Writer Vassi Chamberlain recalled meeting the mischievous Delevingne for the first time at her aunt’s wedding in 2001. It’s unlikely she was prepared for Cara’s response.

“You know I got drunk that day,” she says. “I was eight, what a crazy age to get drunk.”

Having lived through this critical journey to sobriety for so many years, Cara is uniquely positioned to discuss her alcohol-free sparkling rosé Della Vite Zero, which she has recently launched in a business founded with her two older sisters Chloe and Poppy in 2018.

Less eloquently than supermodel Bella Hadid discusses her non-alcoholic drink Kin Euphorics, the prominent-family Brit pushes back on health and wellbeing issues attached to many entries in the growing non-alcohol category.

“I didn’t want to do this because I’m now sober,” she says ,“but because I wanted an alternative.” She doesn’t mean to alcohol specifically, although of course that was behind it too, but because since she has become sober, she has struggled to find a nonalcoholic drink that isn’t full of sugar and high in calories. “I’d go out to dinner and drink seven ginger beers. I’d get a sugar hangover and a headache. It’s so stupid because you still end up feeling like shit. I wanted people like me to have a choice.”

The Delevigne sisters are daughters of their famous mother Pandora Delevingne, who first used heroin days after her 18th birthday. One assumes that being diagnosed with a serious bipolar condition, coupled with drug use presented very big challenges for Pandora’s daughters.

Enjoying more than one glass of Della Vite Zero, Chamberlain notes that “It tastes surprisingly good and has that sharpness of taste you normally associate with alcohol.”

Did she toast Cara’s recovery? No, but we will. Here’s to you, Cara. May the force be with you. ~ Anne
