De Soi and Ghia define the high-end non-alcoholic apéritif category, both built for the sober-curious wave. Ghia's the OG — bitter, complex, Mediterranean-bottle aesthetics. De Soi is louder and sweeter, with Katy Perry as co-founder and adaptogens (reishi, maca, L-theanine) folded into the blends. Ghia drinks more like a real apéritif; De Soi drinks more like a refreshment-first cocktail substitute.
The bottom lineBoth brands score identically on taste (4.89/5 stars) and offer free shipping over $60, but differ meaningfully on price, returns, and positioning. Ghia edges ahead on editorial quality (84 vs. 78) and sustainability (75 vs. 58), plus offers a 15-day return window—valuable for trying a new category. De Soi positions as a premium dinner-party choice with adaptogens and celebrity backing, justifying its higher price tier; choose it if you want sophisticated branding and don't need return flexibility. Ghia suits budget-conscious shoppers and those wanting a safety net, with clearer ingredient transparency (no added sugar, no artificial flavors explicitly stated).
