    Non-Alcoholic Wines are increasing in popularity for a variety of uses. They are excellent for toasts at official functions, weddings, etc.

    There are two types of non-alcoholic wines. One type is the alcohol-removed wine, de-alcoholised, where the alcohol has been removed by distillation after manufacture. The other type is Sparkling Grape Juice, which are fruit juice drinks carbonated as “soft drinks”.

    Many people with an alcohol problem are not wise to use the alcohol-removed wines. The bottles are clearly labelled. It is wise to read all labels carefully as some could have a small amount of alcohol.
