How are Appalina de-alcoholised wine produced? Our goal was not to bring just another de-alcoholised wine with the same negative taste profiles than most of the products on the market.
 
We also wanted our Appalina Range to be called «Wine» so we did not want to add any aromas or flavours after the de-alcoholisation process. Our solution ? Remove the alcohol under vacuum! Under vacuum, the boiling point of liquids is much lower. In the case of wine, only 30°C need to be applied in order to remove the alcohol.
 
We add CO2 after de-alcoholisation to make sparkling wines it even enhances the flavours.
