Non-Alcoholic Wines

Non-alcoholic wine has come a long way from its flat, overly sweet reputation, thanks to gentler de-alcoholisation methods like vacuum distillation and spinning cone technology that strip out alcohol while keeping more of the original aroma and structure. This collection spans the full range of styles, from crisp Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris through to rose, Chardonnay, and alcohol-free sparkling, all made from real grapes rather than artificial substitutes. The result will not taste identical to its full-strength counterpart, since alcohol carries flavour and body of its own, but the gap has narrowed considerably in recent years. It suits anyone cutting back, driving, or after something lighter. For full-strength alternatives, White Wine and Sparkling Wine cover the styles these are modelled on.
