non-alcoholic wine

Re: Taste and pleasure on alcohol-free wines. This is what Sutter Home says about their product...

Sutter Home's alcohol-free wine is produced using the revolutionary spinning cone column, which facilitates the removal and safeguarding of fragile wine aromas and flavors at low temperatures, while subsequently removing alcohol at slightly higher temperatures. The wine essences are then reintroduced to the dealcoholized base wine and blended with 25%-35% unfermented grape juice, depending on the wine. The finished product is a fresh, delicious beverage with the characteristic aromas and flavors of premium wine, yet with under 0.3% alcohol and less than half the calories of regular wine.

Tasting Notes
Merlot
This soft, fruity red possesses the cherrylike fruitiness and smooth texture characteristic of the Merlot variety. It should appeal especially to non-alcoholic wine drinkers seeking the health benefits of red wine along with the sophistication of a world-class varietal.

Much like Sutter Home's regular White Zinfandel, their alcohol-free White Zinfandel boasts a pale salmon color, a fresh, fruity aroma suggesting strawberries and cranberries, and soft, fruity, berrylike flavors leading to a crisp, lingering aftertaste. It's excellent both as an aperitif and as an accompaniment to a wide variety of foods. Nutritional Information - Serving Size 8 oz. Percentage Alcohol under 0.3%

Sutter Home's alcohol-free Chardonnay is light, fresh, and fruity. It offers inviting tropical fruit aromas and rich, crisp, citrus and apple flavors, with a pleasantly tart aftertaste. Enjoy this fruity, wine-like beverage on its own or with fish, chicken, veal, pork, white sauce pastas and mild cheeses.

I am 59 years young, drink two glasses of red each night, Excellent health, grow Zinfandel on 10 acres in Northern California, and understand the wants of some of the folks out there who, for one reason or another, would prefer to partake in a non-alcoholic wine, so they too can understand some of the pleasures that we, the "real wine" drinkers, appreciate.
