De-alcoholized Wines

[mrdutton]

Cable Guy..................... you did not get flammed. You got some diverse and honest answers to your question.

I, also, feel somewhat offended. Reason being: that you would tell us you were insulted.

I really don't think you were. People here speak their minds. Not much wrong with doing that.

Again, wine, by definition, contains alcohol. Wine that is advertised as being de-alcoholized still contains a very small percentage of alcohol. If it is advertised as being totally alcohol free, then it is not wine it is juice.

To quote directly from Ariel's web-site:

Do Ariel wines contain any alcohol?

It is physically impossible to remove 100% of the alcohol from a fermented beverage. The legal definition of a non-alcoholic beverage requires a product to contain less than 1/2 of 1% of alcohol. Ariel non-alcoholic wines contain less alcohol than most fresh squeezed orange juice!

My words follow: But they do contain some alcohol. Please read what they say. It is physically impossible to remove all of the alcohol from a fermented beverage.

There seems to me to be a big difference between a flame and and the truth. Sorry, I don't think you were dis-respected.
