making the product a journey of discovery beyond wine.  Christina’s passion for mentoring startups, offering logistical and business guidance through her Canberra-based hub, fostering innovation and growth in the local entrepreneurial community.  Tune in for an inspiring discussion about disrupting industries, fostering innovation, and redefining experiences—without alcohol!  https://altinadrinks.com/
