Alcohol-Free Pairings Take a Larger Place on the Menu at Los Angeles' Leading Dining Rooms

Los Angeles' leading restaurants are putting more work into the drinks they pour alongside a meal for guests who are not drinking alcohol, The Hollywood Reporter reports. As fewer diners in the city order wine and spirits, these restaurants are treating the alcohol-free pairing as a menu offering in its own right, with prices to match. The publication reports that the pairings now help restaurants hold their margins. For diners in Beverly Hills and across the city, that means a glass built for each course, whether or not it contains alcohol.
