Alcohol-free white wine: 4 tips for choosing the right one
Want to enjoy a friendly moment without drinking alcohol? We understand! Among all the alcohol-free options available to us, there's non-alcoholic white wine, especially if you're looking to accompany a meal.
Here are 4 key tips for choosing the right alcohol-free white wine, from the Jardins team.
1. Grape selection
A good non-alcoholic white wine starts with good grapes. It's the golden rule. Winemakers seek out expressive grape varieties like Sauvignon Blanc, Muscat, or Chardonnay—varieties that retain their character even after dealcoholization.
These grape varieties naturally offer fruity, floral and sometimes mineral notes, allowing the wine to retain a beautiful aromatic richness, even without alcohol.
At Jardins , we believe that taste begins in the vine. And that a carefully cultivated grape already carries all the intensity of the moment.
2. Precise vinification, followed by gentle dealcoholization
A quality alcohol-free white wine follows the same steps as a traditional wine: pressing, fermentation, aging... until the key moment of dealcoholization.
This is where the magic happens. It's important to favor the most environmentally friendly methods—such as reverse osmosis or vacuum distillation—that eliminate alcohol while preserving as much of the aroma as possible. A good alcohol-free wine doesn't betray its origins; it reimagines them.
In our opinion, this is the stage that is lacking in alcohol-free white wines on the market. In fact, most of them have an aroma that is too distant.
3. Balance
Sugar occupies a place important in the taste of non - alcoholic white wine. A wine that is too sweet is heavy and unbalanced . Prefer of the wines with low sugar content ( less than 5 g/L in general ) : you will obtain a drier wine , more pleasant to drink , which will not be too much heavy while maintaining a very nice freshness .
4. Texture and length in the mouth
And above all, it must leave a nice aromatic persistence after the sip.
Beyond dealcoholized wine
Today, alcohol-free white wine appeals to the curious, flavor lovers, and modern epicureans. But existing alcohol-free white wines often disappoint, whether due to their lack of aromatic complexity, their excessive sweetness, or their lack of length on the palate.
At Jardins, our approach goes beyond dealcoholization: we offer alcohol-free alternatives to wine made from blends of infusions, juices, and extracts of fruits, plants, and flowers from French gardens.
