The Italian wine cooperative Cantine Riunite, through its U.S. importer Frederick Wildman, is introducing two non-alcoholic wine alternatives to the American market under its established Riunite and Maschio brands. The products are named Riunite Zero Red Semi-Sparkling and Maschio Zero White Sparkling.

Cantine Riunite produces these non-alcoholic wine varieties by first fermenting grape must in the traditional manner and then employing a specific process to extract the alcohol content while aiming to preserve the original beverage's flavor profile and aromatic character.

The Italian wine cooperative's launch is supported by market data indicating a significant increase in consumer demand for non-alcoholic beverages, with the brands already having recorded substantial international sales prior to their stateside debut. The commercial strategy includes a coordinated marketing campaign and distribution through major national retail chains.
