Majken Bech-Bailey, founder of BÆK, is an internationally renowned sommelier and a pioneer in alcohol-free pairings at Michelin-starred restaurants. Her journey began at Denmark’s two-star Henne Kirkeby Kro and continued at Norway’s three-star Maaemo. In Ireland, she gained acclaim for her innovative non-alcoholic pairings at Aimsir, the two-star Michelin restaurant she cofounded, which made history by earning its stars just four months after opening.

Majken’s mission has always been to create a true alternative to wine for those who aren’t drinking. Most wine substitutes fall short because they simply remove alcohol from lower-quality wine, and directly replace with sugar to try and save whatever flavour is left. BÆK takes a different approach, building its rich, multilayered flavours from a vast range of premium ingredients to offer a product that offers the length, depth, and complexity of wine. Unlike anything else on the market, BÆK is specifically crafted for pairing with food, with a multi-layered flavour profile that mirrors wine’s length on the palate, its complexity, and its full-bodied character. Pairing food with wine is about elevating both - the right match doesn’t just complement but transforms the experience, bringing out the nuances in both and creating something greater than the sum of its parts. BÆK was designed to offer the same dynamic, multi-dimensional experience - without the alcohol.

Intricate is a rich, complex blend featuring aronia berries that provide a tannic structure. Balancing between the depth of a Bordeaux and the fruity richness of a Cabernet Franc, it’s designed to be savoured slowly for a truly unique experience.

The base, made from Irish aronia berry juice slowly infused with our own black tea and Alexandra seeds blend, gives great depth and length to the brew. After the infusion process, elderberry and merlot is added, bringing fruitiness to the batch. To elevate the acidity level and give a smooth mouth feeling the batch is finished with 5-year old barrel aged raspberry balsamic, bringing the infusion to the next level.

Mellow offers a gentle, honeyed flavour with subtle notes of oak. It draws inspiration from the smooth elegance of a light oak Chardonnay with the sweetness of a Sauternes, making it ideal for leisurely enjoyment.

The base, made from organic Irish apple and Chardonnay juice infused with roasted Jerusalem artichokes, gives depth and complexity to the brew. We wash our base with beeswax to give it elegance, a soft sweetness and a buttery mouth feel. To ease the acidity from the apple and the sweetness of the artichoke we add a touch of Achill Island Sea Salt and tonka beans which brings the infusion to a new dimension of taste.
