2-minute overview

What is wine dealcoholization?

Wine dealcoholization is the process of removing or reducing ethanol from wine while preserving its aroma, structure, and sensory balance. Modern wine dealcoholization technology enables wineries to produce low- and non-alcoholic wines without compromising quality or identity.

Wine dealcoholization process:
step-by-step

The wine dealcoholization process consists of controlled separation, aroma preservation, and precise alcohol adjustment. Each stage is designed to maintain wine integrity while enabling flexible alcohol control.

01
Ethanol separation under vacuum

The process begins with low-temperature vacuum conditions, allowing ethanol to evaporate at significantly reduced pressure witho

02
Aroma and structure preservation

Key volatile aroma compounds are retained and rebalanced to maintain the wine’s original sensory profile, avoiding the stripping effect common in membrane-based systems.

03
Precision alcohol control

Alcohol levels are adjusted with high precision, enabling partial or complete dealcoholization down to 0.0% ABV while maintaining structural balance.

Detailed wine dealcoholization process

The wine dealcoholization process is based on controlled low-temperature separation under vacuum conditions. By reducing pressure, ethanol can be removed at significantly lower temperatures compared to traditional distillation methods, minimizing thermal stress on the wine.

Unlike membrane-based technologies such as reverse osmosis, this approach does not rely on aggressive filtration. This allows the wine to retain its volatile aroma compounds and structural balance.

The process enables both partial and complete alcohol removal, giving winemakers precise control over final alcohol levels while maintaining consistency across batches

This approach ensures that wine dealcoholization remains both technically efficient and organoleptically consistent across different wine styles.

Addressing the limits of current dealcoholization technologies

Most current technologies rely on ppressure, membranes, and complex mechanical systems — often compromising aroma, structure, and process efficiency.

01

Low process impact


Low-temperature operation avoids thermal and mechanical stress typical of many existing technologies. Preserves the wine’s original structure and balance.

02

Aroma integrity

Unlike membrane-based systems, the process does not strip key volatile compounds, allowing the wine to retain its varietal character and aromatic profile.

03

High ethanol recovery (up to 95.6%)

Up to 95.6% ethanol extraction enables efficient alcohol removal while creating a valuable, reusable by-product.

04

Flexible operation modes

Available in semi-automatic or fully automated configurations, supporting both batch and continuous processing..

Comparison with traditional wine dealcoholization methods

Traditional wine dealcoholization methods, including reverse osmosis and spinning cone technology, often involve higher temperatures or complex multi-step processing. These approaches can lead to aroma loss, structural imbalance, and increased operational complexity.

In contrast, low-temperature vacuum-based dealcoholization minimizes thermal impact and avoids stripping essential compounds, resulting in a more stable and authentic wine profile.


  • Reverse osmosis → strips aroma
  • Spinning cone → thermal exposure
  • Your method → low-temp + preservation

Compared to reverse osmosis, which relies on pressure-driven membrane filtration, this process avoids stripping delicate aroma compounds.

Compared to spinning cone technology, it operates under significantly lower thermal conditions, reducing the risk of altering wine structure and flavor balance.
