Cheshire based Alcohol free wine merchant SanSin Wines to appear in national guidance for mums to be.

Later this year will see the publication of a lively new guide to pregnancy, birth and the baby’s first year called ‘You and Your Family’. This guide is published in partnership with the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) and sets out to clarify all the conflicting information that families are bombarded with. It will be made available both on line and in a booklet that will be given to c250,000 women at their first scan.

SanSin Wines based in Cheshire was set up earlier this year to promote and sell alcohol free wines as an alternative to traditional wines. “When we were approached by CWP on behalf of RCOG to appear in the guide, I was amazed that they had chosen us. I think they must have felt that a small company owned by a woman for women was just the sort of organisation they wanted to appear in the guide. This is such an exciting opportunity for us to put alcohol free wines on the map. The past 4 months have been focused on raising awareness that there are some superb alcohol free wines out there and this will certainly help us to achieve our goals.”

Almost every woman finds that they fancy a glass of wine or two while they are pregnant or breast feeding. Now they can have a glass of wine with dinner. Our wines are imported from the USA, Europe and Spain. The Vineyards make the wine and then the alcohol is removed using a system of filters and high pressure, producing a wine that tastes like traditional wine but containing less than 0.5% alcohol (the same amount of alcohol that is found in a glass of orange juice).

WINES WITHOUT ALCOHOL FOR A SAFER PREGANCY

  

We would like to raise a glass to toast you and your baby, but what can we drink? SanSin wines now have the answer – alcohol-free wine! We know that you will want to do the best for this precious new life. But when it comes to alcohol what is ‘doing the’ best?
We all find that we fancy a glass of wine whilst pregnant or breast feeding, but there are some concerns over how alcohol will affect you and your developing baby.

Research shows that if you continue to drink heavily when you are pregnant you could be putting your baby at risk.

Department of Health current guidelines state that the occasional drink (one or two units once or twice a week) was considered safe for a pregnant woman. There is a lot of confusing information out there, so what is the answer?

The government’s health watchdog, NICE, published guidance advising women not to drink at all during the first three months of pregnancy, but a small amount of alcohol after this was safe. However, there was uncertainty about what exactly a “safe” level was.

No one is sure about the precise impact of small amounts of alcohol on unborn babies. So, some experts’ advice that it is best to avoid alcohol completely whilst pregnant or breastfeeding.

SanSin Wines have put together a range of quality de-alcoholised wines from around the world so that you can drink wine without feeling guilty.

Our Domaine de Fleur range appeals to those liking old world wines. Sohnlein Sparkling variety are fresh German wines whilst the Ariel collection from America has a New World appeal. The entire portfolio is completed by a full-bodied white wine produced by Torres.

How are they “de-alcoholised”? The Vineyards produce wine in the normal way and then remove the alcohol using a filtration system, leaving a drink that tastes like traditional wine but contains less than 0.5% alcohol and half the calories.

Now you can enjoy your pregnancy with a safe alternative.

 De-alcoholised wines and Alcohol free wines are on the map!!

Why Consuming Alcohol Free Wine is good for you.

Over the years there has been a massive improvement in the production of de-alcoholised and alcohol free wines. They have gone from tasting like bad grape juice to pleasant drinks that taste like wine!

De-alcoholised wine is a superb alternative to traditional wine. Why drink de-alcoholised wines, I hear you ask. And my answer is that there are a number of good reasons why you should drink de-alcoholic wine. Dieters - de-alcoholised wines on average contain 50% less calories a glass than traditional wines. Recovering alcoholics although de-alcoholised wines taste so much like traditional wines, this could be seen as a step to close. The designated driver can now sit there drinking a glass of wine like the rest of the group instead of having to drink soft drinks all the time. Non-drinkers - a glass of de-alcoholised wine can be very inclusive. Religious abstainers again can be made to feel included. Pregnant and breastfeeding women can drink de-alcoholised wines.
Recent research in America has indicated that de-alcoholised red wine contains all of the properties that are contained in traditional red wines and are linked with improved health. According to some medical experts de-alcoholised wine is better for you than alcoholic wine. For one thing it contains on average 50% fewer calories. The average glass of wine contains c120 calories, the average de-alcoholised wine glass contains less than 35 calories!

Nowadays vineyards and wineries make the traditional wines and then remove the alcohol using a method called vacumn distillation. They can not remove a 100% of the alcohol but they can reduce the alcohol content to less than 0.5% alcohol. As only the alcohol is removed, the wine retains all the other elements that make it a wine.

Europe has embraced de-alcoholised wines and there are now a number of extremely good products  on the market across Europe. These are slowly making their way into Britain, but the main thing that has to be overcome in Britain is our reluctance to see the benefits of drinking a wine that tastes like wine but does not make us drunk!

A week in the life of SanSin Wines

Good Evening all.

It has been a very busy week for me.

I have taken delivery this morning of a stock of both Ariel  and Domaine de Fleur Wines, and my new flyers have arrived!! And I am on the trail of a new range of wines from Spain and Australia. All very exciting.

For those of you interested in the Torres Natureo Red unfortunately I don’t think it will be appearing this year:(

On a positive note I have just started stocking Stowford Press LA Cider (0.5%). These are sold in packs of 12 bottles x330ml and cost £11.52/pack

In recent tastings comments have included

“Wow—this really tastes like Cider!”

“This is really refreshing and tastes like Cider”

Last week I was on RedShift Radio in Crewe talking about alcohol free wine—this was a first for me as I have never been on radio before. I liked it!!! So watch this space...

I have also recently done a wine tasting for Belong in Macclesfield ( a lovely residential home). Of all the wines they tasted, they loved the Ariel White Zinfandel the best, closely followed by the Domaine de Fleur Sparking and the Natureo White. 

Today we have spent the whole day at the Altrincham Festival handing out SanSin Wine flyers. I am now very burnt. The weather was beautiful but being my usual self I did not put on any suntan lotion!! Will I ever learn?

As you know we are currently an online business but watch this space.

I have recently revamped the website and also added the ability to pay by credit card or paypal. Any comments are welcome—both good and bad (!).

I have also agreed with my delivery company that they will collect from me on a Monday and a Thursday—delivering to you the customer on either Tuesday or Friday. So get your orders in now if you want some alcohol free wine for the weekend!

A drunken brawl, a celebrity call girl and tattooed men (and women) ... whatever happened to a genteel day out at Royal Ascot?

As I read this article in the Daily Mail today I was horrified.

For 300 years, it has been the highlight of the summer calendar for the well-off and well-connected. It is a stately institution for goodness sake. But nowadays it has become an event to dress up (the ladies) and 'have a good time'. 

On your  marks, gets set, we're off: drink as much as we can in the shortest space of time i.e down a couple of pints before the horses have turned the first bend. Be flat on our backs or in the middle of a fight as the horse reach the Royal Mile!

What I want to know is exactly when 'have a good time' became a euphemism for getting totally drunk, fight, laugh, shout, cop off with someone you don't know, disgrace yourself and have a raging hangover the next day! Is that really 'having a good time?'

Do we need to be drunk to be able to communicate with our fellow men (or women)? Why can't we just chat, laugh and joke with our mates over a couple of drinks, whilst also enjoying why we are at Ascot in the first place - to see the horse racing!

I am not sure if the "£98 bottles of Laurent Perrier Rose Champagne" that were been thrown around were brought as corporate entertainment or by the individuals themselves. If it was Corporate entertainment where is the Corporate's social responsibility policy when you need it? Surely encouraging guests and employees to drink excessively is not very socially responsible. If the individuals brought the  Champagne themselves - well more fool them.

Why do the British do this? We drink to excess, we are rude, we fight, is it any wonder we get very few points in the European Song Contest (Jedward aside!). No one likes us.

Why do a small few have to ruin it for the majority?

It was very good timing on the part of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation to release the results of their survey published by the Guardian  "Parents' behaviour 'has strong impact on teen drinking'.

http://t.co/qPmIxc6

What must our children think of us running around a racecourse drunk and fighting?

I am sure the rules and regulations for Ascot will be stricter next year and if the Queen was asked to comment I am sure she would say "We are not amused".

Good Alcohol Free Wine Blog - All of the Taste but none of the Sins

Morning all. Welcome to SanSin Wines Alcohol Free Blog. Here I am hoping to spend some time telling you about the great De-Alcoholised wines that there are on the market.

First off let me explain how a good Alcohol Free Wine is made.
The wine is produced in the traditional way. It is then placed in a special tank, where a pump pushes the wine through a series of incredibly fine membranes (the reverse osmosis unit) and separates a thick syrupy concentrate from any alcohol and water. This process is repeated a number of times and the alcohol and water is filtered into a separate tank, Once the process is complete 99.5% of the alcohol has been removed from the thick concentrate. The final stage is just before bottling when the concentrate is rehydrated with fresh water. Et Voila Non Alcoholic Wine.

Because this is an additional process in the production of the wine, it of course makes the wine more expensive than people normally think. For some reason people think - no alcohol = low cost, when in fact good low alcohol = extra production costs = not low cost! However the more people that drink it the lower the cost of production will become.

Health Benefits of drinking Alcohol Free Wine.

Growing research over the last 20 years has shown the antioxidant and cholesterol-fighting benefits associated with wine drinking. These same beneficial plant compounds that provide the health benefits in wines remain in Alcohol Free Wine!

Reasons for drinking Alcohol Free Wine.

Designated Driver

On Medication so can't drink
