Healthy food and beverages have become a growing trend in recent years. Non alcoholic wine, also known as alcohol-free wine, is a wine from which the alcohol has been removed. Many wine lovers have found a new version of their favorite beverage, which is healthier than regular wine. The process of making non-alcoholic wine is similar to regular wine, with one additional step to extract the alcohol. Keep in mind that non-alcoholic wine is not the same as grape juice.

Non alcoholic wine was first invented in 1908.

And although wine has been around for thousands of approximately 8000 years, non-alcoholic wine is a relatively young beverage.

The non alcoholic wines invention is credited to the Jung family, who owned a vineyard in the Rhine region in Germany.

The first marketed soft drinks (non-carbonated) appeared in the seventieth century.

They were made from water and lemon juice sweetened with honey. In 1676, the Compagnie de Limonadiers of Paris was granted a monopoly for the sale of lemonade soft drinks.

The single greatest difference between non-alcoholic wine and grape juice is in their production.

Simply put: non-alcoholic wine is made exactly like its alcoholic counterpart, but with one extra step: the alcohol is removed.

Grape juice, on the other hand, is merely the unfermented juice of grapes.

The true nonalcoholic / dealcoholized wine is produced from wine that has been fermented with yeasts and has undergone a vinification process, then goes through an additional process of having the alcohol removed.

All other fruit-based products marketed as nonalcoholic wine are simply juice.
