Winemaking Services That Simplify Harvest & Elevate Quality
For over 30 years, we’ve partnered with wineries of all sizes to provide expert winemaking services tailored to real-world harvest needs. From precision alcohol adjustment and dealcoholization services to fermentation troubleshooting, BevZero is here to take complexity out of the crush season and help you produce your best wine, every time.
We don’t just support winemakers, we work alongside them. Our global team of winemakers, food scientists, and beverage technologists are embedded in the industry, bringing first-hand experience and scientific expertise to every solution.
Why BevZero? A Partner Rooted in Innovation
Founded in 1991, BevZero pioneered vacuum distillation for alcohol reduction in wine, a process that quickly became a standard in the industry. But our commitment to innovation didn’t stop there. Today, BevZero operates globally, offering advanced winemaking support from our facilities in the U.S., Spain, and South Africa.
Our services are designed to solve the most common, and most pressing, challenges of the modern winery. Whether you need to reduce alcohol for stylistic balance, recover from fermentation issues, or bring a new low- or no-alcohol wine to market, we’re ready with scalable, proven solutions.
Alcohol Adjustment: Precision Tools for Balanced Wines
Let’s start with one of the most impactful services we offer: alcohol adjustment.
Due to changing climate conditions, grapes are reaching higher sugar levels faster, leading to wines with elevated ABV. While alcohol plays a key role in mouthfeel and stability, too much can overwhelm varietal character or make a wine non-compliant for certain markets.
BevZero’s Solution
Using our proprietary technology, only 10% of your wine needs to be processed to achieve a 1% reduction in ABV across the total volume. This allows winemakers to achieve their desired balance without stripping their wine of its essence.
Key Benefits
- Maintains aroma, flavor, and texture
- No need to pre-filter wine, even with high solids
- Complimentary “Sweet Spot” tastings to determine ideal ABV
Winemakers love this because it offers flexibility. Want to drop from 15.2% to 13.5% for a European export? You can. Want to shave off 0.5% to improve balance without altering your style? That’s our specialty.
Dealcoholization for Low- and No-Alcohol Wines
Low- and no-alcohol wines are one of the fastest-growing categories in the beverage space. BevZero’s heritage in dealcoholization makes us the go-to partner for wineries entering this space.
We support your vision with:
- Alcohol removal to <0.5% ABV
- Sensory-driven process that preserves varietal character
- White label and private label production options
Whether you’re launching a new alcohol-free SKUs or testing a functional wine with added botanicals or adaptogens, we have the infrastructure and expertise to help you succeed, fast.
Stuck Fermentation Services: Don’t Dump the Vintage
A stalled fermentation can throw off your entire production schedule, and, if not corrected, cost you an entire vintage. BevZero’s stuck fermentation recovery is a targeted service that helps restart the ferment by gently lowering the alcohol content of the must. This creates an environment more favorable for yeast activity, allowing the process to continue without compromise.
We’ve helped countless winemakers rescue fermentations and avoid costly write-offs. Time is of the essence with these cases, and our global team can act fast.
Juice Concentration for Challenging Vintages
Not every harvest delivers high-sugar fruit. Cold snaps, droughts, or poor fruit set can all lead to low Brix at harvest. Instead of letting those grapes go to bulk or risking underpowered wine, BevZero’s juice concentration service helps you turn a light vintage into a strong performer.
What We Do
We remove neutral water from the juice while preserving volatile aroma compounds. This concentrates the must up to 40° Brix, ensuring intensity and varietal expression remain intact.
Perfect for
- Strengthening core blends
- Creating dessert-style wines
- Stabilizing product consistency year over year
Crossflow Filtration: Clarify with Confidence
Clarity isn’t just cosmetic, it’s a key part of wine stability and bottle readiness. BevZero offers crossflow filtration down to 0.45 microns. This level of precision makes it suitable for both bottling prep and post-dealcoholization treatment.
Use BevZero’s crossflow filtration to:
- Reduce microbial loads
- Polish wine before bottling
- Optimize reverse osmosis workflows
- Minimize oxygen pickup
Our system is gentle on wine and engineered for high throughput, making it ideal for wineries looking to stay on schedule during peak production windows.
Specialized Services for Modern Winemakers
In addition to our core harvest support, BevZero provides a variety of flexible winemaking services that help you streamline operations, remain compliant, and maintain quality.
Fortification & Blending
Want to increase alcohol for port-style wines or rebalance a light vintage? We offer fortification services using high-proof grape spirits (60%, 70%, 85%).
Wine Disposal
We handle in-bond wine transfers and disposal of compromised or unwanted product, ensuring environmental and regulatory compliance.
Cleaning & Sanitation
A clean cellar is a safe cellar. We provide cleaning support to ensure your tanks, lines, and equipment meet hygiene standards before or after harvest.
FSO₂ Removal
Need to meet import requirements or refine flavor? We legally reduce total free sulfur dioxide levels in wine to as low as 50 ppm.
