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%.

The plan names ATW as the receiving plant.

Open dispute

Selbach’s process plan names vacuum distillation at about 31°C and 50 millibar, with aroma recovery in a second column. The column is not taken above 38°C. Cross-flow filtration at 0.25 µm follows, and no artificial flavors are added. Skurnik says the finished wine goes to a facility that removes the alcohol with membrane technology.

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.

Vinello’s long-form copy mentions both vacuum distillation and reverse osmosis as dealcoholization techniques for this SKU. Named method kept as vacuum distillation (also on the historical producer PDF, now 404) with secondary confidence; RO noted here rather than printed as the method.
