15 Non-Alcoholic Wines That Are Better Than The Boozy Kind

Non-alcoholic beverages are leading an industry-shifting movement. With all the solid alcohol-free and low-alcohol options out there, hangovers can truly be a thing of the past. Whether you prefer to abstain from alcohol for pregnancy, health, religious, or other preference-based reasons, there's no shortage of alcohol-free wines to keep you in high spirits (pun intended).

According to Decanter, there are three primary ways to turn a fermented wine into a non-alcoholic wine; spinning cone columns, vacuum distillation, and reverse osmosis. In vacuum distillation, the wine is distilled at temperatures that are lower than traditional distillation temperatures and then blended with key aromas. 

The spinning cone columns method uses the centrifugal force of spinning upside-down cones. In the reverse osmosis process, the wine undergoes a very fine filtration process that separates it into different elements that are later blended back together again. 

Whichever process is used for the distillation, the resulting wines often provide delicious alcohol-free alternatives. Some of these varieties are so good that you might just enjoy them more than the boozy kind. 

Amanda Thomson founded Thomson & Scott and launched Noughty, which is an alcohol-free, halal, vegan, low sugar sparkling beverage. Amanda Thompson also champions more transparency in wine labeling practices. Since wine producers are often exempt from listing detailed information on the product labels, consumers are often left in the dark about the exact ingredients present in a specific bottle of wine. Traditional wine is fermented grape juice, but other additives may also be used, depending on the winemaker's preferences.

Thomson & Scott's Noughty wines are made up of just a few organic ingredients: The brand's Alcohol-Free Sparkling Chardonnay contains less sugar than other brands of alcohol-free wine. As for the taste, Sip Yours reports that this wine has delicate bubbles and does indeed taste like Chardonnay. It also has a light aroma of apples. 

And, if you need yet another reason to get excited about this wine, Thomson & Scott is a B Corporation and practices carbon offsetting for every purchase. So, when you purchase Noughty wines, you know that you're making a great choice for your palate as well as for the environment. 

Lussory is another brand of wine that undergoes a dealcoholization process. Lussory wines undergo vacuum distillation to separate the alcohol from the wine product. Thus, the aromas, flavors, and body of the wine are still intact, and some of the wine's primary health benefits are retained. The antioxidants in Lussory wines regulate cholesterol and help prevent cancer. The grapes for these wines are derived from vineyards in the La Mancha region, which is located in Spain.  

These wines are halal and do not contain any chemicals. Lussory's white and sparkling wines are made from Airén grapes. Lussory's Organic Sparkling Brut is the perfect alcohol-free wine for a celebratory toast. After all, part of the challenge of skipping alcohol is missing the ritual and customs that surround its consumption. This crisp and refreshing sparkling wine option is a must for those who want to celebrate without drinking alcohol.  

The Surely Sparkling Rosé is so good that you can guzzle it all day, with the added benefit of not experiencing any headaches or hangovers. Surely also offers non-alcoholic wines in other varieties such as sparkling white, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Noir.

In order to create the Sparkling Rosé, Surely first collaborates with Californian winemakers to make wine. Then, the alcohol is extracted using a spinning cone column and vacuum distillation method. This process results in a surprisingly wine-like beverage that has all the bubbles, tastes, and textures that you might expect from your favorite rosé. 

Bartrendr describes the wine as having aromas of guava juice and strawberries and as tasting quite fresh, with vibrant notes of peach. If you decide to give this wine a try, don't forget to check out Surely's website: The brand has a Dry Month Challenge which sends customers deals, tips, and membership to a private group. 

Shiraz wines are typically bold, full-bodied, and high in alcohol. Hill Sreet Beverage Company's Vin(zero) retains all the delicious juicy notes of Shiraz but removes the alcohol. Hill Street Beverage Company has its own alcohol removal process. This proprietary process ensures that the drink is left with tons of flavor.

Vin(Zero) has red fruit with red currants, along with hints of raspberries and some firm tannins. According to a customer review on Boisson, the wine isn't too sweet and pairs well with a nice meal, and the flavors in this wine more than compensate for the lack of alcohol. 

Hill Street also makes alcohol-free wines in other styles, including Merlot, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Sauvignon, which ensures that there is something for everyone. Additionally, at a price point that starts at $12.99, these wines are relatively reasonably priced and tend to offer both value and flavor. 

What do you get when you take organic Tempranillo and Syrah grapes and take away the alcohol? The answer can be found in Studio Null's No. 3 Prickly Red. As the founders explained to Cool Hunting, Studio Null prides itself on crafting a wine that originates from a delicious alcoholic wine, something many other non-alcoholic brands might not be able to claim. Like many other brands, the wine is dealcoholized through distillation. 

The prickly red has a subtle amount of carbonation that alters the mouthfeel so that it resembles a traditional red wine. Studio Null differs from other non-alcholic wine brands in that it sources new producers each year so that customers can try wines from different winemakers and different grapes: This is a great way of keeping the assortment of wines interesting. Studio Null wines are available for purchase on the brand's website. The price for these wines ranges from $27 to $32.

This non-alcoholic wine checks all the boxes: It is organic, bright in terms of acidity, and has a lengthy finish. As a 0% ABV wine, Pierre Chavin's Le Petit Étoilé Chardonnay has notes of white flowers, apples, and pears on the nose. According to Sans Drinks, this wine tastes like juicy, ripe peaches, acacia flower, vanilla, and zingy citrus.

While the Le Petit Étoilé Chardonnay certainly isn't on the cheap end of non-alcoholic wine offerings, its flavor and texture make it well worth the price point. If you have been on the hunt for a luxurious French wine with none of the hangover effects, then you should definitely try the Pierre Chavin Le Petit Étoilé Chardonnay. 

Pierre Chavin also has a large range of alcohol-free wines including a sparkling Chardonnay, rosé, and Merlot. This company aims to take noble French grape varieties and make them accessible to people with various drinking preferences. French wine production is highly sophisticated and developed, and Pierre Chavin wines prove that the French may be close to mastering non-alcoholic wine as well!

Codorníu Zero is a sparkling wine that is made from 100% Airén, which is a white grape that is native to Spain. Airén is Spain's number one grown white grape and is often vinified into a fresh and bright wine, and it is exactly what makes the Cordoníu Zero Sparkling Wine so delicious. It's cheerful and fresh with some fruit notes like apple and lemon zest on the nose as well as a delicate aroma of white flowers.

Cava lovers will adore this wine. Cordoníu is one of Spain's largest Cava producers, and this brand has taken its expertise to the non-alcoholic side of drinks. The company utilizes vacuum distillation to extract the alcohol from the wines. Soberito remarks that this wine has some larger bubbles, which makes for a less smooth sipping experience. Overall, however, this wine delivers some fruit notes and makes for a lovely Cava-like wine for those who prefer to skip the alcohol.
