The winery explains:
“Steinbock Alcohol Free Sparkling" is the elegant choice for all those who drink no alcohol but do not want to sacrifice sparkling pleasure.
Through a gentle vacuum process, alcohol is extracted from a wine made from selected grapes. In a state-of-the-art technique, the air pressure is reduced in a cauldron allowing alcohol to evaporate at only 25-30 °C (77-86 °F). The low thermal stress ensures that the character, taste and fine aromas of the original wine are preserved and the remaining alcohol content is less than 0.25 % vol.
Times are changing and lifestyles are shifting. “Steinbock Alcohol Free Sparkling” offers health-conscious, stylish enjoyment. This non-alcoholic beverage is low in calories yet still complex, refreshing and lively. Its fine mousse and harmonious acidity make it an ideal aperitif and a fitting companion to good cuisine.
It is delightful pure or mixed, whether at a party with friends or on a quiet and balmy summer evening at home in the garden.
I wish I had this 22 years ago. Back then, I would put my oldest son to sleep in his glider, while we sipped Champagne. (Which he loved!) One night I didn’t have any Champagne, so I tried it with an Austrian Riesling. Which made him cry!
