How is it made?

We’ve taken de- alcoholised wines and blended them with natural flavours and other elements to maintain the body, flavours, aromas and complexity often lost when alcohol is removed.

Our wines originate in Spain and are bottled here in the UK.

How do I get through the wax seal?

In much the same way you would open any other wine with a cork, but check out two different ways of doing so below.

The easy way is simply to put the corkscrew straight through the top of the wax, twist and then pull to remove the cork. The cork should come flush through the wax, you just need to be careful to avoid any extra wax spilling back into the bottle.

The other approach is to use the small knife on your corkscrew (or waiter’s mate if trying to impress your friends) to cut around the top of the wax, removing it and allowing for easy access to the cork itself. From here, you then twist and pull much as you would with any other cork.

What does it taste like?

Piquant is crisp, clean and perfectly balanced. It has hints of minerality and citrus notes.

Sanguine channels lighter-bodied reds. It has noticeable depth and complexity, with hints of plums and blackcurrants both on the nose and the palate.

How many calories?

Piquant contains 41 calories per 125ML glass.

Sanguines contains 42 calories per 125ML glass.

Is there any alcohol in this? Will I get drunk?

Whilst there are trace amounts of alcohol in Wednesday’s Domaine, there’s no more than would be found in a ripe banana or a glass of orange juice (a fun trivia fact). Sanguine has 0.18% ABV and Piquant has 0.04% ABV, both of which fall well within the 0.5% threshold to be declared as a non-alcoholic drink.

Whilst EU regulations state anything below 0.5% ABV is “alcohol free”, the UK requires anything below º0.05% to be referred to as “alcohol free” and anything between 0.05% and 0.5% as “de-alcoholised”, which is why you’ll notice slightly different wording on our Sanguine and Piquant labels.

Rest assured that drinking Wednesday’s Domaine will not change your blood alcohol level and therefore will not get you drunk.

Can I drink this if I’m pregnant?

Whilst EU regulations state anything below 0.5% ABV is considered “alcohol free”, we would always recommend seeking a doctor’s advice should you have any concerns, as well as following NHS guidelines.

Are there any allergens I should be aware of?

Our wines contain sulphites with potassium metabisulphite added as a preservative in the absence of alcohol.
