As the world becomes more self-aware of physical and mental health, there has been a growing demand, nay need, for alcohol-free wines. Here in Aotearoa, Giesen is a leader in a wide array of alcohol-free wines. In this blog, we’ll take a look at what exactly non-alcoholic wine is and why you should definitely consider trying it. We’ll also let you in on a little secret on the best alcohol-free wines from Giesen to try this year.
What is Non Alcoholic Wine?
So non-alcoholic, or alcohol-free/dealcoholised wine has had all alcoholic content removed, pretty simple, right? The process of doing this involves heating the wine or using a vacuum to extract the alcohol. The wine still has a similar taste and aroma to that of its alcoholic counterpart but none of the actual buzz…or very little left. It’s a satisfying alternative for anyone who enjoys the taste of wine, without the intoxicating effects.
Why Drink Non-Alcoholic Wine?
Why drink non-alcoholic wine, you ask? Let’s take a look:
Health Benefits
Drinking a lot of alcohol, as you may well be aware, can have major negative effects on your health. By choosing a non-alcoholic wine, you can still enjoy an amazing taste without the consequences and less calories.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers are often advised to avoid alcohol. Alcohol-free wine is a safe alternative for bubs.
Personal Preferences
Honestly, some people just like the taste of wine but don’t enjoy drinking alcohol - we know it sounds weird, but there are heaps of you out there! Enjoy the flavour of your fave wine, without the heady buzz.
So with that outta the way, let’s take a closer look at some of the best alcohol-free wines Giesen has to offer.
Giesen 0% Pinot Gris
No matter the occasion, everyone can enjoy this Giesen 0% pinot gris wine. A premium product not dissimilar to Giesen’s Estate Pinot Gris (with alcohol). An aromatically expressive, crisp wine for the white wine lover. Delicate floral notes with white flowers, lychee, and red apple on the nose pair well with light seafood dishes and salads. Oh and did we mention only 18 calories per glass! (less than your alcoholic glass of wine).
Giesen 0% Sauvignon Blanc
Giesen’s 0% Sav is another fantastic option for the white wine lover. Vibrant characteristics you know and love balanced with notes of tropical fruits and gooseberries. Perfect for enjoying at home, out with friends and family and paired nicely with grilled vegetables and spicy dishes.
Giesen 0% Rose
For the Rose lovers out there, Giesen’s 0% Rose is an excellent choice. Boasting a delicate pink hue and delicious stone fruit aromas of white peach, apple, and fresh sweet strawberries. A lively, refreshing dry texture and a perfect addition to any dinner table serving light pasta dishes and grilled chicken.
Ready To Buy Non Alcoholic Wine?
All in all, we think it’s safe to say non-alcoholic wine is the perfect option for wine lovers looking to go sober. Giesen, a leading wine company in New Zealand offers a wide range of alcohol-free wines, perfect for any occasion.
Whether you’re a white wine or rose kinda gal (or guy, we don’t discriminate), Giesen has many alcohol-free options to enjoy. Cheers.
