Arensbak Rouge Alcohol-Free Red Wine 75 cl 0,5%

Where Arensbak Blanc draws its character from jasmine tea, Red takes a darker path with notes reminiscent more of an autumn forest than a vineyard.

Expert's Description

Arensbak Red is an alcohol-free, kombucha-based drink from Denmark with an alcohol content of 0.0%. Like the Blanc edition, Red belongs to the "proxy-wine" category, where the drink is built from scratch based on fermented tea instead of grapes, aiming to mimic red wine's structure, tannin impression and gastronomic potential. Arensbak was founded by sommelier Emilie Ost-Jacobsen, fermentation specialist Bram Kerkhof and Christian Arensbak, and has gained international recognition, including at the World Alcohol-free Awards.
