The rise of NOLO wines (non-alcoholic or low-alcohol alternatives), is attracting attention in the beverage industry. Listen in as Michael and I and our good friends and fellow wine industry professionals, Hoby and Justin, taste through sparkling, white, rosé and red non-alcoholic wines and share our unfiltered responses with each other!

• Learn about the different methods used to create non-alcoholic wines, preserving flavor during alcohol removal
• How are de-alcoholized wines different from the sparkling grape juice we were all served as kids during the holidays?
• Can Nolo wines fully replace traditional wines, or are they just enjoyable alternatives?

Want to hear more of Dr. Hoby Wedler? Listen to this episode where he talks about Seeing Flavor and Tasting Color and our episode talking about the "Come Over October Campaign". Follow him on INSTAGRAM and check out his WEBSITE.
