The no-alcohol specialty corporation Hydro Oasis won the grand award at the 2025 Korea Wine & Spirits Awards for its "Andong Station Non-Alcoholic Makgeolli Sweet Chestnut Cake and Original" and "Zero Moscato."

The sweet chestnut cake flavor is characterized by a harmony of the deep flavor and smooth texture of traditional makgeolli. The distinctive charm of this drink comes from the nutty taste of chestnuts and the natural sweetness that fills the mouth.

The original flavor boasts a deep aroma and taste reminiscent of drinking freshly squeezed makgeolli made from precious baekjinju rice from Andong. The unique subtle sweetness and nuttiness of baekjinju rice can be enjoyed even more richly.

Zero Moscato is a captivating non-alcoholic white wine that boasts a bright and transparent golden hue, with sweet acacia flower aromas blending with the scent of well-ripened fruits. The addition of soft and subtle bubbles enhances the refreshing and cool flavor.

A representative from Hydro Oasis noted, "We plan to continue developing new non-alcoholic products to expand our influence beyond the domestic market to the global market" and added, "We will introduce even more diverse flavors and personalities in non-alcoholic beverages to grow together with the Korean agricultural market and farmers."
