Oddbird GSM Non-Alcoholic Red Wine

It's bold and juicy, with jammy blackberries and dried cherries balanced by gentle acidity. You'll also pick up huckleberry, cured meat and cooking spices, plus just enough tannin on the finish to keep you sipping.

It shines alongside steak, lamb, or a charcuterie board. It's also a good pick for pizza night, date night, or as a host gift at a dinner party.

It's a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Carignan from Saint-Chinian in the South of France, made with de-alcoholized wine, rectified grape must concentrate, sulfites and tannins. Bottles are 750 ml, with 35 calories per 8-ounce serving.

Oddbird is a Swedish company founded in 2013 by Moa Gürbüzer, a former family therapist who started the brand as a way to change drinking culture; her husband Mehmet Gürbüzer serves as CEO. The wines themselves are made in France — the bottles we carry come from the Languedoc-Roussillon region, where grapes like Chardonnay and Colombard are fermented and aged as regular wine before the alcohol is gently removed. So think of it as a Swedish brand working with French winemakers rather than a single 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.

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.

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.

Non-alcoholic spirits are specifically developed for mixing in non-alcoholic cocktails. These spirits taste great when mixed with soda water, tonic water, sodas, juices, and even other non-alcoholic spirits, but they might taste a little weird on their own. You're welcome to try them neat (we can't stop you!), but we don't recommend assessing whether or not you like a non-alcoholic spirit without mixing it, first.
