Non-alcoholic and alcohol-free wines

Alcohol-free wine is made in exactly the same way as alcoholic wine but once fully fermented, the alcohol is removed resulting in a drink with up to 0.5% alcohol by volume (ABV). Removing the alcohol doesn't remove the flavour, it actually brings the hidden aroma and flavour of the wine to the fore. Removing alcohol does, however, alter the texture of wine. It is the alcohol which gives wine body so you'll notice that alcohol-free is thinner in texture.
