Bringing Non-alcoholic beer and wine onboard

[* Angela *]

Hi!  Does anyone know what the policy is for bringing non-alcoholic wine (750 ml bottles) and beer onboard?  I know you can bring 12 cans/bottles of soda and/or water onboard but wasn't sure about non-alcoholic beer and wine.  Thanks!

It will likely depend on the staff at the security check point or on board staff if you put it in your checked luggage but probably should be fine.

Non alcoholic wine just like alcoholic wine, 1 bottle per adult in your carry on bag.  Non alcoholic beer is not allowed.  That has to be purchased on board.

And NA beer isn’t completely NA as I understand it.  Just very low abv.   So that might explain why it is treated different than soda. Maybe there are completely NA beers, but I always thought there had to be some alcohol in them.

Federally, a beer with under 0.5% alcohol isn't considered beer. But states have varying laws on N/A beers, which is likely why RC still lumps them into the alcohol package.
