Bonne Nouvelle© wines with reduced alcohol content
INRA process
Licensed to UCCOAR
In the 1980s, the partnership between INRA, the UCCOAR Group and the Arzens co-op distillery led to the invention of a dealcoholisation process that preserved a wine's organoleptic properties. The first French 'alcohol-free wine' was born. The first 'Bonne Nouvelle' wine was red, but the range now offers white, rosé and sparkling options made from different grape varieties to meet the demands of consumers in France and around the world looking to reduce their alcohol consumption.
