Championship moments are about more than winning - they're about celebrating the journey, the teammates, and the memories that made it all possible.
That's why we were honored to see Nouvie in the locker room as the Chicago Hounds celebrated their historic 2026 Major League Rugby Championship victory.
After completing an undefeated season, the Chicago Hounds made history by capturing their first MLR title, and seeing players raise bottles of Nouvie alongside the traditional championship celebration was a moment we'll never forget.
For generations, victory celebrations have centered around champagne. But today's athletes are redefining what celebration looks like. Whether it's recovery, moderation, personal preference, or simply wanting another option, premium non-alcoholic beverages are becoming part of the modern sports culture.
At Nouvie, we've always believed that everyone deserves to participate in life's biggest moments without sacrificing the ritual of raising a glass. Seeing an undefeated professional team embrace that philosophy on one of the biggest nights in franchise history was incredibly meaningful.
This milestone also represents something bigger happening across sports. Athletes and organizations are recognizing that celebration doesn't have to be one-size-fits-all. Premium alcohol-free options allow everyone - from players and coaches to family members and staff - to join in the toast.
The Chicago Hounds' championship celebration marks another exciting moment for Nouvie in the world of sports. Nouvie has previously been used to toast a Chicago Cubs clinch and has been enjoyed throughout the Indianapolis 500 paddocks. Now, being part of the Major League Rugby championship locker room adds another unforgettable chapter to our story.
As more teams, venues, and organizations embrace premium non-alcoholic options, we're excited to continue proving that the ritual of celebration belongs to everyone.
Congratulations to the Chicago Hounds on an incredible undefeated season and a well-deserved Major League Rugby Championship.
Here's to history, to champions, and to raising a glass...together.
