Whether you're embarking on a mindful drinking journey, taking a break from alcohol for a month, or simply abstaining, our low-alcohol and non-alcoholic wine alternatives allow you to enjoy the taste of wine and participate in the fun while maintaining moderation.
Wine brings people together for celebrations or just a casual evening. It is a great way to relax and unwind, but sometimes, you don't want the effects of the alcohol. That's where no/low alcohol wine comes in. This is a new trend that is catching up in the wine world. Here are some common questions about no/low alcohol wine and the answers.
No/low-alcohol wine is exactly what it sounds like. It is a wine that has little to no alcohol content. It is made similarly to regular wine but is taken through a process that removes the alcohol content. This process varies from brand to brand, but the end result is always the same - a wine that is lower in alcohol or completely free of it.
No/low alcohol wine is lower in calories than regular wine. Since alcohol is removed from the wine, it has fewer calories than its alcoholic counterpart. For those conscious about their calorie intake or watching their weight, no/low alcohol wine can be an excellent choice.
Well, it depends on the brand, but most no/low alcohol wines have a limit of up to two glasses daily. However, since its alcohol content is low, you can consume a bit more without getting tipsy. That said, drinking responsibly and knowing your limits is always important.
No/low alcohol wine is made using similar techniques to regular wine. The alcohol content is removed through several processes, including vacuum distillation, reverse osmosis, and spinning cone machines. In vacuum distillation, the wine is heated to remove the alcohol content while preserving the wine's flavour profile. Reverse osmosis and spinning cone machines are also used to remove alcohol content; however, these methods can affect the wine's taste.
No/low alcohol wine can be better for you than regular wine. It has fewer calories and less alcohol content and has been shown to have several health benefits. For example, it is rich in antioxidants and can help reduce the risk of heart disease. It is also said to help lower blood pressure and promote good cholesterol levels.
Not only is no/low alcohol wine better for your health, but it also doesn't compromise on taste. Many renowned winemakers are now producing no/low alcohol wines that maintain the complex flavours of their full-strength counterparts. This allows you to enjoy a guilt-free glass of wine, knowing it benefits your health and still savours like a premium pour.
