Frequently Asked Questions
What is alcohol-removed wine?
Alcohol-removed wine is made from real wine, with the alcohol gently removed after fermentation. The result is a wine that preserves the structure, balance, and character of the original, simply without the alcohol.
Is PARAGRAPH real wine?
Yes. PARAGRAPH is made from fine wine, fermented and finished as wine, with the alcohol removed afterwards. The full ingredient list is on every bottle.
Does alcohol-removed wine still taste like wine?
Yes, but like all wines, it expresses itself differently. In the same way a sparkling wine differs from a still white, or an orange wine from a classic white, alcohol-removed wine offers another expression of wine rather than an imitation of one style.
Approached with an open mind and tasted as a new type of wine, it reveals structure, balance, aromatics, and texture that belong to wine culture. Learning how to taste it allows wine lovers to enjoy the same pleasure and ritual of a real glass of wine, simply expressed in a different way.
How is the alcohol removed?
PARAGRAPH uses low temperature vacuum distillation, currently the gentlest and most aroma-preserving method available. An integrated aroma recovery system captures and reintegrates key aromatic compounds to retain the wine's original character.
Is PARAGRAPH non-alcoholic?
PARAGRAPH is a non-alcoholic wine containing less than 0.5% alcohol by volume. Each wine is made from real wine, our Tempranillo from Spain and our Chardonnay from France, then gently dealcoholised at low temperature. It is not a grape-juice blend and contains no added flavours.
Does PARAGRAPH contain added sugar?
No. PARAGRAPH wines are low in sugar, with approximately 1g per 100ml, supporting a dry, savoury, wine-like profile.
Are flavours added?
No. PARAGRAPH wines contain no added flavours. Balance, texture, and aromatic expression are preserved naturally through sourcing, blending, and careful dealcoholisation.
Why does alcohol-removed wine need high-quality base wine?
Because in true alcohol-removed wine, all of the aromas, flavours and character come from the base wine. For the finished wine to be expressive, complex and engaging, the base wine must have great character and intensity before the alcohol is removed.
How should PARAGRAPH be served?
Serve PARAGRAPH as you would any wine, in a wine glass, with time to open. The Tempranillo is best at 14 to 16°C, lightly cool rather than at room temperature. The Chardonnay is best at 6 to 8°C, properly chilled. Either can be enjoyed on its own or alongside food.
Can PARAGRAPH be paired with food?
Yes. PARAGRAPH wines are crafted with structure, freshness, and balance, making them naturally suited to food. The Tempranillo suits roasted and grilled meats, aged cheeses and slow-cooked dishes. The Chardonnay suits seafood and shellfish, poultry and lighter plates, fresh cheeses, or a glass on its own.
Who is PARAGRAPH made for?
PARAGRAPH is made for anyone who wants to enjoy wine without compromising on quality. For wine lovers who choose not to drink alcohol at certain moments, for people who cannot consume alcohol for a period of time but still want to enjoy wine with a meal, and for non-drinkers who are curious to discover the taste and culture of wine.
Is PARAGRAPH suitable for pregnancy or medical conditions?
PARAGRAPH is a non-alcoholic wine containing less than 0.5% alcohol by volume. People avoiding alcohol for pregnancy, medical, religious, recovery, or other reasons should consult their healthcare professional or personal standard before consuming any product containing trace alcohol.
Is PARAGRAPH vegan?
No. PARAGRAPH wines are not vegan, as traditional winemaking practices may involve animal-derived fining agents.
Where are PARAGRAPH wines made?
Each PARAGRAPH wine is sourced where that grape is at its best. Our Tempranillo comes from Spain, from vineyards above 700 metres, and our Chardonnay from Southwest France, under Atlantic and Pyrenean influences. Both are crafted from premium base wines by respected growers and wineries, then carefully dealcoholised to preserve their character.
How should PARAGRAPH be stored?
Store PARAGRAPH as you would a regular red wine — in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Once opened, keep refrigerated.
How long does PARAGRAPH last once opened?
Treat either wine the same as its full-alcohol equivalent. Both are best within 2–3 days of opening, recapped tightly and refrigerated.
Decanting and aerating for 1 hour after opening will help unlock the complex aromas — much the same as a premium full-alcohol red wine.
