Zeno

The grapes come from organically certified vines in Castilla-La Mancha, central Spain. Alcohol removal uses a spinning cone column, a low-temperature method that passes wine through a series of rotating cones under reduced pressure, separating the alcohol while protecting the delicate aromas that heat-based processes tend to damage. The brand's own documentation frames this technique as preserving aromatic character that cheaper dealcoholisation approaches cannot match, and the process is central to how Zeno justifies its premium positioning.

The range covers both still and sparkling styles across multiple wine formats, using named Spanish grape varieties as a deliberate signal to wine-savvy consumers that origin and variety matter here, not just the absence of alcohol. This varietal specificity sets Zeno apart from many AF wine brands that default to broader, market-generic labels.

Zeno emerged from a gap that the founders, as wine professionals, identified from inside the industry: the absence of credible AF wine that wine lovers would actually choose to drink. David Gleave MW holds a Master of Wine qualification, and the Liberty Wines team brings a pedigree in fine wine sourcing and trade distribution that few purpose-built AF brands can replicate.

The brand uses lightweight glass bottles and FSC-certified labels as part of a stated commitment to reducing environmental impact. Pricing sits in the premium bracket, reflecting both the Liberty Wines pedigree and the cost of low-temperature dealcoholisation at this quality level.

Distribution spans mainstream supermarkets and specialist alcohol-free retailers. The natural audience is the sober-curious drinker who already knows their way around a wine list.
