FAQ
OSAN was created at the l'Air du Temps restaurant by Chef Sang Hoon Degeimbre to offer a 0.00% alcohol beverage to those who want to accompany their meals with finesse, in a rewarding and satisfying manner. OSAN is a premium plant-based beverage obtained through a unique process. Our natural process ensures an intense aroma, subtle taste, balance, and a lingering finish without the use of refined sugars, distillates, or artificial flavors. Therefore, it is not non-alcoholic wine, flavored water, fruit juice, or fermented beverage.
Osan stands out from non-alcoholic spirits with its rich and harmonious flavor that can be savored on its own, without the addition of sweet soft drinks. No need for a sugary sidekick to shine, it's tough enough to handle things on its own. Healthier, more economical, it doesn't try to imitate alcohol, it completely overshadows it. Osan offers a unique taste experience, designed to accompany gastronomy with elegance and finesse
NO, OSAN doesn't taste like wine and is not based on grape fermentation.

The purpose of OSAN is not to imitate the taste of wine, but to complement the meal just as well. To guide both professionals and individuals, it has been found that the colors of wine are a good reference point. OSAN VC white will pair well with dishes typically enjoyed with white wine, and so on.
