In this episode, we dive into the exciting world of non alcoholic wines, a rapidly growing category with impressive stats. Alcohol free, zero alcohol, alcohol removed, whatever you want to call it, these wine alternatives are claiming a regular space on wine lists at tremendous rates.  Beyond grape juice, these wines have the flavors and aromas of traditional wine. 

But what exactly is non-alcoholic wine and should you make them part of your wine portfolio? It starts like any traditional wine, made from grapes, fermented through the sugar + yeast process to create alcohol. The magic happens when the alcohol is carefully removed, leaving all the delicious wine flavors nearly intact. We explore the three main methods: vacuum distillation, reverse osmosis, and the spinning cone technique, each with its own unique approach to preserving the essence of the wine.

Non-alcoholic wines, from red wine to white wine, and rosé to sparkling wines, they are a perfect fit for many occasions, whether you're looking to cut back midweek, enjoy a brunch without the buzz, or if you're taking Ozempic and need an alternative. Tune in to learn about the process, the taste, and why non-alc wine might just be your next favorite drink!
