Why did they start making non alcoholic wine?

Leitz recognized the growing demand for non-alcoholic alternatives, especially among health-conscious consumers. Their non-alcoholic 'Eins Zwei Zero' range was created to provide an enjoyable wine experience without the alcohol. This decision was driven by the desire to cater to consumers who want the complexity of wine without the effects of alcohol. The Eins Zwei Zero range includes a variety of non-alcoholic wines, including Riesling, Pinot Noir, and sparkling options. These wines have become a popular choice for those looking to enjoy the taste and elegance of wine without the alcohol content.

How do they produce their non alcoholic wine?

Leitz uses a modern dealcoholization process that removes the alcohol while preserving the essential aromas and flavors of the wine. This process involves gently heating the wine to evaporate the alcohol, allowing the non-alcoholic version to retain the structure and taste of the original wine. The result is a non-alcoholic wine that mirrors the quality of their traditional offerings, providing an authentic wine experience for consumers who choose not to drink alcohol.
