Is Alcohol Free Wine & Beer Really Alcohol Free? by Ethannathan(m): 11:34am On Feb 06, 2022
What Is Non-Alcoholic Wine?
Confusingly, there is no such thing as non-alcoholic wine. Legally, winemakers should refer to their beverage as a “wine-based-drink” if the alcohol level dips below 8% ABV.

If you’re on the lookout for wine with zero alcohol, you may want to opt for a couple of mocktails instead, because even wines that claim to be alcohol free may be 0.05% ABV.

However, if you just fancy lowering your alcohol intake, there are plenty on the market. But keep in mind that while some alcohol-free wines are as low as 0.05%, others are 1.2% ABV.

How Is Non-Alcoholic Wine Made?
The winemaking process of these alcohol-free wines is usually the same as any other red wine or white wine.

However, it's when the winemaker removes the alcohol that things get complicated. Not only do they have to remove the alcohol from the fermented grape juice, but they must do so without removing the flavors, mouthfeel, and everything else that makes a glass of wine so special.

While some non-alcoholic winemakers choose distillation as their chosen method (opting to add the aromatics back into the blend later), others use reverse osmosis.

Reverse osmosis is a more cost effective and sophisticated way of removing alcohol from wine. It uses a cross flow filtration system to separate elements by their molecular sizes.

If you’re not doing sugar right now, be careful — one of the problems with non-alcoholic wine is it can be very high in sugar. Winemakers have to add plenty of it in order to match wine’s trademark mouthfeel.

Note
Not all Non-alcoholic DRINKS has alcohol, but all Non- alcoholic WINES/BEERS has alcohol
