The wine
French Paradox Malbec is Zenotheque’s dealcoholized Malbec red. Sans Alcool Du Vigneron prints under 0.50% alcohol, 750 ml, grapes with rectified concentrated grape must, plus sulfites and E242. Nutrition on that page is 13 kcal and 2.0 g sugar per 100 ml. Upside Drinks in Canada names Cahors and 100% Malbec at under 0.5% ABV, with the same calorie and sugar figures, and listed the bottle from CAD $31.00 on 7 November 2026.
On 4 November 2026, Frédéric Chouquet-Stringer of Zenotheque wrote that the range starts as wine, then uses vacuum distillation with Solos aroma recovery by adsorption, finishing around 0.3% ABV. He also stated the brand is not distributed in the United States; Canadian retail on Upside is recorded separately. The front label reads Alcohol Removed Premium Wine. Producer and retailer tasting copy stays off the tasting fields. There is no score.

Research notes
The French shop associates Malbec with South-West France and states that a named region is not an AOP or IGP claim for dealcoholized wine. Upside Drinks (Canada) names Cahors, France, 100% Malbec, under 0.5% alcohol, 750 ml, and prints grapes, grape must, preservatives, sulfites E242, with 13 kcal and 2 g sugar per 100 ml; its product breadcrumb mislabels the SKU “White Malbec” while the page title is Non-Alcoholic Malbec (red). On 4 November 2026, Frédéric Chouquet-Stringer of Zenotheque wrote that French Paradox is not distributed in the US, that the wines start as wine then use vacuum distillation plus aroma recovery by adsorption (Solos), with final ABV around 0.3%, and ingredients dealcoholized wine, MCR, CO2, sulfites and E242. The front label on the editorial still reads Alcohol Removed Premium Wine. Producer and retailer tasting copy stays off the tasting fields.
