What Is Dealcoholized Wine?

Dealcoholized Wines and Sparkling Wines (0.0%)

In recent years, the non-alcoholic beverage market has seen unprecedented growth, and the 0.0% wine and sparkling wine sector is no exception. More and more people are choosing to reduce their alcohol consumption to improve their overall well-being—without giving up the pleasure of a good glass of wine.

0.0% wines and sparkling wines are products from which alcohol has been removed through specific processes. That’s why we refer to them as dealcoholized (or de-alcoholized) wines and sparkling wines. Dealcoholization makes it possible to preserve aromas, bouquet, and structure, offering a rewarding tasting experience even in a non-alcoholic version.

How Is Wine Dealcoholized?

The Three Main Dealcoholization Techniques

There are three primary methods used to produce dealcoholized wine:

Vacuum evaporation (spinning cone column)
Membrane technique (reverse osmosis)
Distillation

Among these, the membrane technique (reverse osmosis) is the best solution for preserving the wine’s organoleptic properties.

This is the method we use to produce our dealcoholized wine-based beverages, as it minimizes impact on the product and best preserves its original characteristics.

How Does the Membrane Technique Work?

This technology relies on a system of hydrophobic membranes that selectively filter small gaseous molecules. Thanks to precisely controlled pore sizes, only gases with a low molecular weight can pass through the barrier—allowing alcohol to be removed without altering the structure and aroma of the wine.

What Are the Advantages of the Membrane Technique?

The main advantages of this technique include:

Minimal impact on the wine compared to evaporative methods
A gentle and elegant process carried out at room temperature
High logistical and economic efficiency
Reduced energy consumption
No volume loss apart from the removed ethanol

Thanks to this method, we can offer a dealcoholized wine that retains its quality and aromatic profile.

Why Choose Dealcoholized Wine?

Dealcoholized wine is becoming an increasingly popular choice for those who want to enjoy the pleasure of a good glass without the effects of alcohol. Thanks to modern dealcoholization technologies, it’s possible to preserve the wine’s aroma, structure, and authentic taste offering a refined alternative suitable for any occasion.
