About
ARIEL is a pioneer in producing award winning de-alcoholized wines. Since the first commercial production in 1985, ARIEL has gained recognition from the world's leading wine critics and connoisseurs alike when their ARIEL Blanc wine was awarded the Gold Medal at the Los Angeles County Fair in 1986 in a blind tasting against wines with alcohol. Before this recognition, non-alcoholic wines were said to not have the same quality as alcoholic wines. However, ARIEL proved this notion untrue, and since then, they have gone on to win acclaim and numerous awards in competitions against alcoholic and non-alcoholic wines throughout the world.
In today's health-conscious world, there's been a dramatic decrease in alcohol consumption, and ARIEL wines appeal to the wine drinker who appreciates the taste and full complexity of premium wines, but is searching for a non-alcoholic alternative as a safe and comparable lifestyle choice. Today, four out of ten American's abstain from drinking alcohol.
ARIEL wines are not only de-alcoholized, but non-fat, and contain 50 percent fewer calories than traditional wine. For those following the Atkins Diet, this translates to approximately 19-36 calories* for a four ounce serving, compared to the average of 100 calories* for alcoholic wines. Dieters, designated drivers, expectant mothers and the alcohol-restricted alike can enjoy ARIEL wines as an excellent companion with meals, in cooking, and at business events and social occasions.

There are many health benefits for drinking non-alcoholic wines:
Heart Disease: In the past decade there have been scores of reports in medical journals around the world detailing the benefits of wine consumption for decreasing heart disease. For instance, a 1994 study by Michael H. Criqui and Brenda L. Ringel, from the University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine studied heart disease rates in 21 countries and found that the more wine a country drank, the fewer heart disease deaths it reported.
Cholesterol: Scientists at the University of California, Davis, have identified another group of chemicals in red wine that is linked to the ability to lower cholesterol. Called saponins, these glucose-based plant compounds are being found in an increasing number of foods. This is the first time they've been found in wine, according to Andrew Waterhouse, Ph.D., Professor of Enology (wine chemistry) at the University of California, Davis.
Strokes: A 16-year study of 13,000 people in Denmark by Institute of Preventive Medicine has found that a daily glass of wine may significantly reduce the risk of stroke. The researchers noted that those who drank roughly one glass of wine daily — red or white — had a 32-percent reduction in their risk of stroke. The same was not true of beer or liquor drinkers.
