The producer page was blocked on 2026-10-03. The live French Chardonnay retailer page names vacuum dealcoholisation and provides ingredients, nutrition, and 75 cl, but the photographed US bottle does not identify that varietal/SKU. These facts are not transferred without exact-bottle confirmation.

Open dispute

Gueule de Joie names gentle vacuum dealcoholisation on its Chardonnay sparkling. The Hechtsheim page and this front label do not name a machine. The method stays undeclared.

Hechtsheim bottles a Chardonnay sparkling and a Pinot Noir rosé sparkling. The front label of this bottle says Sparkling and Dealcoholized Wine and does not name a grape.

Method check 2026-10-24. Presse Agence and The Drinks Business still describe vacuum evaporation for the range.

Open dispute

The Cypher white page confirms a dealcoholized wine and does not name the equipment. The Drinks Business (13 March 2024) says the Cypher wines are gently de-alcoholised by vacuum evaporation, then aroma compounds are restored. A 10 January 2024 note in the domaine’s voice calls the step vacuum evaporation, a distillation, at under 40°C, after which the liquid is reworked for the aromatic profile. Sanzalc’s Blanc sheet, also in the producer’s voice, says the wine is cold-distilled at 30° in a distillation column under vacuum, that the alcohol is fully extracted, that aromas carried off with the alcohol are put back through a light aromatic formulation, and that a food preservative is used instead of pasteurization. That same Sanzalc paragraph says the base is an organic vegan rosé, which does not match this Roussanne and Colombard bottle. Gueule de Joie says low-temperature vacuum evaporation and no added aromas. The temperature is not collapsed to one figure.

The sheet covers the still Origine wine (the French file is the tranquille sheet).

Open dispute

The English Origine Sauvignon Blanc technical sheet names low-temperature vacuum distillation, which sets the method. The producer expertise page says the method is adapted to the wine, the grape, and the vintage, and that approaches are sometimes combined. The back label says the wine was elaborated and packed in Germany (D-RLP-021494) and names no machine. The sheet is undated beyond its April 2026 upload, so a different vintage could in principle use another process.

Open dispute

The producer page, the US label, and the importer shop name a de-alcoholised wine and no machine. The brand article does not choose among the three methods it defines. The importer blog is the only page that names reverse osmosis, and that paragraph also describes evaporation. The named technique stays undeclared.

Producer page says alcohol free / de-alcoholised and does not print a residual. IWSC prints 0.5%. One shop prints 0.0%; Vivino lists 0.01%. Kings Wine and Spirits lists less than 0.5% for the exact 750 ml SKU. The editor-supplied bottle label now confirms less than 0.5%, settling eligibility but not the exact residual. No source shows the residual above 0.5%.
