Peroni without the alcohol sounds like a marketing exercise, but the 0.0% version gets closer to the original than most big-brand attempts. It pours the same pale gold, the carbonation is lively, and that familiar dry, slightly grassy Peroni snap is mostly intact. Where it differs is the finish — a touch sweeter, a little shorter — but poured cold into a glass you would not embarrass yourself serving it at a barbecue.
At under 76 calories a bottle it also undercuts the full-strength version by nearly half. If you want a crisp, unfussy lager that looks the part in your hand, this is one of the safest picks in the supermarket aisle.

Serve it the way you’d serve the original: ice-cold, straight from the fridge, in a chilled glass if you want the full effect — the carbonation and that grassy snap fade quickly once it warms up. It pairs well with the same food you’d put alongside the full-strength version: pizza, antipasti, or anything tomato-and-basil heavy, where the slightly sweeter finish actually works in its favour rather than against it.
It’s widely stocked across UK supermarkets, so it’s one of the easier alcohol-free lagers to pick up without hunting through a specialist drinks aisle. At under 76 calories a bottle, it’s also a reasonable swap if you’re watching intake without giving up the ritual of a cold lager in hand — though as with all 0.0% beers, worth checking the label, since “0.0%” in the UK can still mean trace alcohol content up to 0.05%.
A 330ml bottle of Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% typically runs £1.30-£1.60 in UK supermarkets, in line with other big-brand alcohol-free lagers like Heineken 0.0 and Beck’s Blue, and it is stocked in Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, and most major off-licences — one of the easiest AF lagers to find without hunting a specialist aisle. If you’re comparing it against other alcohol-free lagers on this site, it sits closer to Collider’s fruited AF lagers in carbonation and lightness than to the maltier, more traditional profile of Brooklyn Special Effects.
