The Best Non-Alcoholic Wineries from Around the World
Remember when the non-alcoholic “wine” was just glorified grape juice masquerading as the real deal?
Yeah, those dark days are over.
The world of non-alcoholic wineries has leveled up, offering complex, beautifully crafted wines that can go toe-to-toe with their boozy brethren. Whether you’re completely embracing a new lifestyle of alcohol-free drinking, cutting back, or simply on the hunt for a sophisticated NA sip, these non-alcoholic wineries are leading the charge.
Helpful Note: When we say wineries in this post, we’re referring to the brands that create the non-alcoholic wines. The grapes themselves come from vineyards (wineries) that also make alcoholic wine. The origination of the grapes for the non-alcoholic wines we’re featuring in this blog can be found underneath the brand name of each wine below.
ZERONIMO Non-Alcoholic Wines
Origin: Heribert Bayer Winery in Burgenland, Austria
ZERONIMO is flipping the script on what a non-alcoholic winery can be.
It all started in 2021 with winemaking power couple Katja and Patrick. Katja was pregnant and craving a rich, flavorful wine, but she could not find a non-alcoholic wine that hit the spot or matched her standards. So, they wondered, “Can it be done differently?” – and ZERONIMO was born.
What’s Unique About ZERONIMO?
Believing that great non-alcoholic wine could only come from great wine, they decided to put their best red, In Signo Leonis (which had just scored an impressive 98 Falstaff points), to the ultimate test – dealcoholization. Their thinking was simple: if their top red didn’t hold up without alcohol, nothing would. When they reached out to European experts in AF (alcohol-free) winemaking and dealcoholization, they were met with shrugs. No one had ever done this at a premium level before. But Katja and Patrick weren’t about to back down from the challenge.
The first test showed promise. It worked, but it wasn’t quite there yet. So, with a mix of patience, passion, and a whole lot of trial and error, they kept refining the process. After a year of testing and tweaking, they finally cracked the code and were ready to start bottling ZERONIMO’s delicious non-alcoholic wine.
They start with premium grapes from a family winery — Heribert Bayer in Burgenland, Austria — and use minimal intervention winemaking to allow the fruit to shine. The result? Wines that are bright, fresh, and full of character.
ZERONIMO’s Wine to Try: Leonis Blend Red
Their Leonis Blend Red is a perfect example. Smooth and nuanced, this red delivers deep fruit flavors with balanced tannins. It’s structured yet easygoing – ideal for everything from a cozy night in to a celebratory toast. ZERONIMO believes that wine should fit your life, not the other way around, which makes their bottles effortlessly enjoyable for any occasion.
So, if you love a good full-bodied red wine but haven’t found an alcohol-free option that satisfies your palette, this one’s for you!
BOLLE Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Wines
Origin: Grapes harvested in La Mancha, Spain | Sparkling wine crafted in the Rheinhessen region in Germany
BOLLE is taking non-alcoholic sparkling wines to the next level with a commitment to craft and quality.
BOLLE starts with top-of-the-line Chardonnay, which goes through a super gentle dealcoholization process using a cutting-edge vacuum distillation method. Unlike other techniques like spinning cone or reverse osmosis, this method keeps the wine’s natural flavors intact while being more eco-friendly.
The result? A pure, high-quality, dealcoholized wine that’s ready for the next step.
What’s Unique About BOLLE?
What really sets BOLLE apart is what happens after their distinct dealcoholization process – something no other alcohol-free wine does. After removing the alcohol, they kickstart a second fermentation by adding fresh grape juice and yeast back into the wine. This unique process naturally enhances the flavor, aroma, and mouthfeel without relying on artificial additives. If you’ve ever tasted flat or super sweet sparkling wines before, this is truly what gives BOLLE’s beverages the corner on the market.
In fact, BOLLE is the only non-alcoholic wine in the world to use this patent-pending secondary fermentation, meaning everything you taste – flavor, texture, and aroma – comes purely from the grapes and the fermentation process itself. The result is a truly authentic wine experience – yet without the alcohol. Honest to God, we can’t tell that there isn’t any alcohol in it. It’s incredibly impressive, to say the least!
BOLLE’s Wine to Try: Rosé Sparkling Wine
BOLLE’s Rosé Sparkling Wine is crisp, refreshing, and elegantly effervescent. Notes of fresh strawberries, citrus, and delicate florals make it a perfect choice for brunches, special occasions, or just because!
GOODVINES Non-Alcoholic Wines
Origin: Heidelberg, Germany
GOODVINES creates top-quality alcohol-free wines that are vegan, with no artificial flavors, sugars, or unnecessary additives.
Their wines are gently dealcoholized and carefully refined by master craftsmen using a gentle vacuum distillation process. The alcohol in the wine is gently removed at just 86°F, keeping the process delicate and preserving the wine’s character.
What’s Unique About GOODVINES?
After vacuum distillation comes aroma recovery. This step captures the wine’s natural aromas so that each bottle maintains its unique varietal style and personality. No artificial flavors or colors here! Instead, to ensure top quality, they use a small amount of rectified grape must concentrate, made purely from the same grape variety. This is a natural way to bring back some of the body and sweetness that can be lost when the alcohol is removed. This creates a delightfully balanced, authentic wine experience.
They believe in keeping things pure, natural, and vegan, and they never use artificial flavors, granulated sugar, or unnecessary additives. The result? A completely natural, alcohol-free wine that delivers real quality and enjoyment – ideal for anyone looking to sip on something special without the alcohol.
GOODVINES’s Wine to Try: Sauvignon Blanc
GOODVINES Sauvignon Blanc delivers a bright and zesty experience. Sourced from high-quality vineyards, this non-alcoholic wine offers vibrant flavors of citrus, green apple, and tropical fruit with a crisp, clean finish. This refreshing, aromatic wine pairs beautifully with seafood, salads, or just a sunny afternoon.
This one’s perfect for all you white wine lovers out there. You can still get the crisp, refreshing taste of your favorite Sauvignon Blanc – without the hangover.
