ZZVINO – or ZERO.ZERO VINO – is a new no-low wine alternative made for people who enjoy the taste and feel of wine, without the alcohol. Created by winemakers who wanted to keep the essence of wine intact, the result is a wine alternative focused on flavour, texture and the integrity of the grape.
For this new release, Doom Juice Wine has partnered with one of Australia’s early leaders in organic viticulture, Windowrie, to source Shiraz and Chardonnay grapes for the base, prioritising craft and genuine wine character.
ZZVINO blends the organically grown grapes with cherries, blueberries and blackberries to create a layered and approachable profile. It’s built from grape pomace – the skins and pulp which are left behind after pressing and usually discarded – giving the product a sustainable edge and reducing waste.
Unlike many no- and low-alcohol wine alternatives, ZZVINO uses a ‘low touch’ production process, meaning it has not been dealcoholised. Nothing has been removed or altered, meaning the wine’s natural flavours remain intact.
The team behind ZZVINO say: “ZZVINO is a project by winemakers, for wine drinkers – born from a desire to make a <0.5 per cent alc alternative that still feels like wine, tastes like wine, and celebrates the grape.
“Together, we’re creating something that bridges the gap between tradition and innovation – real grapes, grown with care, crafted with intent.
“It’s wine thinking, reimagined – bright, bold, and you can finish a whole bottle.”
ZZVINO is now available to the trade, and already ranged across 200 retailers nationally.
