Alcohol-Free Wines

Dealcoholized wines for every table and every occasion

These begin as real wine: grown, harvested, and fully fermented in the traditional way. Only at the very end is the alcohol gently removed, so what reaches your glass keeps the structure, acidity, and character of the wine it started as. Alcohol-free, but wine through and through.

Not all dealcoholized wine is made equal, and we have tasted our share of the flat and the forgettable. As alcohol-free specialists, we stock only the bottles that keep their character once the alcohol is gone, wines good enough that Warsaw sommeliers have chosen them for their own restaurant tables.

There are two ways to enjoy wine without the alcohol. This is one of them: real wine with the alcohol taken out. The other begins from scratch, composed from botanicals, teas, and fruit, which you will find among our Wine alternatives.

How is it made?

Removing alcohol without stripping the flavour is the hard part, and it is where good dealcoholized wine is won or lost. Cognato, for example, uses a spinning cone to capture the wine's delicate aromas first, removes the alcohol, then blends those aromas back in. The result is a dry, sophisticated wine that holds on to its natural structure and earthiness. Full of flavour, simply without the alcohol.

0.0% versus 0.5% alcohol - what's the difference?

A majority of alcohol-free wines typically shows an alcohol percentage of less than 0.5% ABV on the label, such as Cognato and Saboritz, and with a few that might list 0.0% ABV.

Both are (legally) considered alcohol-free, but there are differences between these two alcohol percentages. Read our article on this topic and understand whether it matters to you:
