Is Non-Alcoholic Wine Good for You?

In recent years, more and more people have been seeking out non-alcoholic wine as part of a healthier lifestyle. Whether you’re cutting back on alcohol, skipping it altogether, or just curious about what’s in your glass, the question often comes up: is non-alcoholic wine good for you?

The answer depends on how you define “good for you.” Let’s break it down.

Lower Alcohol, Fewer Alcohol-Related Effects

The most obvious upside of non-alcoholic wine is right in the name, it contains little to no alcohol, usually under 0.5% ABV. It's well established that alcohol can come with unwanted effects, such as impaired judgment, disrupted sleep, and the dreaded hangover. 

In one study on 0.5% low-alcohol beer, participants showed very low or no blood alcohol values even after consuming up to 3 liters within 2 hours. That helps explain why beverages in this range aren’t expected to be intoxicating in typical use. Our NA sparkling rosé, Safe Sex, has an ABV less than 0.05%, so when enjoyed in normal serving sizes, intoxication is very unlikely for most people. For anyone focused on balance and moderation, this makes non-alcoholic wine a smart alternative. If you avoid alcohol entirely, always check labels, since “non-alcoholic” can still mean trace amounts.

Can Retain Some of the "Good Stuff"

Some non-alcoholic wines, like Safe Sex, begin as traditional wine made from fermented grapes, then the alcohol is removed. Because it starts as wine, it can retain some naturally occurring grape compounds like polyphenols (which have antioxidant activity). Exact levels can vary depending on the wine and the alcohol-removal process.

What you can count on is real wine character and complexity you don’t usually get from typical non-alc drinks.
