Wines may be labelled as "low-alcohol" if the alcohol content is between more than 0.5% and a maximum of 5% vol. This state can be achieved by reducing the alcohol content. See also under non-alcoholic (less than 0.5% or 4 g/l alcohol), in relation to the alcohol content in light and heavy wine, as well as near beer and a complete list of all alcoholic beverages under alcoholic beverages.
I have great respect for the scope and quality of the wein.plus encyclopaedia. It is a unique place to go for crisp, sound information on terms from the world of wine.
