SUMMARYĭealcoholized wine is regular wine that has had most or all of its alcohol content removed using industrial equipment and processing techniques. Regular or full-strength wine usually contains around 12% alcohol ( 4, 6).
These techniques can safely reduce the alcohol content to a small amount - in some cases, even less than 0.3% ( 4).įor comparison, this is less alcohol than you’d find in fermented drinks like kombucha, which typically contains 1–2% alcohol. Lastly, the alcohol-free water is combined with the remaining elements from the original wine. Next, the alcohol is removed from the water using distillation, which entails heating the mixture to a high enough temperature so that the alcohol evaporates. The pressure against the membrane forces the alcohol and water to separate from the other elements of the wine. With reverse osmosis, full-strength alcohol is pushed at a high pressure against a semipermeable membrane. You can use dealcoholized wine in all the same ways as regular wine - though it won’t make you feel intoxicated.Ĭommonly, the alcohol is removed with industrial processes such as reverse osmosis ( 2, 5). Aside from being alcohol-free, it may taste and smell different than regular wine ( 1, 2, 3, 4). In short, dealcoholizing wine means removing all or some of its ethanol, or what is usually just referred to as the alcohol in regular wine.
