Produced by Sutter Home Family Vineyards — one of the earliest American wineries to commit to the non-alcoholic category — this expression uses a proprietary spinning cone column process designed to preserve the aromatics and body of traditionally fermented Cabernet Sauvignon while stripping away the alcohol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Facts:\u003c\/strong\u003e ABV: \u0026lt;0.5%  |  Origin: California, USA  |  Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon (Dealcoholized)  |  Producer: Sutter Home Family Vineyards (Trinchero Family Estates)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eProduction \u0026amp; Heritage\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSutter Home Family Vineyards, founded in 1890 in Napa Valley and now operated under the Trinchero Family Estates umbrella, produces the Fre line as a dedicated non-alcoholic wine range. The Cabernet Sauvignon begins its life as a fully fermented wine before undergoing dealcoholization via a spinning cone column — a piece of technology that first captures delicate wine aromas and flavor compounds at low temperatures, then removes alcohol at slightly higher temperatures. The preserved wine essences are blended back into the dealcoholized base along with unfermented grape juice, a technique that helps retain varietal character while cutting the calorie count to roughly half that of conventional wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark cherry leads, followed by ripe blackberry and a subtle undercurrent of baking spice. The aromatic profile leans decidedly fruity, reflecting the reintroduction of captured wine essences during production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste:\u003c\/strong\u003e The entry is soft and fruit-forward, with juicy cherry and mixed berry flavors dominating the mid-palate. A touch of spice emerges as the wine develops, though the overall impression tilts toward ripe, sweet fruit rather than the tannin-driven structure of a full-strength Cabernet. The texture is smooth and reasonably silky for a dealcoholized wine, though noticeably lighter in body than its alcoholic counterpart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium in length with a clean, juicy berry fade.

On its own, it works best as a casual sipper for those seeking a wine-adjacent experience without alcohol. For a \u003cstrong\u003eNon-Alcoholic Sangria\u003c\/strong\u003e, the cherry and berry core provides a natural foundation when combined with fresh citrus and sparkling water. In a \u003cstrong\u003eVirgin Mulled Wine\u003c\/strong\u003e, the spice notes integrate well with warm cinnamon, cloves, and orange peel.

The overall character is sweeter and lighter-bodied than a standard Cabernet Sauvignon, leaning closer to ripe grape and berry fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does Fre Cabernet compare to St. Regis Cabernet Sauvignon?\u003c\/strong\u003e St. Regis Cabernet Sauvignon, which uses vacuum distillation for dealcoholization, tends to present a more oak-driven, \"wine-like\" profile, while Fre leans more fruit-juice-forward and sweeter. The choice between the two often depends on whether a drinker prefers tannin structure or fresh fruit character in a non-alcoholic red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Fre Cabernet good for beginners to non-alcoholic wine?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — its approachable sweetness and familiar berry flavors make it one of the easier entry points into the non-alcoholic wine category, particularly for those who already enjoy fruit-forward reds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is Fre Cabernet Sauvignon made?\u003c\/strong\u003e Fre Cabernet Sauvignon is produced in California by Sutter Home Family Vineyards, which operates under Trinchero Family Estates, a family-owned company headquartered in St. Helena, Napa Valley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat foods pair well with Fre Cabernet Sauvignon?\u003c\/strong\u003e Grilled portobello mushrooms complement the berry sweetness with earthy contrast. Margherita pizza works well thanks to the tomato sauce mirroring the wine's fruit acidity. Dark chocolate enhances the cherry notes. A charcuterie board with mild cheeses like Gouda provides textural variety. Herb-roasted chicken offers a protein pairing that doesn't overpower the wine's lighter body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sizes does Fre Cabernet come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e Fre Non-Alcoholic Cabernet Sauvignon is widely available in the standard 750ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Fre Cabernet worth the price?\u003c\/strong\u003e Fre positions as an entry-level option within the growing non-alcoholic wine category, and its price point reflects that accessibility. For consumers primarily seeking a familiar Cabernet-style experience without alcohol and at roughly half the calories of regular wine, it represents reasonable value, though those wanting a drier, more tannic profile may want to explore other NA producers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWhy Fre Cabernet?\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat distinguishes Fre's approach is the spinning cone column technology — a more gentle extraction method than the vacuum distillation used by many competitors — which preserves volatile aromatics that would otherwise be lost during dealcoholization. The result is a wine that retains recognizable Cabernet Sauvignon fruit character, even if it trades tannic complexity for juicy drinkability. With roughly half the calories of conventional Cabernet and a producer pedigree that stretches back over 130 years, Fre remains one of the most widely distributed and recognized names in the American non-alcoholic wine market. For anyone building an alcohol-free home bar or looking to rotate between full-strength and dealcoholized reds, this bottling fills a practical and reliable role.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44839465156777,"sku":"40046","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/FreNon-AlcoholicCabernetSauvignon.webp?v=1743207635"},{"product_id":"fre-non-alcoholic-sauvignon-blanc","title":"Fre Non-Alcoholic Sauvignon Blanc","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFre Non-Alcoholic Sauvignon Blanc White Wine 750ML\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFRE alcohol-removed Sauvignon Blanc offers fresh notes of green grass, and soft, tropical fruit aromas.
