Vintense

The brand forms part of Neobulles, a Belgian drinks company created in 2014 when Philippe Stassen acquired the Vintense name alongside two other brands. Vintense was among the early pioneers of premium dealcoholised wine in the Belgian market: dealcoholised wines are produced at full strength and then have the alcohol removed, rather than being made low-alcohol from the outset.

The production approach is designed to preserve the wine's original aromas and flavours during the removal process. Removing alcohol using high heat can strip delicate aromatic compounds from a wine; Vintense uses a method that avoids boiling, keeping those properties intact. The portfolio includes a Prestige line focused on specific grape varieties and higher-end sparkling formats.

Vintense distributes across supermarkets and specialist AF retailers in Belgium and internationally across Europe. The brand targets sober-curious wine drinkers and those managing alcohol intake for health or pregnancy reasons.
