WHAT IS NON ALCOHOLIC WINE

A frequently asked question, which is completely understandable. Since it’s still a new productrange, there’s ‘a grey area’ of unspecified regulations in MOST countries. On this page we’ll try to give you an insight to the current situation regarding this matter.

Non Alcoholic - ALCOHOL FREE - zero alcohol - DEALCOHOLISED wine? WHAT IS WHAT?

Most important to know is that for non alcoholic, alcohol free & zero alcohol: the answer depends on the rules and regulations of local authorities. This means the answer differs from country to country. In case you want to know the amount of alcohol used, we’d advise to check the label for the % or contact the brand to be a 100% certain.

To give you an example:

‘Alcohol Free’ in the EU means: beverages up to 0.5% Alc/Vol

‘Alcohol Free’ in the UK means: beverages up to 0.05% Alc/Vol

For VINADA the wines contain small traces of alcohol which is more or less similar to the natural alcoholic strength by volume percentage you find in fresh juices or ripe fruit. It will be around 0.1 & 0.2%.

Due to Australian rules and regulations the VINADA backlabel says: NO MORE THAN 0.5% ALC/VOL. Now you know that for VINADA it will be around 0.1 - 0.2% but according to the NO MORE THAN.... statement it could have been very well 0.5% which is completely different.

VINADA in the EU: ‘Alcohol Free’

VINADA in Australia: ‘NO MORE THAN 0.5% ALC/VOL’

VINADA in the UK: ‘Low alcohol’

Important to know regarding this matter: Since it’s still a new productrange, there’s unfortunately still ‘a grey area’ of unspecified regulations in MOST countries. Be aware of this! In case the exact alcoholic strength is very important we’d advise to always contact the brand concerning.

Dealcoholised wines. These are wines made according to the traditional wine making method. From grape, fermented and aged according to the traditional method. Most base wines have an alcoholic strength by volume percentage of around 11%. If a wine is dealcoholized this means the alcohol got extracted from the wine before bottling. This doesn’t mean that all dealcoholised wines have the same alcoholic strength. This is up to the manufacturer.
