Point Zero FAQ: Everything You Need to Know About Premium 0.0% Wines
❓ What Makes Point Zero Different from Other Non-Alcoholic Wine Companies?
Point Zero curates only the top 5% of non-alcoholic wines from premium European producers. Unlike mass-market brands, we:
- Source directly from family vineyards in France, Spain, and Italy
- Require 0.0% ABV (not the industry standard 0.5%)
- Test every batch with certified sommeliers for quality assurance
- Focus on sophistication rather than just alcohol removal
Our mission: Transform non-alcoholic wine from compromise to luxury experience.
❓ What is Halal, and How Does It Apply to Wine?
Halal is an Arabic term meaning "permissible" under Islamic law. For beverages, Halal products must:
✅ Come from acceptable sources (no pork-derived ingredients)
✅ Contain no intoxicants (0.0% alcohol, verified)
✅ Follow proper preparation with Islamic oversight
Point Zero standard: All wines are 0.0% ABV, and most carry Halal certification from internationally recognized authorities. We serve Muslim families alongside health-conscious professionals, pregnant women, and anyone choosing mindful living.
❓ How Are Point Zero Wines Made?
Our wines undergo traditional European winemaking followed by advanced de-alcoholization:
Traditional Winemaking Phase:
- Premium grape harvest from renowned wine regions
- Fermentation (6-12 weeks) develops complex flavors
- Aging (6-18 months) creates tannin structure and depth
De-Alcoholization Phase:
- Gentle alcohol removal using vacuum distillation, spinning cone, or reverse osmosis
- Quality testing ensures 0.0% ABV and flavor integrity
- Final blending to achieve optimal taste profiles
Result: Authentic wines with full complexity, zero alcohol content.

❓ How is This Different from Grape Juice?
Completely different products serving different purposes:
| Aspect | Grape Juice | Point Zero Wines |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Juice concentrate | Premium wine grapes |
| Process | Pasteurization only | Fermentation → Aging → De-alcoholization |
| Complexity | Sweet, one-dimensional | Multi-layered, food-pairing worthy |
| Calories | 120-150 per serving | 15-40 per serving |
| Purpose | Simple refreshment | Sophisticated dining experience |
| Price | $3-8 per bottle | $15-35 per bottle |
Bottom line: Point Zero wines are authentic wines that happen to be 0.0% ABV. Grape juice is a sweet beverage that happens to come from grapes.

Lussory Premium Tempranillo ($25): Blackberry and vanilla notes with leather undertones and a 15-second finish that rivals $40 traditional Spanish reds.
