Is BARHI Low-Sugar?

BARHI is Low-sugar and high on flavour. It’s naturally light and clean. Each 330 ml bottle contains just 1.52 g of natural sugar, coming only from the dates and honey used in fermentation. That’s less than most kombuchas or tonic waters. The truth about “sugar-free” Under UK law, any drink containing less than 0.5 g of sugar per 100 ml can be labelled sugar-free. BARHI sits comfortably in that category, at 0.46 g/100 ml, yet we prefer to be transparent and call it no added sugar, so you know exactly what you’re drinking. No syrups, no shortcuts Unlike most modern alcoholic drinks, BARHI has no added sugars or artificial sweeteners. The sugar comes solely from its natural ingredients, Barhee dates and honey, which also give it depth and complexity. Why it tastes so clean Low sugar means more than fewer calories (just 34 kcal per 100 ml), it means a crisp, refreshing finish that doesn’t stick to your palate. BARHI feels lighter, bubbles brighter, and pairs more elegantly with food. Perfect for mindful drinkers Whether you’re counting calories or simply cutting back on sugar, BARHI lets you enjoy a drink without compromise. It’s crafted for balance, sparkling, flavourful, and refreshingly guilt-free.

Yes, BARHI is 100% gluten-free. Unlike beer or malt-based drinks, BARHI is brewed entirely from dates and honey, with zero grains or gluten-containing ingredients. That means you get the refreshment and sparkle of a craft beverage without the heaviness or discomfort that many experience with traditional beer. Why gluten matters in alcohol Most beers and many spirits are made from grains like barley, wheat, or rye, all of which naturally contain gluten. Even trace residues can make a big difference to people who are coeliacs or simply prefer cleaner, lighter options. Wine and cider are naturally gluten-free, but they tend to be higher in sugar or calories. That’s where BARHI stands apart: a drink that’s free from gluten but still has a crisp, beer-like satisfaction. The BARHI difference BARHI isn’t a beer, cider, or wine, it’s a sparkling mead, made from Barhee dates and pure honey. Those natural ingredients ferment into a refreshing, effervescent drink that’s smooth on the palate and light on the stomach. No grains, no gluten: 100% naturally gluten-free. Dry, crisp finish: Like beer, but lighter and cleaner. Only 0.46 g sugar per 100 ml: No added sugar, no syrupy aftertaste. Naturally brewed: No chemicals, additives, or flavourings. How it feels compared to beer BARHI delivers a familiar satisfaction, the sparkle, the crisp chill, and the perfect balance with food, but it won’t leave you feeling bloated or heavy. It’s designed for people who love the taste of beer but want something that’s cleaner, modern, and free from gluten. Perfect for spice lovers Because it’s dry and lightly carbonated, BARHI pairs beautifully with Indian, Thai, or Chinese dishes, refreshing your palate without masking the flavours.

Before beer and wine existed, there was mead. Long before hops met barley or grapes met oak, people were fermenting honey, water, and yeast to create something naturally golden and intoxicating. Mead is one of the world’s oldest alcoholic drinks, enjoyed everywhere from China to Viking feasts. At its simplest, mead is honey wine. Honey, water, and yeast ferment together to produce alcohol, with flavour profiles that can be floral, dry, rich, or crisp. It has been made across cultures for thousands of years. Why it matters today Mead is becoming modern again. Brewers across the world are experimenting with fruit infusions and carbonation to create lighter, more refreshing versions. In a world full of over-processed alcohol, mead feels honest. It is closer to nature and easier to understand. How BARHI redefines it BARHI takes the timeless idea of mead and shapes it for today. Using dates and honey, BARHI creates a sparkling version that is clean, crisp, and designed to pair with food. It is low in sugar, gluten free, and made without additives. BARHI is a natural fit for Asian cuisine and flavour-rich meals. Try the world’s first sparkling date-based mead
