Is Non-Alcoholic Wine Safe During Pregnancy? Current Guidance
Quick answer: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) state that no known safe amount of alcohol exists during pregnancy. YOURS is dealcoholized wine with less than 0.5% alcohol by volume. It is not alcohol-free. Do not treat a “non-alcoholic” label as a pregnancy-safety claim.
Medical guidance comes first
The safest course during pregnancy is to avoid alcohol. If you drank alcohol before you knew you were pregnant, or if you have a question about a product with trace alcohol, contact your obstetric clinician. This page gives label facts. It does not replace medical advice.
What CDC and ACOG Say About Alcohol During Pregnancy
The CDC pregnancy guidance states that there is no known safe amount, no safe time, and no safe type of alcohol use during pregnancy. The ACOG fetal alcohol spectrum disorders guidance also states that no amount of alcohol is currently considered safe during pregnancy.
This guidance does not create an exception for wine. A product can be sold as non-alcoholic and still contain trace alcohol.
What “Dealcoholized” and “Non-Alcoholic” Mean
Dealcoholized wine starts as fermented wine and then has most of its alcohol removed. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration states that a dealcoholized wine can use a non-alcoholic claim when it contains less than 0.5% alcohol by volume. The same FDA guidance states that “alcohol-free” is different and can be used only when no alcohol is detectable.
See the FDA dealcoholized-wine labeling guidance for the source distinction.
| Label statement | What it tells you | What it does not tell you |
|---|---|---|
| Dealcoholized or alcohol-removed wine | The product began as wine and most alcohol was removed. | It does not mean zero alcohol. |
| Non-alcoholic | The product can contain trace alcohol below 0.5% by volume. | It is not a pregnancy-safety statement. |
| Alcohol-free | FDA guidance reserves this term for no detectable alcohol. | Do not assume another product meets this definition without checking its label. |
What YOURS Contains
Current YOURS product pages state that the wines contain less than 0.5% alcohol by volume. Nutrition, ingredients, and serving sizes vary by wine. Read the product page and bottle label for the exact facts for the bottle you have.
Because YOURS contains trace alcohol, it should not be presented as pregnancy-safe. If you are pregnant, follow CDC and ACOG guidance and ask your obstetric clinician about any personal concern.
If You Drank Before You Knew You Were Pregnant
Do not panic or use this page to diagnose risk. Stop alcohol use and tell your obstetric clinician what you drank, how much, and when. The clinician can give advice for your pregnancy and answer questions without guesswork.
How to Check a Bottle Before You Buy
- Read the alcohol statement on the front and back labels.
- Distinguish “non-alcoholic” from “alcohol-free.”
- Check the serving size before you compare calories, sugar, or carbohydrates.
- Read the full ingredient and allergen information.
- Ask your obstetric clinician if any fact is material to your pregnancy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is non-alcoholic wine safe during pregnancy?
CDC and ACOG state that no known safe amount of alcohol exists during pregnancy. Non-alcoholic wine can contain trace alcohol. The safest course is to avoid alcohol and speak with your obstetric clinician.
Does YOURS contain alcohol?
Yes. Current YOURS product pages state that the wines contain less than 0.5% alcohol by volume. This is a trace amount, but it is not zero.
Is dealcoholized wine the same as grape juice?
No. Dealcoholized wine is fermented wine that has had most alcohol removed. Grape juice is not fermented into wine first.
Does 0.0% always mean no detectable alcohol?
Do not infer this from the front label alone. Read the full alcohol statement and the manufacturer’s current product facts. FDA guidance distinguishes non-alcoholic from alcohol-free claims.
What should I do if I already drank non-alcoholic wine while pregnant?
Contact your obstetric clinician and share the product, alcohol statement, amount, and date. A product page cannot assess an individual pregnancy.
The Bottom Line
YOURS is dealcoholized wine with less than 0.5% alcohol by volume. It is not alcohol-free and should not be sold as pregnancy-safe. CDC and ACOG advise avoiding alcohol during pregnancy. Use the label for product facts and your clinician for medical advice.
