Eastern Viticulture & Enology Forum: Producing and Positioning Low and No Alcohol Wines

Feb 25, 2025

Chris Gerling and Aude Watrelot

Demand for low and no alcohol wine is on the rise, but practices to achieve this often come with challenges of their own. This seminar covers the technical foundation of de-alcaholization, their effects on wine components, as well as strategies to restore aromatics and flavor to the finished product. Chris and Aude discuss business and marketing approaches to introduce these products, and address the importance of adapting both winemaking protocols and sensory perceptions to deliver balanced, appealing alternatives for modern markets
