What are NA wines?
NA wines, sometimes referred to as “wine proxies”, are wines that are made with the traditional winemaking methods. The difference is that the alcohol is carefully removed. This could be via reverse osmosis or vacuum distillation. It depends on the winemaker. But this process retains all the flavors and aromas of wine, while reducing the alcohol content to less than 0.5%.
Why People Choose Non-Alcoholic Wine
The reasons people are ordering non-alcoholic wines online vary wildly. Some people are focused on mindful drinking, while others simply want to cut back on alcohol while still staying social. Others have health concerns, or have stepped up as designated drivers. Expectant moms have also embraced wine proxies. They no longer have to feel left out at celebrations or dinner parties. There are also people with religious restrictions, those taking medications that don’t mix with alcohol, or those who are simply curious. Non-alcoholic wines allow everyone to enjoy all of wine’s benefits without compromise.
Health and Wellness Benefits
One of the biggest benefits of buying non-alcoholic wines online is the benefit to your health. Without the alcohol, you’re looking at better sleep, no hangovers, and way fewer calories. Your morning-after self will thank you. So will your doctor.
Many of the non-alcoholic wines that we offer online also keep the beneficial antioxidant benefits found in traditional wine. The big two antioxidants, resveratrol and flavonoids, are associated with heart health and anti-inflammatory properties.
Flavors That Actually Work
Because the wine-making process is the same between traditional wines and NA wines, a non-alcoholic substitute for rosé wine will taste just like the real deal. Our selection of non-alcoholic wines is available online and has been carefully selected to ensure that the flavors you know and love will be present in every bottle. Because they’re made with traditional winemaking methods and the same grapes and ingredients, the flavors are all there.
Sparkling varieties have really taken off. There’s something about bubbles that just works without alcohol. Non-alcoholic champagnes are perfect for celebrations where you want the festive vibe but not the fuzzy head.
When to Serve NA Wines
These wine proxies shine in situations where regular wine might be tricky. You can enjoy a glass of something sophisticated during a lunch meeting without worrying about your afternoon. Daytime events like garden parties or baby showers are great settings too.
Food pairing? Absolutely! These wines hold their own with everything from cheese boards to full dinner spreads. Since nobody’s getting tipsy, conversations tend to be more engaging, and people can enjoy the memories of an enjoyable event.
