Understanding Non-Alcoholic Wine
Non-alcoholic wine is made just like regular wine, but the alcohol is removed after fermentation. This keeps the flavors and smells of wine while taking out the alcohol. Most non-alcoholic wines have less than 0.5% alcohol, making them great for those avoiding alcohol. The alcohol is removed using methods like vacuum distillation or reverse osmosis, which help keep the wine's original taste.

Horizontal Position

Stable Temperature
Avoid temperature changes
- Keep bottles in a cool, dark place
- Store bottles on their side to keep the cork moist

Serving and Enjoying Non-Alcoholic Wines
To get the most out of your non-alcoholic wines:
- Use proper wine glasses to enhance smells and tastes
- Serve white and rosé wines cold at 45°F to 50°F (7°C to 10°C)
- Let red wines warm up to about 55°F to 65°F (13°C to 18°C) before drinking
- Try pouring reds into a decanter to open up their flavors
- Let wines breathe for 15-30 minutes before serving
