The wine

Bait + Switch is Alisa Jacobson’s alcohol-removed Sauvignon Blanc, the bottle she signs AJ. The grapes are certified organic, and the label places them in Santa Barbara County. Her notes put the blend at Sauvignon Blanc with a little Viognier. The ingredient line is shorter. It names that Sauvignon Blanc and sulfur dioxide, and it does not mention Viognier.

She removes the alcohol by vacuum distillation and finishes and bottles the wine at her Santa Ynez winery. The residual alcohol, she says, is 0.5% almost exactly; the label edge still prints less than 0.5%. Cristaldi had already named vacuum distillation for this bottle, then a short stay in neutral oak. She founded Turning Tide in 2018, and a Chronicle excerpt on her site calls this the first dealcoholized wine from that label. The bottle is a screw cap. Twelve calories and a trace of sugar sit on the nutrition panel, in a five-ounce pour. The wine is vegan, and the run in her notes is 120 cases. Those notes say the wines are meant to be enjoyed young. The twenty-dollar price is the Chronicle excerpt on her site. Buyers can find it on turningtidewines.com/wines. Cristaldi lists the bottle, names Santa Barbara County, and does not print a price. It has not been poured for this record.

Research notes

The edge reads contains less than 0.5% alcohol by volume and 25.4 fl oz (750 ml). The back label is a nutrition panel for a 5 fl oz (147 ml) serving, five servings: 12 calories, 3 g carbohydrate, 0.2 g sugar, 30 mg sodium. It says the bottle contains 0% juice. The label is marked vegan friendly, contains sulfites, certified organic by CCOF, and woman-owned. It says the wine is cellared and bottled by Alisa Irene Blends LLC in Santa Ynez, California, and it prints Santa Barbara County. She also pointed readers to turningtidewines.com/wines. Early harvesting and a kiss of new oak are the producer’s flavor sentences, not a tasting. The note on that listing says the alcohol is gently removed via vacuum distillation, then a short élevage in neutral oak, after an early harvest, barrel fermentation, lees stirring, and a little new oak. The shelf talker prints the closing lines of that note and does not name Cristaldi.

Where sources disagree

Sources disagree on the following points.

  • ABV: The label prints less than 0.5%. Producer notes, Cristaldi, and Alisa Jacobson’s 5 November 2026 email print or confirm about 0.5%. The same notes say there is no alcohol here. All claims are kept. Displayed alcohol follows the producer’s 0.5% almost exactly confirmation.
  • Grapes: The notes print 95% Sauvignon Blanc and 5% Viognier. The ingredient line names only Sauvignon Blanc. The Chronicle excerpt on the producer site says a touch of Viognier was added.
