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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Open dispute

The previous suggestion of vacuum distillation has been removed; no machine or pressure regime is inferred from temperature.

Orca International says the alcohol is removed by thin-film vacuum distillation, with an essence strip taken off and added back. A February 11, 2023 Oregonian interview with Hal Landvoigt said the Clean wines were sent to BevZero in Healdsburg and the alcohol removed by spinning cones. This record does not pick a machine.
