Article Abstract
This study investigated compositional changes in red wines resulting from wine alcohol removal by reverse osmosis-vaporative perstraction (RO-EP) and provides insight into the physical and chemical changes in reduced alcohol wine (RAW). Trial 1 involved RO-EP treatment of three wines that were analyzed pre-treatment, post-treatment, and post-treatment with alcohol adjustment (i.e., addition of ethanol to achieve the original alcohol content). Trial 2 involved partial dealcoholization of two wines and analysis of samples collected during RO-EP treatment, i.e., wine in, wine out, retentate, permeate (pre- and post-EP treatment) and strip water. Wine color was analyzed by spectrophotometric methods, while other compositional changes were determined by WineScan, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses. In general, RAWs were slightly more concentrated than pre-treatment wines, which resulted in greater color intensity and increased phenolics and organic acids. However, partial dealcoholization resulted in lower concentrations of some fermentation volatiles, particularly ethyl esters, which may reflect ester hydrolysis following ethanol removal.

Climate change has a significant negative impact on agriculture and food production. This trend requires technological development and the adaptation of new technologies in both the grapevine production and winemaking sectors. High temperatures and heat accumulation during the growing season result in faster ripening and a higher sugar content, leading to a higher alcohol content during fermentation.

The rising demand for low- and no-alcohol (LoNoA) wines necessitates advanced dealcoholization techniques that retain key aroma compounds and sensory quality. Reverse osmosis (RO) is a promising method, yet the impact of RO pressure on volatile composition and sensory attributes remains underexplored. This study evaluates RO pressures (2.

The category of dealcoholized wine is receiving mounting interest within the wine industry related to the ability to retain sensory characteristics similar to regular wine while reducing or completely removing the alcohol level. This option has led health-conscious consumers to seek a lower alcohol alternative without compromising the authentic wine experience. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the various dealcoholization techniques that are being used in the production of dealcoholized and partial dealcoholized wine, specifically examining reverse osmosis, osmotic distillation, vacuum distillation, spinning cone column, pervaporation, and diafiltration along with the effects of these methods on chemical and sensory characteristics of wine, involving flavor, aroma, mouthfeel, and finish.

This study explores the impact of natural flower extracts from , , and to enhance the aroma of dealcoholized Chardonnay wine, addressing the sensory deficiencies commonly associated with dealcoholized wine beverages (DWBs). The investigation revealed a richer bouquet of aromatic compounds, particularly higher alcohols, esters, and terpenes, which significantly elevated the aromatic profile of treated wines without altering their physicochemical properties. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) showed distinct aroma profiles between control and flower extract-DWBs, with the latter exhibiting enhanced floral and fruity characteristics.

Membrane dialysis is studied as a promising technique for partial dealcoholization of white wines. The performance of three membrane processes applied for the partial dealcoholization of white wines of the Verdejo variety has been studied in the present work. Combination of Nanofiltration with Pervaporation, single step Pervaporation and, finally, Dialysis, have been applied to white wines from same variety and different vintages.
