Point Zero FAQ: For Muslim Wine Enthusiasts
Halal-conscious wine appreciation with complete confidence and clarity
❓ Are Point Zero Wines Truly Halal?
Yes, with complete transparency about our standards:
✅ 0.0% ABV verified - No alcohol content whatsoever, not 0.5%
✅ Third-party Halal certification on most selections from recognized Islamic authorities
✅ No haram ingredients - No pork-derived fining agents or processing aids
✅ Proper oversight during production and import processes
Our commitment: We understand the importance of Halal compliance for Muslim families. Every wine meets the strictest Islamic dietary standards.
❓ What About the Fermentation Process? Is That Halal?
This is a common concern with two different answers:
De-Alcoholized Wines (Most of our collection):
- Grapes are fermented traditionally but with special yeast (very low alcohol is produced)
- Alcohol is completely removed through advanced technology
- Final product contains 0.0% alcohol (verified by Islamic authorities)
- Scholarly consensus: Most Islamic authorities approve 0.0% de-alcoholized wines when properly certified
Never-Fermented Wines (Virgin wines like So Jennie Paris):
- No fermentation ever occurs - grape must is aged without alcohol production
- Always 100% Halal - no Islamic concerns whatsoever
- Perfect for strict interpretations or personal preference
Bottom line: We offer both options so every Muslim family can choose based on their comfort level and scholarly guidance they follow.
❓ Which Islamic Authorities Certify Your Wines?
Our wines carry certification from internationally recognized Islamic bodies:
Certification process includes:
- Ingredient verification - All components reviewed
- Production oversight - Facility inspections and process approval
- Regular auditing - Ongoing compliance monitoring
- 0.0% ABV testing - Independent laboratory verification

❓ What Do Islamic Scholars Say About Non-Alcoholic Wine?
Scholarly opinions vary, but there's growing acceptance:
Permissive View (Majority):
- If truly 0.0% ABV and properly certified, it's permissible
- Focus on final product - no intoxication possible
- Analogous to vinegar - alcohol transformed into permissible substance
- Supported by: Many contemporary Islamic councils and authorities
Cautious View (Minority):
- Prefer never-fermented options to avoid any fermentation concerns
- Name sensitivity - some prefer avoiding "wine" terminology
- Cultural considerations - community perception matters
Our approach: We provide both de-alcoholized and never-fermented options, plus clear labeling, so every Muslim can choose according to their scholarly guidance and personal comfort level.
❓ Is the "Wine" Name Problematic for Muslims?
We understand this concern and here's our perspective:
Islamic principle: The prohibition is against khamr (intoxicants), not grape-based beverages per se.
Point Zero position:
- 0.0% ABV means no intoxication possible - not khamr by definition
- Similar to grape juice in Islamic permissibility
- "Wine" describes production method not alcohol content
- Analogous to "alcohol-free beer" which many Islamic authorities approve
Alternative terminology we use:
- "0.0% fermented grape beverage"
- "Premium grape wine alternative"
- "Halal-certified grape beverage"
Family consideration: Use terminology that makes your family comfortable while enjoying the sophisticated experience.
❓ Can Muslim Children Drink Point Zero Wines?
From an Islamic perspective: Yes, with parental guidance.
Islamic considerations:
- 0.0% ABV means no intoxication risk
- Halal-certified means compliant with Islamic dietary laws
- No different from grape juice in terms of permissibility
Practical considerations:
- Sophisticated flavors designed for adult palates
- Family education opportunity about making Halal choices
- Social inclusion - children can participate in family celebrations
