- INTRODUCING GIESEN 0% RIESLING TO WORLD’S LEADING PREMIUM NON-ALCOHOLIC RANGE
Giesen 0% range extension follows strong U.S. consumer demand for New Zealand 0% Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Premium Red and Rosé Giesen 0% of New Zealand, the global premium brand leader in alcohol-removed wines, has announced the release of Giesen 0% New Zealand Riesling, the newest addition to their popular non-alcoholic range. Giesen 0% Riesling offers mindful wine drinkers a lower-calorie, non-alcoholic option with less than 0.5% alcohol per volume and no added sugars, and 33 calories per 5 Oz standard serving. Giesen Group’s extension to their premium non-alcoholic range follows the successful launch of the world’s first alcohol-removed New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc in 2020, and the introduction of Giesen 0% Pinot Grigio, Premium Red and Rosé in spring 2022. Giesen 0% is a benchmark for quality in the rising non-alcoholic beverage sector and was just named a 2022 Impact Hot Prospect Brand in recognition of notable sales growth in the U.S. The strong sales performance highlights the emergence of the ‘sober curious’ movement driven by consumers seeking quality alcohol-removed wines to match healthy lifestyle preferences. “Giesen 0% Riesling is a response to overwhelming customer feedback to add this popular, food-friendly varietal to our core range”, says Duncan Shouler, Giesen Group Chief Winemaker. “Our new Riesling is my personal favorite from the Giesen non-alcoholic range. The fruit is sourced from Marlborough and Waipara, with Marlborough’s signature bright, citrus flavor and Waipara florals at the forefront. Riesling is such an expressive variety, and we’re able to preserve its vibrant aromatic character through our gentle alcohol removal process.” The new Giesen 0% New Zealand Riesling features notes of lime, citrus blossom, and elderflower on the nose. The palate offers lively and refreshing Riesling character with zingy lime, ripe mandarin, and delicious sweetness, all balanced by crisp acidity to appeal to wine lovers and sommeliers seeking food-friendly pairings. Shouler believes Giesen 0% Riesling is the closest version to its full-strength counterpart, Giesen New Zealand Riesling. The process for making Giesen 0% alcohol-removed wines begins with a full-strength Giesen wine as a base. This ensures that the final wine has the aroma and flavors expected of the full-strength equivalent. Then, through advanced spinning cone technology – which allows for gentle alcohol extraction through low-temperature, vacuum steam distillation – the aroma is first removed from the wine, followed by the alcohol. The Giesen team then blends the alcohol-removed wine, aroma essence, and a touch of grape juice to round it out. Available as of November 2022, the suggested retail price for Giesen 0% New Zealand Riesling is $15.99. Giesen 0% wines are exclusively imported by Pacific Highway Wines & Spirits, the 2022 winner of “Importer of the Year” by Wine Enthusiast’s Wine Star Awards. Giesen 0% has less than 0.5% alcohol per volume, no added sugars, and 33 calories per 5 Oz standard serving (as compared to Giesen 10.5% Riesling). Giesen 0% Riesling is recommended as an aperitif and offers a classic varietal structure to pair with complex dishes. Bartenders have also developed a range of non-alcoholic cocktails, such as the Riesling 0% Mojito, as a lively alternative to full-strength drinks.

- Sunny Day Sips: Why Non-Alcoholic Wines are More Popular than Ever! Ft. Giesen 0%
Watch the Sunny Day Sips Video here or read the transcript below. Whether I’m hosting dinner parties, sitting poolside, or enjoying a few glasses with friends, wine is one of my favorite ways to enjoy the moment. When trying to live healthier, the after-effects of alcohol may not always be in the cards, which is why non-alcoholic wines are more popular than ever. Current wine drinkers are actively seeking quality options in the 0% category. 66% of millennials report that they are actively working to lower their alcohol intake and 56% consider themselves “mindful drinkers.” If you’re taking time off from drinking, stopping completely, or simply trying to drink less, non-alcoholic wines are a great mindful option to crack open for any occasion — be it a dinner party or simply unwinding at home. They’re low-calorie and still preserve everything you love about wine — without the effects of alcohol. So, when I found out about Giesen's non-alcoholic wines, I couldn't keep it a secret! Sourced from beautiful New Zealand vineyards, Giesen 0% is the world's leading Premium Range of non-alcoholic wines, including white, red and rosé styles. But don't mistake it for grape juice! Giesen 0% wines are grown and made with the same process as their full-strength Estate wines, so you don't need to sacrifice quality and taste for your healthy lifestyle. The only difference is that Giesen 0% has the alcohol gently removed after fermentation using innovative, spinning cone technology that preserves the aromas and flavors we love in wine. With less than 0.5% alcohol per volume, no added sugars, and only 19-27 calories per 5 oz serving, there's something for anyone seeking better-for-you options. Plus, they’re a healthy and mindful alternative to soda — and pair far better with your favorite meals. So let's check out what we have today! First, see what everyone is raving about and try the nation's #1 selling 0% Sauvignon Blanc. It features delicate orange aromas of fresh lime, redcurrant, and lemon shortbread, followed by distinct blackcurrant and passionfruit notes. One taste of this is heaven. Fans of Pinot Grigio, you'll love this next option. Giesen 0% Pinot Grigio features delicate floral notes with white flowers, lychee, and red apple on the nose. Its taste is light, delicious, and balanced between crispness and sweetness, offering everything you love in one glass. Giesen 0% Rosé is another fan favorite. This light-bodied go-to boasts delicious stone fruit aromas of white peach, apple, and fresh strawberries. Those apple and stone fruit notes linger on the palate alongside crisp cranberry flavors and a lively, refreshingly dry texture. And we didn't forget about you Red lovers! Expect delicate aromas of crushed blackberry and wild herbs in Giesen 0% Premium Red. Crushed red berries and plum offset by toasted oak on the palate deliciously combine to give a light and refreshing option for any occasion. Lastly, for those occasions where you want full-strength wine, reach for a bottle of Giesen Estate Sauvignon Blanc. Family owned and crafted in New Zealand's Marlborough wine region for over 40 years, this premium varietal is crisp and refreshing with generous flavors of vibrant tropical fruit and citrus, and subtle notes of freshly cut herbs.

On track to have another record sales year, Giesen 0% Sauvignon Blanc continues to lead the premium tier (priced over $12) for non-alcoholic wines in the U.S. The strong business performance highlights growing consumer demand for quality alcohol-removed wines, driven by U.S. wine drinkers seeking lower-calorie, non-alcoholic options that match healthy lifestyle preferences. Non-alcoholic wine sales are up 22% over the last 52 weeks (ending 6/30/22), according to NielsenIQ Panel, with average consumer spending per non-alcohol bottle up 18% over the same period. Nielsen further reports that 66% percent of Millennials are actively working to lower their alcohol intake. 56% of millennials consider themselves “mindful drinkers” and also purchase alcoholic wine, beer or spirits.

Giesen Group has responded to the popularity of their Giesen 0% Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand’s benchmark variety, with the release of three new alcohol-removed wines in spring 2022, and a fourth coming in fall 2022. The line extension includes popular wine styles that will greatly expand the premium non-alcoholic range, namely: Giesen 0% Rosé, 0% Premium Red, 0% Pinot Grigio (available now) and 0% Riesling (available in fall 2022). Imported by Pacific Highway Wines, President Mark Giordano comments, “Giesen 0% growth is not only outpacing the non-alcohol wine category in the U.S. but is setting new standards for premium quality non-alcoholic offerings globally.” Giordano continues, “Giesen 0% Sauvignon Blanc is the number one selling non-alcoholic Sauvignon Blanc in the U.S. and Giesen 0% Rosé is the number two selling non-alcoholic Rosé (Nielsen, 4 weeks ending 6/30/22). We anticipate a continued fast pace and exciting success with the rest of the line extension over the coming months.” Giesen Group is committed to changing consumer perceptions and educating wine drinkers about the quality potential across their 0% range. “This is an opportunity to show consumers that craft and premium alcohol-removed wine are available in many styles,” says Giesen Group Chief Winemaker Duncan Shouler “Wine lovers should not have to compromise on taste, so we’re using our 40 years of winemaking experience to make a great quality wine first, then gently removing alcohol using innovative spinning cone technology. Our new Rosé and Pinot Grigio deliver the bright, fresh flavors consumers crave – and our Premium Red Blend expands our offering with a fruity style with great structure.” The suggested retail price for Giesen 0% Sauvignon Blanc, Giesen 0% Rosé, Giesen 0% Premium Red, Giesen 0% Pinot Grigio and Giesen 0% Riesling is $15.99.
