Non-alcoholic red wine: A tasty alternative
Non-alcoholic red wine is not only an interesting choice for those who want or need to avoid alcohol, but also a more cost-effective alternative for wine lovers.
How alcohol-free is non-alcoholic red wine really? That depends on the individual brands and manufacturers. The answer lies in the definition. A wine can be described as 'alcohol-free' if the alcohol content is less than 0.5%. But there are also products labelled 'alcohol-free' that have a guaranteed alcohol content of up to 0.03%. This means that you can also enjoy a wine that is almost completely free of alcohol.
But what makes non-alcoholic red wine so special? It's the fact that you can enjoy the taste and experience of wine without feeling the effects of alcohol. This makes non-alcoholic red wine an attractive choice for a wide range of people, from:
- athletes
- nutrition-conscious people
- drivers
- pregnant or breastfeeding women
The production: How is non-alcoholic red wine made?
The production of non-alcoholic red wine follows the same process as for traditional red wine. The only difference is that after fermentation, the alcohol is removed. The wine is therefore dealcoholized either directly at the winery or by a specialist. This is done by vacuum distillation at around 27 degrees Celsius. This gentle process removes the alcohol without damaging the aromas of the wine.
Although the alcohol is removed, the appearance and characteristic aromas of non-alcoholic red wine are retained. This ensures that the taste is close to the original wine. This means you can experience the full enjoyment of wine without the alcohol.
Flavor variety: From Cabernet to Merlot
The variety of aromas in non-alcoholic red wines is impressive. The country of origin in particular can be decisive for the taste of the wine. There are non-alcoholic wines from a wide variety of countries such as Spain, Italy, Germany and sometimes even from South Africa. Common varieties are:
- Cabernet Sauvignon
- Merlot
- Shiraz
- Tempranillo
- Syrah
- cuvée
Just like regular red wine, each non-alcoholic red wine has its own individual color, aroma, bouquet and flavor profile. The wines vary from semi-dry to dry. In some non-alcoholic red wines, subtle tannin flavors can even be detected.
For example, the Cabernet Sauvignon grape variety is often characterized by aromas of black fruits, cedar wood and spices. In contrast, Merlot often offers softer notes of plums and cherries. Of course, non-alcoholic wine tastes different to alcoholic wine, as the lack of alcohol usually acts as a flavor carrier.
Health benefits: less sugar, fewer calories
In addition to the obvious benefit of not containing alcohol, non-alcoholic red wine also offers health benefits. It contains significantly fewer calories than regular wine, around 20 to 26 calories per 100 ml compared to 60-80 calories per glass, making it a good choice for those watching their calorie intake.
In addition, many non-alcoholic red wines are made without added sugar to maximize health benefits. Despite their lower calorie content, they contain the same health-promoting substances as regular wine. Studies have shown that the tannins in non-alcoholic red wine strengthen the heart and can reduce the risk of heart disease by 14% and the risk of stroke by 20%. In addition, the risk of cancer is reduced by eliminating alcohol.
