Non-alcoholic Red Wine

[chittychattykathy]

Si, Reverse Osmosis. Where the alcohol and the water are removed (cold filtered) from the wine syrup. Then the water is added back to the syrup and you have wine again. The original wine is made in a traditional manner, and some are aged in oak! My J. Lohr guy explained this process to me in depth last year at a tasting when he was pouring Ariel for our customers. The main thing you miss when tasting these wines is the feeling of the alcohol burning off, which you miss more so in the reds. The sparkling brut and the Blanc were, in all honesty, where not soo bad! (Man, the grief I'm gonna get for this comment.) Ariel, by the way, has won several awards.
