Does non-alcoholic red wine taste like the real thing?

It comes very close, though the mouthfeel is lighter because the viscosity of alcohol is missing. Our selection focuses on wines with enough tannins and acidity to compensate for this.

Is non-alcoholic red wine healthy?

Absolutely! Red wine is famous for antioxidants (like resveratrol) found in the grape skins. With non-alcoholic versions, you get these benefits without the negative effects of alcohol. Plus, it usually contains up to 70% fewer calories.

Why does the label sometimes say 0.5%?

Legally, a wine can be called "alcohol-free" if it contains less than 0.5% ABV. This tiny amount is often necessary to bind the complex flavor molecules of red wine together. It’s roughly the same amount of alcohol found in a very ripe banana.
