Dry January takeover of Zetter Townhouses

Start off the year in a mindful manner at the Oddbird takeover of Zetter Townhouse in London for Dry January.

For the month of January, Oddbird will be taking over the Zetter Townhouse in Marylebone and Clerkenwell with a full wine and cocktail menu liberated from alcohol. Afternoon Tea at Zetter Townhouses will also be paired with Oddbird non-alcoholic sparkling and low intervention wine.

”Oddbird is the best non-alcoholic wine I've ever tasted. It follows my philosophy of minimum intervention wine making in the winery with organic practices in the vineyard. The wines are made by top winemakers like Contrà Soarda and it's liberated from alcohol by Oddbird. Oddbird is unique in its approach and full of character just like The Zetter Townhouses which are quirky and fun London destinations serving drinks of the highest quality. I'm looking forward to the two coming together in the New Year for the takeover and collaboration."

– Bert Blaize, Sommelier

What your table wants for Christmas

This December we are launching a new limited series of wine coolers by Paula Atelier. And their function serves to more than cooling wine - they are also a piece of art for a liberated holiday table.

A while ago we challenged the norm of cooling and serving wine, with a collection of original coolers in stoneware clay by artist Paula Martinsson. Now we are happy to be able to launch a few more of these handcrafted originals.

Clay is nature’s very own fridge. It has tiny pores in the surface which in turn enables liquids to slowly evaporate. This results in the temperature dropping and the content to stay cold even in warm surroundings. Clay pot coolers, also known as evaporative cooling refrigerators, date back to 3000BC to the Indus Valley Civilization. This genius tech of nature enables wine coolers of clay to cool wine to the perfect temperature.

So now you can serve your holiday beverages the way they deserve.

Another World’s First

We want to make it as easy as possible to opt out of alcohol for every conceivable occasion. That’s why we just released the world’s first organic sparkling wine liberated from alcohol - on a can.

A recyclable slim can has in average 3 times less CO2 footprint per liter in comparison to a traditional glass bottle. This is an important step for us towards not only creating products that are socially sustainable but also environmentally sustainable.

Oddbird Organic Blanc de Blancs is made from 100% Chardonnay from the French region of Languedoc-Roussillon. With notes of green apple, honey, lime and herbs, the wine’s taste is fresh and fruity. As always, our wine has been stored for up to 12 months and then gently liberated from alcohol. Now available in Sweden, for purchase at every Systembolaget as well as systembolaget.se.

Functional sculptures by Paula Atelier.

Is there a norm within cooling wine? We believe so, and it’s time for it to be challenged.

We are thrilled to announce our latest collaboration - a collection of functional sculptures with artist Paula Martinsson of Paula Atelier. Hand crafted with organic design in stoneware clay, they challenge the norm of traditional wine coolers, using nature’s own cooling function.

Nowhere 2020

In august 2020 we opened a restaurant in Häringe nature reserve. The restaurant had 6 unique tables in different settings in almost complete isolation.

The Unwasted Cocktail.

Together with IMA cocktailbar and bartender Jens Dahlberg we created a cocktail made with kitchen scraps from a food pairing by Frida Ronge, award-winning chef and culinary director at TAK and UNN.

5 cl Cucumber core water
3 cl Fennel syrup
2 cl Yuzu juice
Top up with Oddbird Spumante
Finish with smoked scallop roe zest alternatively sprinkled umami salt.

Collaboration with award-winning chef and author Frida Ronge.

Frida Ronge is currently the culinary director at TAK and UNN focusing on innovative fusion between the Scandinavian and Japanese cuisine. She is also an ambassador for sustainable fishing at MSC.

Scallop paired with Oddbird Blanc de Blancs. This wine is very crispy and pairs exceptionally well with fish and seafood. – Frida

Zucchini noodles paired with Oddbird Spumante. This wine has such power that it enables me to work with hot and spicy, perfect with wasabi and to drink as an aperitif. – Frida.

Seared trout paired with Oddbird Rosé. This sparkling rosé is a full bodied wine therefore it matches great with a creamy sauce – Frida.

”Oddbird’s wines are the closest I have tasted to sparkling wines with alcohol. It was easier than I thought to pair their wines to food because I recognize all the flavors.”

Gin, made by Sweden.

We are about to launch a gin, made with distilled juniper & unique berries and botanicals from Norrland and Lappland. The project is in collaboration with Research Institutes of Sweden to boost the agricultural economy of Northern Sweden. 18 November we gathered beverage experts from all over Sweden to improve and refine the taste. The gin will be launched in 2020.
