In the glass
-
Nose
Green apple and a light citrus note. The fruit is clear and quiet, an apple-led aroma with the citrus kept pale.
-
Palate
Crisp and light-bodied, with bright acidity and a little sweetness. The acid keeps the sweetness slight. A faint pétillance runs through the sip, a prickle rather than a bead, and the body stays light. Green apple and citrus remain the fruit.
-
Finish
Clean and refreshing, and lightly sparkling. The faint pétillance is still there once the sip is gone. Nothing heavy follows it.
How wine-like is it?
A light Pinot Grigio: green apple, citrus, crisp acid, a little sweetness, and just enough sparkle to keep the finish refreshing.

The wine
Slightly sweet, and still crisp. Green apple and a light citrus note lead, and the sip is light-bodied, with bright acidity and a faint pétillance that never thickens into a bead. The sweetness is slight. The acid is what keeps the apple bright and the citrus pale, so the sweetness stays with the fruit. Bright acidity and the faint pétillance share that sweetness. The acid keeps the apple and the citrus in line. The prickle keeps the close lively after the sip.
Crisp is the texture, and light is the build. The faint prickle lifts the middle and returns at the end as a lightly sparkling finish. Clean and refreshing is the close. The sparkle is small. It is also the last distinct thing in the glass, a little lift after the apple and the citrus have already said what they are.
Seventy-seven for that light Pinot Grigio shape. Green apple and light citrus open it. Bright acidity, a crisp light body, and a little sweetness carry it. The faint pétillance is the extra, enough to make the finish feel refreshing and lightly sparkling. Pour it chilled, in a white-wine glass, while that small prickle is still easy to find.

The Seaglass page for the 2024 Central Coast Alcohol-Removed Pinot Grigio says the wine is made as their other wines are, with one added step to remove the alcohol. It does not name the machine. The sheet lists less than 0.5% alcohol, 100% Pinot Grigio, vintage 2024, appellation Central Coast, titratable acidity 0.75 g/100 mL, pH 3.22, and residual sugar 1.5 g/100 mL, which the page calls dry. The sheet’s calories are 25 per 5 oz glass. The back label of this bottle prints contains less than 0.5% alcohol by volume. Its ingredient list reads alcohol-removed Pinot Grigio wine, grape concentrate, natural flavors, sodium benzoate, and potassium sorbate. The nutrition panel is 35 calories and 3 g total sugars, including 0 g added sugars, per 8 fl oz. It is made and bottled for Luminara Beverages, LLC, St. Helena, California, and says refrigerate after opening. The back label’s sentence about ripe peach and floral notes is the bottler’s, not a tasting. The page’s aroma copy is not a tasting either. Scores cited on the page for other vintages are not a score for this record. The front label reads Seaglass, alcohol-removed wine, Pinot Grigio, Central Coast. Metro Wine & Spirits lists the 750 ml bottle at $14.99 on 2026-09-24. That listing is not the alcoholic Seaglass Pinot Noir sold alongside it.
Sources disagree on the following points.
- Sugar: The back label prints 3 g total sugars per 8 fl oz (240 ml), including 0 g added sugars. The 2024 tech sheet lists residual sugar 1.5 g/100 mL and calls the wine dry. Those are different panels. This record uses the back label.
- Calories: The back label prints 35 calories per 8 fl oz serving. The 2024 tech sheet lists 25 calories per 5 oz glass. This record uses the back label.
