today, Neighbourhood Wine co-founder Mick O’ Connell said, according to the EU, that non-alcoholic versions do not “meet the definition at all” of wine.

“Up until very recently, non-alcoholic wine hasn’t been very good which you could argue impacts culturally on wine,” he said. “The problem with boiling it off is you also tend to boil off a lot of the flavour compounds which is why making non-alcoholic wine or beer is very difficult.”Mr O’Connell said increased demand for non-alcoholic wine has pushed up its quality in recent years.“We’re quite lucky at the moment with non-alcoholic wine with a few brands coming on stream that are made with very-very good base products.
