Worldwide, winemakers are increasingly adopting alcohol management strategies to counter the higher wine ethanol concentrations observed over the past ~30 years. Wines with high ethanol levels exhibit increased 'hotness' on the palate, which is generally considered to negatively impact wine quality. This study investigated changes in the chemical and sensory profiles of five Cabernet Sauvignon wines following their partial dealcoholization by reverse osmosis-evaporative perstraction (RO-EP). Descriptive analysis (DA) of wine before and after RO-EP treatment indicated dealcoholization did not strongly affect wine aroma and flavor, consistent with the small changes observed in wine chemical composition. However, significant differences in the perception of wine palate attributes were observed, with dealcoholized wines found to exhibit lower acidity, sweetness, bitterness, saltiness and/or body. Astringency was enhanced following partial dealcoholization of one wine, but diminished in another. Sensory trials were also undertaken to determine the optimal ethanol concentration of wines, or the 'alcohol sweetspot'. Two approaches to alcohol sweetspotting of dealcoholized wines were evaluated, together with two methods of statistical analysis, chi-squared goodness of fit and one proportion tests.

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.

The attention of some winemakers and researchers over the past years has been drawn towards the partial or total dealcoholization of wines and alcoholic beverages due to trends in wine styles, and the effect of climate change on wine alcohol content. To achieve this, different techniques have been used at the various stages of winemaking, among which the physical dealcoholization techniques, particularly membrane separation (nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, evaporative perstraction, and pervaporation) and thermal distillation (vacuum distillation and spinning cone column), have shown promising results and hence are being used for commercial production. However, the removal of alcohol by these techniques can cause changes in color and losses of desirable volatile aroma compounds, which can subsequently affect the sensory quality and acceptability of the wine by consumers.

Warmer growing seasons, variations to grape ripening dynamics, and stylistic changes have contributed to increased wine alcohol levels, which can negatively impact sensory properties. As a consequence, winemakers have sought technological innovations to produce reduced alcohol wine (RAW). The sensory methodology used by industry to optimize the ethanol content of RAW is known as 'alcohol sweetspotting'.
