As opposed to your regular hardcore wine on the market, dealcoholised wine has a reduced amount of alcohol in it. Unlike your normal full-strength wine, dealcoholised wine has most of its alcohol content removed from it.

Because it is nearly reduced flavour and contains little to no ethanol, it is sometimes combined with the common wine descriptor "alcohol-free."

Unlike a full-strength wine, which makes one very intoxicated, a dealcoholised wine makes one less intoxicated because of the reduced alcohol content, which is mostly below 0.5%

Studies have shown  that dealcoholised red wine likely reduces blood pressure and hypertension.
