Once upon a time, 5 reasons to try non-alcoholic wine

All right: have ever heard of ALCOHOL-FREE WINE?

No. Really. Alcohol-free wine do exist.  

Maybe you just learned something, and this is precisely the essential purpose of our article. So let’s continue.  

Non-alcoholic wines are real wines with the alcohol content removed according to a special procedure at the vineyards where they originate.

Because they are made from the same ingredients and in the same wine-making process as traditional wines, they retain an authentic flavor, to such an extent that some blind tasting have awarded of a gold medal one de-alcoholized wine (Ariel Blanc) against wines with alcohol content! (so shocking)

And if you are still not tempted, let me give you 5 reasons why you should think twice:

1-  Are you a pregnant woman? Do your religious convictions forbid or advice you against alcohol? Are trying to quit with alcohol? Or maybe you drive a car?

      Alcohol-free wine can interest you. Although it is physically impossible to remove 100% of the alcohol from fermented beverages, alcohol-free or dealcoholized wines contain less than 0.5 % of alcohol. Interesting isn’t it?

2-  On a diet?

      Did you know that alcohol-free wine is also non-fat because low in sugar? Indeed, this beverage contains roughly one third of the calories that traditional wine with alcohol contains (approximately 19-37 calories for a four ounce serving, as opposed to 100 calories per serving in wines with alcohol, according to a USDA report)

3-  You want to take care of yourself, both outside and inside.

      Like a “normal” wine, de-alcoholized wine is good for health. That is what reveal several researchers from Harvard Medical School’s department of pathology. They found that resveratrol, a polyphenol found in red wine, can extend the life span of yeast cells by 70 percent on average. Resveratrol is found in grapes, certain nuts and berries and even some types of wheat. Recent studies have shown that its compound may help reduce cholesterol levels and improve cardiovascular health, prevent some type of cancer, and reduce the growth of skin melanomas. What else?

4-  Are you curious, loving to try new experiences?  

      Of course you are! Well this will be a new experience for your palate, as dealcoholized wines do not taste exactly the same as wine containing alcohol. In fact, alcohol lends body and texture. Without alcohol, the result is generally lighter and less robust. However, any wine lover would tell you all wines taste different, there is one to suit every person. Whether you are are a wine lover or not (yet), the best advice I can tell you is to try this crazy beverage, to make your OWN mind.

And this is the most important. You will find a lot of articles on the Internet, dealing about alcohol-free wines. People have diverse opinions about it.

Some people have a problem with the fact it is not entirely alcohol free, some sites will present you both non-alcoholic and kasher wines or both non-alcoholic and sustainable wines. Concerning purists, some wonder if wine without alcohol can still be called a Wine…

From then on, only counts your point of view.  

What we think, a ONCE UPON A WINE, is that anyhow, this wine remains a good occasion continue to enjoy, share…and to impress your friends for sure! (5)
