Non-Alcoholic Wine Myths: Separating Fact from Fiction
Despite their growing popularity, non-alcoholic wines remain surrounded by misconceptions. Some dismiss them as “just grape juice”, while others doubt they can ever be premium or food-worthy. At Dis&Dis, our role as curators is not only to bring you the finest bottles, but also to educate and clarify.
Here, we separate myth from truth — so you can enjoy non-alcoholic wine with confidence.
Myth 1: “Non-Alcoholic Wine Is Just Grape Juice.”
Truth: Non-alcoholic wine starts its life exactly like traditional wine. Grapes are harvested, fermented, and matured to develop flavour and structure. Only then is alcohol carefully removed through processes such as vacuum distillation, spinning cone technology, or reverse osmosis.
Grape juice never undergoes fermentation; non-alcoholic wine always does.
Myth 2: “Removing Alcohol Ruins the Flavour.”
Truth: Modern dealcoholization techniques are designed to preserve aroma, texture, and complexity. Spinning cone technology, for example, captures delicate flavours before alcohol is removed and then reintegrates them into the wine.
The result? Wines that remain authentic to their origin — without alcohol.
Myth 3: “Non-Alcoholic Wine Is Only for People Who Can’t Drink.”
Truth: Non-alcoholic wine is for everyone. Wellness enthusiasts, athletes, expectant mothers, drivers, or simply those who want to cut down on alcohol without giving up taste.
These wines are about inclusion: ensuring everyone has a glass in hand during moments of celebration.
Myth 4: “There Are No Premium Non-Alcoholic Wines.”
Truth: The premium alcohol-free category is thriving. Houses such as So Jennie, Prince Oscar, and La Cuvée produce wines that are every bit as refined in craftsmanship and presentation as their alcoholic counterparts.
Premium alcohol-free wines are made with the same care, terroir, and artistry — proving that elegance does not depend on alcohol.
Myth 5: “Non-Alcoholic Wines Don’t Pair with Food.”
Truth: With their range of dry, structured, and sparkling styles, non-alcoholic wines are superb companions to food. A crisp Nooh Blanc Sparkling elevates seafood, while Prince Oscar 2022 Red stands beautifully beside grilled meats.
Pairing is part of the experience — and 0.0% wines deliver.
