How we picked and ranked
We compared five widely available non-alcoholic wines: a white, a red, and three sparkling. Every price was checked on October 21, 2026. Where the brand sells direct in the US (Surely, Grüvi), the price is from the brand's site. Where it doesn't (Giesen, French Bloom, Fre), we used Better Rhodes, a US non-alcoholic retailer, and the table says so. Sales are marked as sales. ABV, calories, sugar and the "how it's made" column come from each brand's own product page or FAQ. Where a brand doesn't list a figure, we say "not listed" instead of guessing.
We ranked on:
1. A clear ABV statement. 0.0% or a precise figure beats a bare "non-alcoholic." 2. Price per bottle. 3. Calories and sugar as listed. More published figures rank higher. 4. Covering the styles people actually buy: a white, a red and a sparkling.
We don't rank on taste, and the style notes are in each brand's own words.

The picks
Giesen 0% Sauvignon Blanc (750 mL)
Giesen makes full-strength New Zealand sauvignon blanc first, then uses spinning cone technology to take out the aroma, then the alcohol, and puts the aroma back. Giesen describes the result as "a dry, refreshing style." Giesen's US site says it contains no more than 0.5% ABV and has 19 calories per 5 oz. At $13.59 on sale for 750 mL, it's the cheapest still wine here. Giesen doesn't sell direct in the US, so the price is from Better Rhodes, a non-alcoholic retailer.
A sugar note: Giesen's US page doesn't give a sugar figure. Its New Zealand FAQ lists 1.8 g per 100 mL, while its New Zealand product page lists 20 g/L residual sugar (2 g per 100 mL). The calorie figures differ across Giesen's own sites too (19 per 5 oz in the US, 12 or 16 per 125 mL in New Zealand). We used the US numbers, so check the back label of the bottle you buy.

French Bloom is proof that alcohol-removed doesn't have to mean "a trace left." Le Blanc is made from organic French chardonnay that's been dealcoholized, blended with spring water, grape juice and lemon juice, and labeled 0.0%. French Bloom lists 10 kcal and 2.4 g sugar per 100 mL, and describes it as crisp and balanced, with "freshness, minerality and a refined, persistent finish." It's the priciest bottle here. French Bloom's own store lists prices in euros, so the US price is from Better Rhodes, where it was on sale.
See it at Better RhodesSurely Non-Alcoholic Red Blend (750 mL)
Non-alcoholic reds are the hardest style to get right, and most brands only list a vague "low sugar." Surely gives you the numbers: 25 calories and 0 g sugar per 5 oz, five servings a bottle. Surely describes "smooth tannins with red fruit of raspberry and plum" and a light vanilla-and-oak finish, from 30% cabernet sauvignon, 30% petite sirah and 40% merlot. It isn't just dealcoholized wine, though: the ingredients add prebiotic fiber, glycerin, L-proline and L-theanine. The product page lists alcohol as "0.5%," and Surely's FAQ says all its wines are under 0.5%.
Before you order: Surely's cart needs a minimum of four bottles, and it quotes 2 to 3 business days to process plus 5 to 8 to deliver.
See it at SurelyFre Alcohol-Removed Sparkling Brut (750 mL)
Fre is the alcohol-removed line you're most likely to see in a supermarket, and the Sparkling Brut is the cheapest bottle on this list at $11.99 from Better Rhodes. Fre describes green apple and ripe pear with a crisp, dry finish. The alcohol comes out by spinning cone, and the label lists under 0.5% ABV. Fre's page gives 80 calories and 21 g carbohydrates per 8 oz, but no sugar figure. That's 80 calories per 8 oz versus Surely's 25 per 5 oz, so if calories matter, compare per ounce. Fre's own site has a store locator but no shop.
See it at Better RhodesGrüvi Non-Alcoholic Dry Secco (8 x 270 mL)
Grüvi's Dry Secco is made with what Grüvi calls "a unique process that does not involve fermentation," so there's no alcohol to remove, and it's labeled 0.0%. The trade-off is sugar. Grüvi's FAQ says the Dry Secco has 11 g, all naturally occurring, because the grape sugar was never fermented into alcohol. Grüvi lists 50 calories per 10 oz serving and describes it as "semi-dry, with floral and tart endnotes." It comes in 270 mL bottles, which Grüvi says keeps the bubbles from going flat. The 8-pack is $4.50 a bottle.
Note that Grüvi's newer "Sparkling Wine 2.0" sampler (in our gift guide) is a different product, labeled under 0.5% ABV.

Almost every non-alcoholic wine is alcohol-removed (also called dealcoholized). It's made as real wine, then the alcohol is taken out, usually with a spinning cone or vacuum distillation. Giesen, Fre, Surely and French Bloom all work this way. The process usually leaves a trace, so most labels say "under 0.5%" or "no more than 0.5%." That's the US legal line for "non-alcoholic." Fre's FAQ puts it plainly: alcohol-removed means reducing alcohol "to very low levels (typically under 0.5% ABV)."
But alcohol-removed doesn't always mean a trace. French Bloom Le Blanc is dealcoholized and still labeled 0.0%.
The other route is never-alcoholic: a wine-style drink that never ferments. Grüvi's Dry Secco is made this way and labeled 0.0%. The catch is sugar. Fermentation is what turns grape sugar into alcohol, so a drink that skips it keeps more of that sugar (11 g, per Grüvi).
If you need zero:
- Buy a bottle that prints 0.0%. Here, that's French Bloom Le Blanc and Grüvi Dry Secco.
- Treat "non-alcoholic," "alcohol-removed" and "dealcoholized" as up to 0.5% unless the label gives a lower number.
- Read the back label, not just the retailer page. One retailer we checked tags some under-0.5% wines "pregnancy friendly," which is a marketing tag, not a lab result or medical advice.

What we changed in this update
The first version of this page ranked Giesen, Leitz Eins Zwei Zero, Noughty and Fre. This rebuild keeps Giesen at #1 and Fre as the budget pick. Noughty's sparkling chardonnay is off the list because it was sold out at both US retailers we checked. Leitz is off the list because the retailer listings we found disagreed on whether its Eins Zwei Zero wines are 0.0% or under 0.5%, and we couldn't find a US brand page to settle it. French Bloom, Surely and Grüvi are new. We also replaced Amazon search links with direct product links.
Serving tips
- Serve it cold. French Bloom suggests 2 to 4 °C (about 36 to 39 °F) in a flute.
- Pair lighter. Without alcohol, these wines are usually lighter-bodied. Surely suggests grilled meats, pasta and pizza with the red. Giesen suggests a Thai green chicken curry with the sauvignon blanc.
- Finish open bottles quickly. Alcohol is a preservative, so recork, refrigerate and finish within a couple of days. Grüvi's small bottles solve this for bubbly.

For something different on the dinner table, Botanical Brewing's Pomegranate Fusion is a sparkling kanna drink with pomegranate and raspberry. It's not a wine substitute for everyone, so read who should skip kanna below. It isn't recommended if you're in recovery or take antidepressants.
Who should skip non-alcoholic beer, wine and spirits
- Pregnant, trying to get pregnant or breastfeeding? Talk to your doctor before you drink any of these. Many are labeled under 0.5% ABV, which means a trace of alcohol, not zero. A "pregnancy friendly" tag on a retailer's page isn't medical advice.
- In recovery from alcohol use? Talk to your doctor, counselor or sponsor first. Products under 0.5% ABV contain trace alcohol, and even 0.0% drinks are built to look, smell and taste like the drink you're stepping away from, which can be a trigger.
- If you've been told to avoid alcohol completely (for a medication, a liver condition or anything else), stick to products labeled 0.0% and check with your doctor or pharmacist.
- "Non-alcoholic" on a US label allows up to 0.5% ABV. If a product doesn't state its ABV, assume it may contain a trace.
- Many of these brands only sell to adults 21+.
Who should skip kanna
- Kanna drinks are for adults 21+. Skip them if you're under 21.
- Skip kanna if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Never combine kanna with antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs) or other serotonergic medications.
- Talk to your doctor first if you take sedatives, sleep aids or any other daily medication.
- Rules on botanical products vary by state and country. Check your local rules before you buy.
- One can is one serving. Don't drink it with alcohol, and don't drive after drinking it.
These are general cautions, not medical advice. If you're unsure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
Questions people ask
What is the best non-alcoholic wine?
Giesen 0% Sauvignon Blanc for a white ($13.59 on sale at Better Rhodes, Oct 21, 2026; 19 calories per 5 oz). French Bloom Le Blanc for a 0.0% sparkling. Surely Red Blend for a red.
Does non-alcoholic wine have any alcohol?
Usually a trace. Most alcohol-removed wines are labeled under 0.5% ABV (Giesen, Fre, Surely). French Bloom Le Blanc and Grüvi Dry Secco are labeled 0.0%.
What's the difference between alcohol-removed and alcohol-free wine?
Alcohol-removed (dealcoholized) wine is made as real wine and then has the alcohol taken out, usually leaving up to 0.5%. Alcohol-free or 0.0% means no measurable alcohol. That can come from removing the alcohol more fully, as French Bloom does, or from never fermenting at all, as Grüvi does.
Which non-alcoholic wine has the least sugar?
Of the wines here, Surely Red Blend lists 0 g sugar per 5 oz. French Bloom lists 2.4 g per 100 mL. Grüvi's never-fermented Dry Secco lists 11 g. Fre and Giesen's US page don't list a sugar figure.
Is non-alcoholic wine safe during pregnancy?
Talk to your doctor. Many non-alcoholic wines are under 0.5% ABV rather than zero, and a retailer's 'pregnancy friendly' tag isn't medical advice. If you need zero, choose a bottle labeled 0.0%.
