Cross-SKU vacuum claim walked back. Method stays Undeclared.

Open dispute

A first-person Leitz note for this Zero Point Five Pinot Noir, carried by Alternative Zero, says the alcohol was removed on a spinning cone column at about 30°C, with the separated aromas added back. Wines Direct’s English copy of that note says about 35°C. Mondovino also says spinning cone, at 29°C. The live Eins-Zwei-Zero page says vacuum distillation at about 29°C for every ZERO product and does not name this cuvée. Flaschenpost says a vacuum evaporator at a maximum of 27°C. Bishop’s Cellar says vacuum distillation at about 30°C. SAQ says vacuum distillation at about -30°C. No machine is published.

The front label says alcohol free and does not print a figure. Alcfree.ch prints <0.5% vol. The winery shop (2026-11-07) lists Alcohol content 0.5% vol. SAQ titles the bottle <0.5% and lists degree of alcohol as 0.5%. Alternative Zero, Berlin Bottle, Wines Direct, Juul’s, and Mondovino print 0.5% vol. Bishop’s Cellar prints 0% and, in the product text, 0.0% vol. The Eins-Zwei-Zero FAQ, below 0.1% vol with a bottling tolerance up to 0.38% vol, does not name Zero Point Five or Pinot Noir and is not used. We print <0.5%.

Equipment and applicability to SITE are not established.

Open dispute

The Noble House distributor sheet says the wine is gently heated to a maximum of 27°C so the alcohol evaporates. It does not identify the equipment or confirm the SITE private-label relationship. The previous suggestion of vacuum distillation has been removed; no machine or pressure regime is inferred from temperature.
