I wandered across the article below from the New York Post which indicated the growth that industry is experiencing. The article from Winefolly below also indicates the huge potential, but suggests that noone has really found the secret formula for preserving the taste that alcohol provides the wine. The Winefolly post points to a study done in France that showed decreasing alcohol content from 12% to 6% did not have an impact on the positive health benefits of wine.

I was wondering if anyone in the class has experience with non-alcoholic wine. There is a huge portion of the wold that does not drink alcohol (several Muslim countries for instance make alcohol illegal). Even in instances in the United States where someone may not drink alcohol (whether for a period of time - i.e. pregnancy or for the long term), I would think this product offering would see demand. The key question is whether the return on investment makes sense and the product can stand up in terms of quality and comparability to wine with alcohol.
