Wölffer Non-Alcoholic Verjus

It's bright, tart, and quite literally mouthwatering, with strong notes of gooseberry and green apple alongside brioche, Meyer lemon, and guava. It's gently acidic — not as sour as lemon or lime juice.

Pour it as a spritzer for a refreshing non-alcoholic wine alternative, or use it as the main ingredient and base in alcohol-free cocktails. Because it's less sour than citrus juice, you can use it generously — it's also handy for dialing down the alcohol in a classic mix.

It's made from verjus, the pressed juice of unfermented Chardonnay grapes from Wölffer Estate's Long Island, NY vineyard. Its bright acidity pairs nicely with baked chicken, pork, and sushi.

Wölffer Estate is a family-owned winery in Sagaponack, New York, on Long Island's South Fork. It was founded in 1988 by Christian Wölffer and is run today by his children Joey and Marc Wölffer along with winemaker and partner Roman Roth. The Spring in a Bottle non-alcoholic sparklers are made in Germany from organically grown Rheinhessen grapes (Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Saint Laurent and Dornfelder in the Rosé), while the Verjus is pressed from early-harvested grapes at the Sagaponack estate.

For a drink to be legally non-alcoholic, it has to be 0.5% alcohol by volume or less. While this doesn't make it totally alcohol-free, it does mean it is impossible to experience any intoxication or other psychoactive effects from alcohol. For context, a slice of sourdough bread or a ripe banana has more alcohol by volume than any of our drinks!

We carry a few hundred different products on our website with all different ingredients. We suggest you consult with your doctor regarding specific ingredients. Everything we carry is non-alcoholic-- less than 0.5% ABV-- and very popular with our customers who are pregnant (and those who aren't, too)!

Some of our products contain adaptogens, nootropics, and other herbs that are not recommended for people who are pregnant, but we're not doctors and do not give medical advice. Every body and pregnancy is different, so we suggest talking to a healthcare professional if you're unsure.

Not all of our non-alcoholic beverages are 100% alcohol-free. Some contain trace amounts of alcohol at less than 0.5% alcohol by volume.  This is consistent with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s labeling policy, which permits the use of the term, “non-alcoholic” to describe a product that contains less than 0.5% alcohol by volume.

If you are looking for products that are 0.0% alcohol by volume, look for the "Alcohol-Free" badge on the product page.

Dealcoholized wine is wine that has gone through the entire wine making process-- pressing, fermentation, and aging-- before the alcohol is removed.

Most wines are dealcoholized using a technique called "vacuum distillation", where the wine is heated under a vacuum at very low temperatures. This allows for the alcohol to evaporate at a much lower temperature than boiling it off on your stove, like when you cook with alcohol or spirits. The result is that the flavor molecules that make up the flavor notes stay intact, giving our dealcoholized wines their characteristic complexity.

Sometimes, producers may add grape juice, grape must (a crush of whole grapes), sugar, or flavoring agents back to the dealcoholized wine in order to bulk up the body or balance the flavor.
