Non-alcoholic sparkling wine 2024: The top 6 best test winners

July 31, 2024

Alcohol-free sparkling wine offers an excellent alternative for those who want to avoid alcohol but still enjoy the pleasure of sparkling wine. Although alcohol-free sparkling wine has only been around since 1988, it has evolved significantly thanks to various production processes, such as vacuum distillation. This process involves gently removing the alcohol from the wine at around 30 degrees Celsius while largely preserving its flavor. Carbon dioxide is then artificially added to the wine under pressure to achieve the desired sparkling effect.

What is non-alcoholic sparkling wine?

Alcohol-free sparkling wine is a sparkling wine from which the alcohol has been removed in a particularly gentle way after production. Despite the lack of alcohol, it remains a truly enjoyable product – with fine bubbles, a balanced structure, and a complex interplay of aromas. Technically speaking, alcohol-free sparkling wine is based on the same processes as classic sparkling wine: grape harvest, fermentation, aging, and fermentation. Only then does dealcoholization follow.

The alcohol content is usually less than 0.5%, which means that non-alcoholic sparkling wine is legally considered "alcohol-free." At SOBERCIETY, you'll find a curated selection of non-alcoholic sparkling wines – from fresh blancs to fruity rosés.

How is non-alcoholic sparkling wine made?

The basis of non-alcoholic sparkling wine is usually a dealcoholized wine, which is then carbonated—or the result of a second fermentation, the alcohol content of which is later removed. First, the traditional vinification process takes place: The grapes are harvested, fermented, and, if necessary, made into sparkling wine. The alcohol is then extracted using one of the following processes:

Vacuum distillation:
In this process, the wine is gently heated under reduced pressure. This lowers the boiling point of the alcohol, allowing it to escape at a lower temperature. Aromas and sensory properties are largely preserved—ideal for fine sparkling wines with an elegant flavor profile.

Reverse osmosis:
In this process, the wine is passed through special membranes. Small molecules such as alcohol and water pass through, leaving larger aromatic compounds behind. After the alcohol is removed, the water is added back to preserve the original sparkling wine character as much as possible.

How do you recognize a good non-alcoholic sparkling wine?

A good non-alcoholic sparkling wine has several important characteristics:

  • Authentic taste

    A high-quality non-alcoholic sparkling wine offers more than just sparkling grape juice: It impresses with clarity, depth, and elegant structure. Delicate fruit aromas and balanced freshness create a taste experience that's astonishingly close to real sparkling wine—but without the alcohol.

  • Fine perlage

    The consistent, persistent perlage is crucial for the mouthfeel of a good sparkling wine. It brings vibrancy to the glass, ensures freshness on the palate, and underlines the festive character of non-alcoholic sparkling wines.

  • Balanced acidity-sweetness ratio

    A harmonious interplay of lively acidity and delicate sweetness lends non-alcoholic sparkling wine elegance and drinking pleasure. This makes every sip a balanced pleasure—not too sweet, not too sour, but pleasantly round.

  • Aroma-preserving dealcoholization

    To preserve the typical bouquet and yeast notes, the alcohol is removed very gently – for example, through vacuum distillation or modern spinning cone technology. This way, the character of a true sparkling wine remains perceptible even without the alcohol.
