Bellerive Bio-Organic Souvignier Gris Sparkling Alcohol Free

The best alcohol-free sparkling wines closely replicate Prosecco, Cava or sparkling Chardonnay. You get fine bubbles, fruit-forward aromatics, typically citrus, green apple, pear and floral notes, with a crisp and refreshing finish. The key difference is a slightly lighter body and the absence of the warmth that ethanol provides. The products we stock have been personally tasted and selected for quality bubble retention and flavour.

Yes. Most alcohol-free sparkling wines are recarbonated after de-alcoholisation and the bubbles are fine and persistent in the glass. The bottle retains pressure until opened. Once poured, bubble retention is comparable to Prosecco-style wines. Serve well chilled in a flute or tulip glass to get the best bubble display and aroma.

De-alcoholisation is the process of removing ethanol from fully fermented wine. The most common method used by premium producers is vacuum distillation, where the wine is gently heated under low pressure, which lowers the boiling point of ethanol so it evaporates without damaging the aromas or polyphenols. Some producers also use spinning cone technology or reverse osmosis, each with slightly different effects on flavour. The result is a wine that has gone through full fermentation but has had the alcohol extracted afterwards.

Absolutely. This is one of its best uses. The visual experience, including the bubbles, the pop of the cork or crown cap and the flute, is identical to alcoholic sparkling wine. For weddings, baby showers, driving toasts or an inclusive table setting, a quality alcohol-free sparkling wine is indistinguishable in the glass. We stock options that taste genuinely celebratory rather than like sparkling water with a wine label.

Alcohol-free sparkling wine retains grape-derived polyphenols and antioxidants without the health risks of alcohol. It is typically 15 to 30 kcal per 100ml compared to around 70 to 80 kcal for standard Prosecco. It is not a health product, but it is a genuinely enjoyable lower-calorie option for celebrations and occasions where you want to raise a glass.

Serve well chilled at 6 to 8 degrees Celsius, the same as Prosecco or Champagne. Keep in the fridge for at least 3 hours before serving, or 30 minutes in an ice bucket. Serving it colder than still white wine enhances the bubble experience and keeps the wine tasting crisp and refreshing.

Once opened, reseal with a sparkling wine stopper and refrigerate. Consume within 1 to 2 days for the best bubble experience, as carbonation dissipates quickly. Small format bottles are ideal if you only want a glass or two. Without alcohol as a preservative, the wine also oxidises faster than alcoholic sparkling wine.

This wine is certified 0.0% ABV, meaning it contains no measurable alcohol and is suitable for drivers. If you are pregnant, we recommend consulting your midwife or doctor before consuming any dealcoholised product, as guidance varies individually.

It depends on the product. Some of our wines do contain sulphur dioxide (sulphites) as a preservative, declared as an allergen on the label and well within EU and UK legal limits. However, a number of the products we stock are sulphite-free. Always check the individual product label or description to confirm.

Alcohol-free sparkling wine begins as fully fermented wine, developing all the aromatic complexity and structural character of conventional sparkling wine. The alcohol is then removed and the wine recarbonated. Sparkling grape juice is simply carbonated fruit juice that has never fermented. One is wine; the other is a juice drink. The difference in flavour complexity is significant.
