TDS Intelligence

The business and science behind alcohol-free beverages.

Ask a practical question, see what was counted, then inspect the bottles and sources behind the answer.

The useful answer is not just a number. It is the denominator, the evidence gaps, and a live view another person can check.

The public figure is the IWSC alcohol level, 0.3%, on the exact Almost Zero Chardonnay NV entry. The front label prints Alcohol Free and no percent. The Van Loveren range page’s 0.3% line names Sauvignon Blanc, Moscato Rosé and Merlot, not this Chardonnay.

Global overview

Catalog coverage, with the gaps left visible

635 publicly inspectable records. 21 work-in-progress records are excluded. Catalog composition is coverage—not market size, share, sales, demand, or launches.

Recorded catalog growth

Catalog coverage and firsthand tasted-and-scored coverage are separate series. A catalog addition is a TDS coverage event—not a market launch.

Launch milestone 2026-09-18 First recorded bottle; not a full inventory snapshot.

No earlier comparable inventory snapshots are on record. The chart starts with today’s live snapshot; the missing interval is intentional.

Field-by-field completeness

Evidence states—not a disclosure leaderboard

Completeness is not quality, safety, honesty, or proof that one process makes a better drink. These explicit rules are groundwork for a future Transparency Index, not an index itself.

Removal method

10/14 removal-eligible records have a documented named method. Inapplicable and unknown applicability remain outside that denominator.

Residual ABV

2/14 records have a sourced exact residual claim without an open ABV conflict. Label-only declarations and ceilings stay separate.

Lab-tested residual share is not yet measurable from current records; a declaration is not called a lab result without lab evidence.

Grape varieties

2/14 wine records have a supported grape field. Presence in this catalog does not measure grape demand or tell growers what to plant.
