Whether these people are right or wrong, and whether the reasons are legitimate or not, there are many reasons that a person may not want to drink wine. To each their own, everybody’s tastes are different, and adults can choose which – if any – alcoholic beverages they like to drink. For those that don’t drink wine because they don’t drink alcohol, there is always the option of non alcoholic wine. We will look at the reasons why these people, and others, may drink non alcoholic wine.

What is non alcoholic wine?

You could jokingly say that grape juice is non alcoholic wine, but in truth there’s a little more to it than that. Non alcoholic wine is a distinct (though small) category of beverage unto itself, with major players including ARIEL Vineyards and even Spain’s very own Miguel Torres. In plain language, non alcoholic wine is wine that has had its alcohol removed. It is sometimes known as de-alcoholised wine. Without getting into too much technical detail, non alcoholic wine starts its life as a grape, which is harvested and fermented as normal, after which time it has the alcohol removed.

Why should you drink non alcoholic wine?

There are a number of reasons why somebody might drink non alcoholic wine, and we’ll look at them here.

• If you don’t drink alcohol, non alcoholic wine can offer you some insight into what the world of wine is all about for those that are curious. Wine is a fascinating and complex subject that spans geography, history, art, science and more. Just because a person doesn’t drink alcohol, it doesn’t mean that they should miss out on the beautiful world of wine. There is a lot to enjoy about wine without ever drinking it, but to drink non alcoholic wine will at least give you an idea of what the finished product is all about.

• If you’re the designated driver, why not pick up a non alcoholic wine? Picture this: You’re at a dinner party and your friends and family are drinking delicious Rioja. You’re the designated driver, you are providing a vital service and doing everyone else a favour, so why should you have to drink sugar-laden soda or whatever happens to be on offer? Non alcoholic wine in this case is a good compromise!

• You’ve got work in the morning, or for whatever reason you can’t afford to have a hangover or any of the associated effects of alcohol consumption. Non alcoholic wine is not bad when it comes to food and wine pairing, so it’s almost as good as the real thing!

Are rosé wine calories higher than other wine calories?

Not necessarily, no. In fact, wine itself does not have inherently more calories than other types of alcohol. It will vary widely and depend on a number of factors. Your rosé wine calories will come from the alcohol and residual sugar in the wine. You might be surprised to learn that it is the alcohol, and not the sugar, that has more calories – though both add up. Without getting too deep into the nutritional values, let’s say that as a general rule wines with high alcohol and high sugar will have the highest calories.

Let’s be clear, there are calories in alcohol, and wine calories can add up: It is estimated that a standard glass of wine of around 13% alcohol can contain as much 160 calories, the equivalent of a slice of cake in some cases. This is something to keep in mind, certainly, though it doesn’t mean that you cannot enjoy a glass or two of rosé wine (or any other wine for that matter) in moderation.

So how do rosé wine calories stack up?

For the calorie conscious rosé wine lover, consider dry rosé wines that are relatively low in alcohol. There is no hard and fast rule that says your rosé will be any higher (or lower) in alcohol (or sugar) than any other wine, so it will be worthwhile to take a little time to read the fine print on your wine labels. If you are seriously concerned about calories in your food and drink, it is best to consult a qualified professional such as a nutritionist.

Rosé wines to try

One region to consider is the Côte de Provence in France. This region is famous for its rosé wines, and you can find some high quality examples that are relatively low in alcohol, too.

• Magali Rosé clocks in at 12% alcohol. It’s an equal blend of 25% each Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault, and is light and easy-to-drink.

• Miraval Rosé is one of the region’s best-known wines, in no small part due to an eye-catching label and bottle shape. At 13% alcohol, it is not a low alcohol wine by any means, so if you’re sceptical about rosé wine calories then perhaps just stick to a glass or two!

• Confidentielle Rosé comes from the same producer as Magali Rosé, Saint André de Figuière. Here, you’ve got a major step-up in quality – as well as an increase in alcohol content, with this one weighing in at a solid 12.5%. This has a complex nose with subtle black pepper notes, and a long and persistent finish.
