Chicago, Illinois. September 11th, 2024 — A high quality additive to the low ABV and non-alcoholic movement, Kolonne Null is dedicated to crafting dealcoholized wines to the highest degree. Taken on by Wein-Bauer Imports in Chicago as the national importer, five dealcoholized wines will be available in a number of states nationwide—just in time for Sober October! However, don’t be spooked, these are among the best dealcoholized wines to hit the market.
Kolonne Null, established in 2018 in Berlin, Germany, crafts their beverages with traditional wine expertise and a keen sense of innovation. The Kolonne Null wine lab collaborates with family-owned wineries throughout Europe, focusing first on creating quality wines from vineyard to bottle. These products are rooted in the art of quality winemaking. The common goal of Kolonne Null and their winemaking families is to capture the distinctive characteristics of each region, grape variety, and vintage in their wines, weaving a unique story with each bottle.
Yet not all grapes are the same! That’s why Kolonne Null carefully considers and inspects the delicate and subtle differences between them and the wines they select for production. They strictly use traditionally pressed and particularly aromatic vintage wines or cuvées to achieve the highest quality end product. There’s absolutely no compromise when it comes to quality.
Research in their in-house laboratory then lays the foundation for every creation. Kolonne Null is very similar to its alcoholic alternatives: while the alcohol is carefully removed, its replacement of a delicate amount of fine grape must ensure the essential aromas, acids, and vital phenols that make wine so enjoyable are preserved. The must helps orchestrate the symphony between all of the fruits and aromas that leave the wonderful wine flavor completely intact. So, while extracting alcohol they create something new—something that did not exist before—Kolonne Null is making a dealcoholized wine that is natural, low in calories, and extraordinary in taste.
Only the most brilliant compositions are de-alcoholized on a bigger scale and become part of the Kolonne Null collection. The range includes five still wines, featuring Rosé, Riesling, Verdejo, and two red wine cuvées, as well as two sparkling options.
