PROJECT PiP: Crafted in Kent - raising the bar for Alcohol-Free wine

NIAB

Project objectives

This project aims to create the first UK-based alcohol-free wine. They will explore innovative fermentation and de-alcoholisation techniques using locally sourced produce from Kent. Collaborating with the Wine Innovation Centre at NIAB will give HWB access to the expertise and cutting-edge equipment available within the facility. The aim is to create alcohol-free wines that preserve the character of the fruit and the health properties within the fruit, responding to the rising demand for premium alcohol-free wine. The project will nurture partnerships with local farmers to champion regional viticulture and celebrate the unique terroir of Kent.
