Many such drinks are similarly priced to their alcoholic counterparts.
The Vintner's Federation of Ireland says it's willing to meet with national representatives to discuss the VAT rate of non-alcoholic beverages.
Fine Gael Senator, Garret Ahearn had suggested lowering the rate on non-alcoholic alternatives in pubs and bars.
Many such drinks are the same price or only slightly cheaper than their alcoholic counterparts.
VFI President and owner of Giltraps in Kinnity, John Clendennen, says it has been left down to the pubs and bars themselves to decide reasonable prices for their margins:
