Is Alcohol-Free Wine Halal?

Quick answer Scholars differ

Scholars differ. Alcohol-free wine is real wine with the alcohol removed, and often still has up to 0.5%. Many scholars say avoid it because it is made from wine and imitates drinking. Others allow drinks with a negligible trace that cannot intoxicate.

Also asked as: “Is non-alcoholic wine halal?” · “Is dealcoholised wine haram?” · “Can Muslims drink 0% wine?”

Why many avoid it

The drink starts as wine, which is haram, and is designed to look and taste like it. Many scholars say this resemblance alone is reason to avoid it.

The more lenient view

Some scholars judge the drink by what it is now: if the alcohol is so low that no amount could intoxicate, they treat it like other foods with natural traces of alcohol.

In practice

Grape juice and sparkling grape drinks avoid the question entirely. See also is non-alcoholic beer halal?
