Arensbak Alcohol Free Wine

Arensbak calls itself an entirely new category in the beverage sector: a gourmet drink without alcohol, meant as a complement to wine rather than a simple substitute. It's a deliberate attempt to give up the alcohol without giving up the enjoyment. A bottle that insists on being more than just "alcohol-free wine."

  • Bottle of Arensbak Blanc alcohol-free kombucha-based white wine alternative
    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197280249

    Arensbak is not made from grapes. It is made from tea - kombucha, a fermented drink over 2000 years old - shaped by a Danish team consisting of a sommelier, a microbiologist and a branding expert, with the stated goal of recreating wine's complexity without a single grape in the recipe.

    Expert's Description

    Arensbak Blanc is an alcohol-free, kombucha-based drink from Denmark with an alcohol content of max 0.5%. The drink belongs to the "proxy-wine" category, where alcohol is not simply removed from regular wine, but the product is instead built from scratch based on fermented tea, fruit juice and botanical ingredients to mimic wine's structure and gastronomic potential. Arensbak was founded by sommelier Emilie Ost-Jacobsen, fermentation specialist Bram Kerkhof and Christian Arensbak, and has won awards at the World Alcohol-free Awards. The Blanc edition uses jasmine tea as its base, giving it its characteristic floral aroma.

About Arensbak Alcohol-Free Wine

Arensbak describes itself as an entirely new category in the beverage sector. According to the manufacturer, an Arensbak wine is a gourmet drink without alcohol, meant as a complement to wine as well as an alternative to alcohol-free wine. Arensbak's wine stands out for having a taste all its own, and buying an Arensbak lets you enjoy much of the pleasure of drinking wine without consuming nearly as many calories and, of course, without any alcohol. For newcomers it's an interesting, calorie-conscious option, while the conscious consumer will appreciate that the product deliberately doesn't try to imitate wine but creates its own category.

History & Background

Arensbak was developed as a deliberate alternative to the growing category of alcohol-free wine, based on the fundamental idea that the drink doesn't need to try to copy wine's taste to deliver a similar level of enjoyment. By positioning itself as its own category, a "gourmet drink," rather than an imitation, the producer aims to avoid the comparisons alcohol-free wine is often subjected to. The concept has found its niche among consumers looking for an alternative that doesn't feel like a compromise.

Production & Style

The wine is made by gently removing the alcohol from a finished wine, preserving as much aroma and flavor as possible.

Signature Style

Fruity, Fresh, Balanced
The flavor varies by type, but shares a fresh, fruity character without the weight of alcohol.
