FAQs About Giesen 0%

Giesen 0% is our range of alcohol-removed wines.

Each wine begins its life exactly like our full-strength wines. We grow the fruit, ferment it fully, and craft it to express its varietal character. Only then do we gently remove the alcohol.

The result is wine with not more than 0.5% alcohol by volume. That’s about the same level that naturally occurs in fruit juice.

We follow four key steps.

Step One – Make great wine
We produce full-strength wine first, capturing classic varietal character and regional expression.

Step Two – Separate gently
Using spinning cone technology, we carefully separate the wine into three elements: aroma, alcohol and body.

Step Three – Rebuild flavour
We recombine the delicate aroma with the body of the wine, without the alcohol.

Step Four – Balance the blend
A small amount of premium grape juice is added to enhance mouthfeel and balance.

The result is wine that stays true to style, without the alcohol.

All Giesen 0% wines contain not more than 0.5% alcohol by volume.

This is the internationally recognised threshold for non-alcoholic beverages in many markets.

We aim for a balanced, wine-like style rather than excessive sweetness.

Sugar levels vary slightly by varietal, but many of our wines contain significantly less sugar than fruit juice and compare favourably to other non-alcoholic wine alternatives.

Alcohol-removed wine begins as full-strength wine.

After fermentation, the alcohol is gently removed using specialised technology.

This is different from grape juice, which has never undergone fermentation.

Making wine first is essential. It allows us to capture aroma, complexity and varietal character before removing the alcohol.

No.

Grape juice is sweet and unfermented.

Giesen 0% wines are fully fermented wines that have had the alcohol removed. Fermentation unlocks flavour complexity and reduces natural sugar.

The result is a wine that tastes like wine, not juice.

Spinning cone technology is a gentle form of distillation often used in perfume production to handle delicate aromas.

We use this method because it allows us to carefully separate and preserve aromatic compounds before removing the alcohol.

By recombining aroma and body, we retain varietal expression and balance.

Having this technology onsite gives our winemaking team greater control over quality, freshness and precision.

Yes.

Methods can include reverse osmosis, osmotic distillation, thin-film evaporation and thermal gradient processing.

Each technique removes alcohol differently and can impact aroma, flavour and structure in various ways.

We choose spinning cone technology because it allows us to protect delicate aromatics while maintaining a wine-like profile.

Alcohol-removed wine requires the full winemaking process plus an additional specialised dealcoholisation step.

This added technology and production time increases cost. Our goal is to create a high-quality wine experience, not a shortcut.

With modern technology, most wine styles can be dealcoholised.

Our winemakers select base wines carefully, focusing on varietals and styles that retain character and balance once alcohol is removed.

We do not replace alcohol with sugar.

Alcohol contributes body and sweetness to wine. When it is removed, balance becomes essential.

We add a small amount of premium grape juice to enhance mouthfeel and maintain harmony, while keeping overall sweetness levels considered and style-appropriate.

Because people want choice.

Many wine drinkers are moderating, taking breaks, prioritising wellbeing, or simply wanting an option for certain occasions.

Giesen 0% offers the ritual and flavour of wine, without the alcohol.

Old vines. New-age wines.

A wide range of people.

Many 0% consumers also enjoy full-strength wine. They simply want flexibility depending on the moment.

It is about balance, not replacement.

Any time you want the experience of wine without the alcohol.

Midweek dinners. Hosting friends. Early mornings ahead. Training seasons. Celebrations where moderation matters.

The moment is yours.

Creating alcohol-removed wine is a technical challenge because alcohol carries flavour and texture.

Our approach begins with premium base wine and careful aromatic preservation.

The result is balanced, varietally expressive wine that stays true to its style.
