Preparation of alcohol free wine
A system and method of manufacturing an alcohol free wine beverage utilizes as a starting material diluted mature table wine which is thereafter exposed to reduced heat at low feed rates for a short period of time to strip the alcohol under high vacuum conditions while preventing scorching and degradation of the extracted wine base. This wine base is then blended with other ingredients including concentrated grape juice flavorant, carbon dioxide, citrus acid preservatives and further water to cut to a lower level the alcohol content prior to bottling. |

Grape vines are exquisitely sensitive to the environment. There are thousands of different varieties, and they're fussy about where they are grown to the point of absurdity. This is why terroir is such an important concept.
Take one variety – Pinot Noir. There aren't that many places where it can be grown successfully, because the climate and soils need to be just spot on for it to make decent wine. Originally from Burgundy, it has taken wine producers in the new world decades to find sites where they can get it to perform properly.
As well as each variety having its own enviromental requirements, even grapes of the same variety will perform differently depending on the physical characteristics of the soil and the microclimate. |
What is claimed is:
1. A system of producing an alcohol free base wine for making an alcohol free drinkable wine beverage comprising:
a source of an original finished feed wine and a demineralized water preblend;
a feed wine, water preblend inlet line coupled with the preblend source;
a feed wine, water preblend feeding means for feeding the feed wine, water preblend from the preblend source through the inlet line;
a centrifugal film evaporator coupled with the inlet line for elevating the temperature of the feed wine, water preblend while being centrifuged to a temperature at which a predetermined part thereof is divided into a liquid phase and another part into a vapor phase, the liquid phase being the alcohol free base wine, the centrifugal film evaporator having means for removing the liquid phase by centrifugation from the evaporator; a first source of the original finished feed wine and a second source of the demineralized water being provided; and means for coupling the first and second sources to the preblend source.

All wine contains alcohol. That is a basic definition of wine and wine laws require that the amount of alcohol present in the wine is declared*. There are certain differences about how this is done around the world. Trade agreements are working to having standardised wine labels so a label that is legal in one country can be exported to another, but there is still some way to go. |
A frequent comment on wine discussion boards is about wines that do not state the alcohol level at all. In the USA a wine whose label bears the words Table Wine and is between 7-14% abv does not need to show the alcohol level. This is a boon for small wineries producing non-vintage wines because they can print a large batch of labels and re-use them year after year, thus saving printing costs and also avoiding the bureaucratic and costly exercise of annually submitting labels for pre-approval to the relevant authorities. |
